insomnia

Its already 1:35am and I am WIDE awake!

Iono if its just me being excited for school tomorrow..or my Iced Venti Coffee this afternoon.

I am still listening to Michael Buble' (Wonderful Tonight).

I guess I could blog about my Makeup Forever HD Invisible Foundation.

I am currently using #155 or #151..i forgot exactly which one.

But anyways, it works well with my skin tone and skin type.

Pros:

• It truly leaves a smooth, soft and flawless finish. I apply it on my face using my fingers, rather than using a brush or a sponge because using my hands help me work around my face easier and plus the warmth from my fingers gives the liquid a better texture while applying (although using sponge is more hygienic).

• The have a lot more shades that can match any ones skin tone than most foundations.
• Gives enough coverage (medium-full) that can last all night when you're all sweaty from the club.
• Plus it gives a dewey and fresh look during the day.

Cons:

• 1 oz. bottle is about $40
• can sometimes make me feel oily
• pumps out too much when i only need a dime to pea size amt.

Overall, the foundation works nice and I enjoy using MUFE and Chanel Tiente Fluide liquid foundation.

Right now since its winter and i have oily skin..my face is more prone to breakouts because the atmosphere is a lot more dry vs the summer, I been giving my face a lil break from any foundation unless I am going out somewhere nice.

Night night folks..i am going to attempt to fall asleep.

Michael Buble'

Im in love with Michael Buble'.

Currently listening to:

If I can have him sing @ my wedding, that would be awesome (either him or Sade).

-Crazy Love and Home are also a few of my faves.

I cant wait to start class tomorrow. Whooo Hoo!! (Im not being sarcastic either)

Im taking a few interesting courses this Semester.

• cancer bio
• cell physio
• micro
• plant civilizations (im not too sure about this one..botany has never amused me)

Runs for 2010

One of my New Years Resolutions were to run at least 3 big races this year since i did 2 last year

(1 half and 1 full).

Each year I want to go somewhere different...hoping to qualify for BOSTON somewhere in this lifetime:)

Runs of 2010 I plan to finish:

1) Rock and Roll San Diego: 1/2 marathon or a 4-legged relay (June 6 2010)

This marathon donates all proceeds to the Leukemia and Lymphoma society..so i am very excited about that.

Plus I hear R&R runs are so much funn and this one has a really nice course, running near the coast.

So i am looking forward for this one.

2) Disneyland Half Marathon (Sep 5, 2o1o)

Neal ran this one with his cousins last year and he said he had a blast. So I plan for this one for sure this year!

3) CIM #2: (December 5, 2010)

Im starting a personal tradition for myself and that is to run this race every year.

I enjoyed completing my first marathon all by myself last year and I think it was the BEST way to end 2009 for me.

So giving myself all year to train for this, would be a great way to stay in shape all year long.

So with all these planned races....of course means TRAINING!

In which I ha vent been consistent with lately after CIM.

So starting next week I want to at least do 6 miles/wk for a total of 24miles/month.

My legs have been itching for the trails..unfortunately the weather has been soooo ugly that ive been settling on the treadmill which is super boring.

My watch is gettin a lil rusty and my dri-fit shirts are waiting to soak some sweat. So I hope weather will get better soon.

On a different note. Glenny and I went to Costco today and grabbed this:

Yummy breakfast smoothies..all you do is add 1 cup of juice/soy milk to this bag of frozen fruits and yogurt...we'll throw in some protein to help our workouts.

Eclipse

Currently Reading:


Its only been 2 YEARSsince I started reading the Twilight Series. Its about time I finish!!! I must finish before school starts.

CIM

So I havent been blogging for quite some time.

The semester has been crazy busy and training for CIM has been also.

Although, I havent been training enough in the past 2 months and the race is in 4DAYS!!!!!! should I be freaking out right now?

All these emotions, nervous, scared..excited and thrilled for my very 1st FULL marathon race. All the hard work, long-runs and sweat is finally coming together this sunday. I dont really care any more when I finish.. I just need to finish under 6hrs. Even if they have to roll me in a wheel-chair to the finishline..thats okay with me.

Finishing this race will be such a huge accomplishment for me..because it is something I personally worked hard for all by myself.

I'll blog a full summary after my race..on details how CIM went.

Let the mind run the body..not the body run the mind..

"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

- George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian

I'm such an amateur right now in running compared to the runners out there. I know I shouldn't be hard on myself because I have never played a sport in High School or when I was younger, never been in any shape to be athletic and never ran a MARATHON in my life...so I shouldn't put myself down because everyone has their own pace. But it sucks to hear that folks I know can run a 5mile run in an hour with out stopping for water or to stretch. 

Yesterday, I got 3.4 miles done in 1 hr and 15 mins thats with walking/jogging.

Today, I got 4 miles in 46 minutes(walk/jogg/run).(About 11mins/1miles) So I'm improving in small increments..baby steps ash...baby steps. But it's so hard for me to run straight without stopping for air and water bec i feel like im going to crash bec i feel so light headed and my calves start to burn a little.

I just realized that you really have to tell yourself that you have the will power to get it and you will just do fine. There is no competition here with anyone except with myself. I swear your mind can sometimes be your worst enemy.

Lets hope for a better run tomorrow...the day after tomorrow..and for the rest of this training.
