Hey everyone!

Thanks for the encouragement!

I've been slacking on the updating because I've been swamped with school and derby.

The triathlon is tomorrow!

I'm so excited! This week of tapering has been killing me, I'm so bored!

Anyway! Hope to finish in under an hour (it's a sprint triathlon).

I've got a bit of a chest cold (on top of asthma) so I'm a bit concerned it might hamper my performance.

I will post results tomorrow!

Well heck yeah! Clothes are def fitting looser. I can see a difference and I'm super stoked.

It's so nice to be able to run without pain! I had a jogging class last semester when I was injured and the pain to run and even walk was excruciating. I'm so glad to be free of injury.

I made a great shake yesterday:

Sun Warrior Vanilla powder

1/2" scoop Herbalife chocolate soy powder

1 cup of vanilla coconut yogurt

1 banana

1 cup of pineapple

1 cup of black cherries

1/4 cup of almond milk

I also tried the pom-berry Vega electrolyte mix for the first time and it was wonderful!

*Drink plenty of water!

*eat lots of fruits and veggies

*inspire others to make better food choices and push harder when they exercise with me!

For my personal health class I have to write a paper about if I think I'm healthy and why.

3 weeks until our next games

a lil' under 4 weeks until the triathlon

My legs! Seeing that line of definition between my knee and my quad gets me super stoked. It's a sign of strength in my eyes.

Had to take a day off after seeing my chiropractor. His choice, not mine.

Headed into the 2nd week of triathlon training!

Swam100 yrd x5

3 hour derby practice tonight. I was a lil late so I only got in about 2.5 hours.

It felt great and I can see that I'm getting more toned and losing the weight I put on while I was injured. I can't wait for school to start on Tue so I can get back in the gym and lift weights!

Also: oatmeal + chia seeds = win!

1.8.12

Had roller derby practice yesterday. I'm a part of the training and skills committee and it was my turn to run practice. Sadly, that means I don't get the normal workout

I did play sock derby (roller derby off skates) for 40 min. Great cardio!

Here are a couple of photos from the movie shoot we did last week. Sporting my sweet "Vegan" Shorts!

Just wanted to share this anatomy of a hit photo

Kat Von D'stroya (red & gold) vs Dorian Slay (pink & blue)

1.7.11

Ran a 5k today, but it was more like 3.5 - 4 miles because we arrived a lil' late and the course wasn't labeled!

I also picked up some padded cycle shorts, a swim suit, goggles, and some dry fit socks for the triathlon!
