5 Reasons you know your run was too hard

#1-You started your run after 7 am which means the humidity has started to grab hold of you

#2-You have not been training on hills and then decided to stretch your long run out by an extra mile to 9 instead of 8

#3-Your dry fit shirt is so wet by the end of the run that you can ring it out

#4-You make the brilliant decision of eating a huge burger, fries, 2 pieces of b-day cake at Red Robin the night before

and #5-You drink 16 oz of G2 and a whole bottle of water when you get home and you still have lost 4 lbs of water weight

For all the Froo Froo's

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

I went and saw this movie at the Drive-In in Henderson last week. 5 dollars for 2 movies. It was a lot of fun. Cheap food and drink. Ashley and I probably spent 20 dollars for two large popcorn, 2 drinks, and a candy. Anyway, on to the movie. I have read all of the books (twice) and I had higher hopes for this movie because I felt that the Harry Potter series was getting better with each movie. I thought this movie was pretty terrible. I was definitely disappointed. I know they can't put everything in the book in the movie but they even added scenes that made no sense at all. I still can't figure out why they did that.

The Harry Potter series has garnered only 6 nominations through the first 5 movies. "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" (#2) and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" (#5) did not receive any nominations. "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" (#4) was nominated for art direction (losing to "Memoirs of a Geisha"). "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" (#3) was nominated for for music score (losing to "Finding Neverland") and visual effects (losing to "Spider-Man 2"). I don't expect this to break into any of the major categories either. I would not see it again and I'd give it a 1.5 out of 5.

Facebook Status #1

I'm beginning a new series of Facebook Status' that I feel show the hilarity of people.

This is actually a comment.

Friend 1- Lord I thank you 4 my new job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of her friend's comments-Wish icud say da same


As I read this I was wondering if the reason she didn't have a new job was because she only spelled 2 words correctly in a sentence that does not even make sense.

Holyfield's house forclosed

Evander Holyfield's house was foreclosed. As you look at this house, can you think of any reason that you need a house that has 109 rooms and 104 acres. Athletes are so stupid with their money.

One Week Down

I've officially trained for a week. I've ran for 6 of the last 8 days and lifted weights in 4 of those days. This is only a week but I'm pretty encouraged. I've found out that I really like morning runs/workouts. I'm officially now at my lowest weight since probably 7th or 8th grade and am really encouraged to keep going and keep breaking personal records. On Saturday, we are going to the beach and that will be tough because my grandparents have food and alcohol all over the house and its going to be tough to moderate. I have tried running on the beach before and it was a disaster but I think I will try again. I'm in much better shape that last time seeing that I've been running on and off for at least 1-2 months. Anyway, I'm hoping that when I read my blog in a week or 2 when I'm ready to quit the 5 day a week workout binge that I can become encouraged by posts like this and continue working out.
