That's one serious running uniform :/ So races do you have coming up?

From Michelle N. on Thu, Sep 25, 2008 at 09:47:18

You are so cute. I love your picture. Although, I don't know who's outfit is better, yours or the guy next to you. I love his shorts.

From Ericka on Thu, Sep 25, 2008 at 11:53:33

Thanks ya'll for the warm welcome. I'll let the time warp behind me know he beat me out in wardrobe, I'm sure he'll appreciate that. As for races, I don't really have any planned. I'm kinda spur of the moment.. maybe I'll run St. George this year... hmmm?

Park City? I was in Midway but didn't get a chance to go over to Park City and shop. Get any new florescent knee high socks? I'm hoping you'll wear some when we hang out next weekend. . .

From Ericka on Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 13:35:22

No new knee socks but I discovered Coach hand bags which is very very bad!! Looking foward to the weekend :)

Good job getting out this week. Feeling better today than on Wed?

From Ericka on Sat, Oct 11, 2008 at 17:35:31

No, not really. I think I need some diet improvements or more sleep... Something, cause I really shouldn't be as tired as I feel. I'm not doing anything I'm not used to.

Any hoo, good job to you too!

From josse on Sun, Oct 12, 2008 at 12:25:42

I am always more tired around that time of the month, maybe that is it? But sleep is a good thing as well. Good job getting in the runs:)

Running MilesSwimming YardsBike Miles

Went up the canyon with Karina and the dog. Before we went running we were hanging out at Canyon Glen Park and came across an older man with a dog the size of my hand practically. His minature dog ran away from him a little bit and I think he thought Brune was going to eat him or something(even though Brune was on a leash and showed no interest in the dog). I could tell the man was anxious by the way he was yelling at him, so I sat down with Brune and chilled. After the man got his dog he said thank you to me like I had just saved his dog's life. It was kinda funny but cute at the same time. I thought the little ones were for the girls who want to be like Paris.

Look what I found.   http://athlinks.com

It's always interesting to see results from races you forgot about on athlinks.

From josse on Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 16:43:04

athlinks has me as several differant people including a man from some weird country. But a really cool website. It doesn't have all mine though.

From josse on Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 16:43:57

You didn't tell me about the little dog. Funny.

Shorter than I was planning cause I HAD to get back for Heroes, but that's okay cause I felt crappy anyways... I guess not eating all day doesn't do much for energy in the evening. Who'd a thunk

Ericka, good picture. I liked your previous picture with the cool stockings. Your comment on ezra-blog was good too, thanks for saying something, I missed it the first time I read through that blog.

From Ericka on Sat, Nov 08, 2008 at 11:37:15

Thanks. Yeah, I have some relatives with that kind of mentality and I find that it's just negative and not fun to be around. I hope it didn't come off as bratty, cause that wasn't my intention.

From jona on Sat, Nov 08, 2008 at 14:36:03

You were fine on the comment. It is not good for anyone to have that kind of mentality. Push people to be better, everyone comes out ahead!

Keep up your hard work. :)

re: the whole fat-people-sucking thing. Well, honestly I'd take that comment off or at least amend it at this point if I could figure out how to edit that part of my profile! People in America are actually socializing each other to get fatter, and they especially don't tolerate skinny people. Even "normal weight" people don't tolerate healthfully slim people, but try to socialize them into gaining weight. I'm not saying that fat people are inherently worse people than other people, just that being fat and tolerating it, and not doing anything about it, and not encouraging one's overweight friends (to do what they should for their own health and society as well, since fatness is a social disease) is a psychiatric disease of it's own, that's all.

From Ericka on Sun, Nov 09, 2008 at 01:36:07

I understand your point of view and I agree that you should encourage friends and family to get out and move around, especially young kids, even if they're not overweight. It's unfortunate that the majority of our society lives a sedentary lifestyle. For me, being active is something that keeps me sain. I wasn't trying to attack you. I guess the way it was put just left a sour taste in my mouth.

I guess my legs didn't appreciate what I did to them yesterday. They feel like I ran a race that I wasn't ready for... the kind of sore where you walk down stairs a little funky. I didn't even do a whole lot, kinda a pansy I feel. I did some yoga to try to loosen up a little and called it good.

Ran to the gym and saw Heather walking on the outside track. Chatted with her for a 1/2 mile then lifted upper and ran home. The hill on the way there wore me out but going down on the way back was super duper.

Running MilesSwimming YardsBike Miles

My lungs aren't used to waking up so early so it was a different experience, and by different I mean harder. It was either that or the amount of m&m's I've eaten in the past couple days. That's my theory.

Went to the gym and some girl I barely know totally followed me around the whole time. I was a little embarrassed for her but I let her do it anyways. Started on the treadmill and about died so I moved to the elliptical. Jos tried the same treadmill and had the same problem. We saw then that it was stuck at an incline so I didn't feel like as big of a woos
