Rainy Dayz

Didn't fall asleep until 5:30...the roommates decided to start snoring simultaneously 
SO, I slept through my first class, then skipped my last two.

The rain came in today. But I wouldn't have called it rain. It was more of a powerful mist that smothered everything. 
Ran 4.1 miles again, to Ocean Beach. 





Then I worked. 4 hours felt like 40
And it's even more unpleasant when you know your outfit was ugly af.

Wedgies for the Masses

Nike Training App kicked my ass today. 
I worked out with the Get Strong Beginner Stress Slammer 45 minute workout.

First off, I wore a bathing suit under my workout clothes because there was a plan to swim some laps afterwards.
I had a MASSIVE wedgie throughout the whole damn thing. 
THEN I got kicked out of the fitness room because a class was scheduled which meant the last 43 minutes of my workout was done in the hallway. All 43 minutes for the Boxers and the Judo people and the "oh fuck me I'm a shvisty mess don't look at me hot men" to see. 
Finally the time was up and all I wanted was to curl in the fetal position and stare into the depths of my disgustingly green Yoga mat. 
HOWEVER some how I had to reach upstairs in order to swim. Took me a good 15 minutes to walk 2 flights of stairs. My thoughts then were, "hell no swimming is not happening my butt cheeks will cramp and I will die." (That and the Caf closed in 30 minutes and sure as hell was not going to miss dinner.)
So no. I did not need to wear the bathing suit. 

I thank you, NTC, for pushing me. For believing in me. For making it count.
I am sore and my butt cheeks hurt, and I don't know if I will physically be able to get up in the morning.

But knowing that- feels so good. 
    
 Sautéed Green Beans and Grilled Tilapia
Grapefruit: My new obsession. 

 Eating on campus is most definitely a challenge. 
There is an abundance of unhealthy food that stares at you, calling you, seeping through that healthy filter in your brain and into your soul. 
Then there is an abundance of healthy shit that tastes like shit and usually makes you shit. 
But I'll save this rant for another post when I'm feeling a bit more heated and can bring "granolas" into conversation. 

Breakfast: Starbucks non-fat Chai Latte // Bagel and Cream Cheese
Lunch: String Cheese // Wheat thins // Sliced Turkey // Cuties
Snack: Honey and Oates Granola Bar
Dinner: Above
Dessert: Zico Chocolate Coconut Water

To the Betch

Alrighty, Gettin down to business. 
Yesterday marked the 4th week of training for my half marathon!
I had been off for 5 days for a few wisdom teeth extractions. (Fabulous Spring Break, I know.)

Ran 4.1 Miles to Ocean Beach 

While out on "bed rest" I did some shopping at the Nike Outlet
..........luvunike

Pardon my oh so precious mirror pics. 
I live in a dorm. 
With no friends to take pictures. 
So it's just me and my phone. 
And a floor length mirror at the end of the hall. 
It's amazing how you begin your run in the city, and end up on the coast of the Pacific. 
It just feels so liberating. 
I never want to go back.

$pr!ng Br3@k

ITS FINALLY SPRING BREAK. 
I celebrated Friday with my good friend Weston on Haight. 
Treatin' myself with a step off campus, and good company, in SF. 



We went to our favorite cafe on Haight for chai's. The Blue Front Cafe has the best White Chocolate Chai's - EVAR
Literally, orgasm in my mouth. 
We also stopped at the Booksmith. It's a precious little bookstore with subjects on EVERYTHING you could imagine. Classic novels-check. Fashion-check. Music-check. Ryan Gosling guide to feminism-Check. Penis Puppets- Check. 

Stay classy.

ALONE AT LAST

It's spring break and I'm the last one left in the dorm......which means I can basically do whatever the fuck I want (,:
Jamming to Katy Perry and Ke$ha with not a soul to judge.
Going bra less - literally embracing the freedom.
And I vacuumed.







EMBRACING IT

Here's to starting fresh. 2 years late.

I am rebirthing my blog to achieve a few things. 
1. To document my life, from LA > SF 
2. To tell you a little about college life, when things don't turn out the way they are "supposed" to. (aka I don't have friends and I'm not in a sorority help)
3. To write, I guess........................
4. To track my workouts and runs and the act of keeping in shape.
4. To share my inspirations, aspirations, goals, dreams, and Nutella fantasies with well, myself. (Because really, who is reading this?)

and last but not least
5. To sass and bitch when sassing and bitching is necessary. aka all the time.  

Catching you up to speed:
In San Francisco - Loving it. 
In college  - Hating it. 
Working in retail - Anxiety filled. 
Running a lot - cuz thats what I like
Over thinking everything - cuz well, duh.

Welcome to my colorful world of black, where Nike is heaven and Kelly Cutrone is the based god. 
Just do it.
