Why, hello there!! I know it’s been awhile since my last post, but I have been super extremely busy!! Here’s what I’ve been doing:
- Completed a 30 day yoga challenge in November
My sanctuary |
o The first time was a cold.
Meet the Norwalk virus. Those little suckers invaded my gastric track for a week! |
o The second time, the Norwalk virus. If you don’t know what that is, it’s severe diarrhea/vomiting for a few days. I barely ate or drank in 5 days and yet, I was always running to the washroom. I called home one morning, at 4:30am Alberta time (7:30am NB time), crying to my mom: “Mom, what’s wrong with me??”
- Went home for Christmas to spend time with my family and friends.
I've found it was just easier to invest into two yoga mats. I sweat like a there's no tomorrow so I need to wait a day before my mat to dry out!! |
- In the process of completing my second 30 day yoga challenge, which I am extending to a 60 day yoga challenge.
o I go 5-6 times a week anyways when I’m not doing a challenge, so it’s not like it’s a dramatic change in my lifestyle.
- Trained for my first ever (but not last) half-marathon that’s coming up on February 9th.
o My running group actually did 21.7k (a half is 21.1k) on Sunday at a slow pace. It took us 2h22min at a slow pace so my goal of completing my half on race day in less than 2h20min is completely plausible!!
Feb 9th, 2013. Watch out!! |
- Tutored 2 students in math
o One in 11th grade, she ACED her final exam. I’m so proud of her!!!
Made the mistake of showing him this. I now have to specify "Find the NUMERICAL value of x." EVERY SINGLE TIME. |
o One 9th grader, who is an on-going student since the course is yearlong. He also likes to sass me, little bugger!!
- Doing kickboxing twice a week.
o One of the instructors told me to join the intermediate class…I laughed.
Cuz I'd totally win if I someone would sneak up on me in a back alley. NOT. |
I may sound a little crazy, but those who know me know that I only function when I am a busy bee. And by joining a yoga studio, a kickboxing gym and a running group, I’ve been able to meet a lot of incredible new people in this new city!
