It was ridiculous. I know nothing about TVs. Except that they’re complicated these days and if you want HD you have to by a special HD cord. Or something. And only if your cable package includes it. I had to commiserate with the salesman at Target about how I’m still used to the old tube TVs. What am I, like 80???

How I did it: Okay, so it was only two movies, but it was themed, so that's all that matters. Only they didn't have the movies we were looking for at Blockbuster. We even asked them at the counter to look them up for us. It went sort of like this: "Do you have The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert?" "Ummm... Let me look. Um... Priscilla, how do you spell that? No, we don't have that." "Darn. How about Kinky Boots?" "Ummm, heh... … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I'm a Navy Brat, so I've moved around a lot and been to several zoos. The San Diego Zoo and San Diego Wild Animal Park were the BEST ever. We had annual passes--this place was like Disney! If you ever get the chance to go, do it, they really put other zoos to shame! I'd also recommend the zoo in Regents Park, London. Those are very happy animals. (: Read how I did it…
How I did it: I ran a 5K that was part of a Half Marathon event, so naturally they had a lot of activities there as well. They had a massage therapy school, so I got a massage after my run and it felt so good!!! Read how I did it…

Well, I mean I lived on my own in college, but I feel this is different. Even though, yes, my rent is being completely subsidized by the Bank of Dad (thank youuuuu), I have moved out of my parents house. Yay. To a different state. Yay, VA! I’ve missed you so!
I just finished Week 1 of my Hal Higdon training program, and I feel great! He does such a great job of laying out cross training and strength days. I’ve been doing some yoga and also a Self Magazine total body workout for those days. Looking forward to Week 2!
