268th-alia

My boyfriend is a TRUE artist!

I seriously can't believe that this actually is coming together sooooooo amazingly! Ok, so now you know, this wood project is obviously, Loren's first surfboard project. but from the mess on our porch you'd think we were building a second level. ( I wish) but no, really... isn't this amazing?
More info later yo!
BTW, all credit of this post goes to Loren himself...even the photo (minus my lame talk)

Training: 
3.2 mi

270th-wood

Loren's craft:

I think sometimes I get a little old always blogging about me me me!
So there's been a twist (for a few days, don't worry, I'll get back to my amazing life soon =])

So... I haven't even old what the project is yet... but I think I like keeping it a small secret for a while.. until then I can bring you through what he's be doing.

Today and yesterday, he bought some wood. and he took three hours to buy that wood. and he also spen a few hundred $$ to buy that wood (and a few tools as well.)

Boy, don't you just love looking at that wood =]
Oh, and I'm also working on this:

Yes I'm painting/crafting again!! I went through sort of a dry spell for a few weeks there, but I'm back!
this painting is not done yet, but soon =]

(I guess I can't stop talking about myself...sorry =/)

Training:
6.8 mi

running was fun/killer today
went halfway to the shipwreck today. it was hot, hard, and I sweated a ton!!
definitely resorted to licking salt afterward. lol

what projects are you working on??

271st-craft-ish

I'm not going to say a word.

272nd- a dedication

I really wanted to dedicate this post to my sister Marie that means a great deal to me. She has been going through a rough time and I just wanted to let her know that I am here for her and pray for her every day.

I love you!





also...
I just got news that my childhood dog Woody was put down this week because of a tumor he had. He meant a lot to me and it brings me tears just thinking of his death, but I'd rather think of his life. Although he wasn't the brightest, he was very loyal. And that is something I always like to see in a friend. I missed the last ten years of his life because of moving to different states and countries, but I never forgot him

273rd-pink shoes

First pink Adidas shoe run:

It was amazing. I felt like I had a whole new pair of running legs. This was not like any old day that I felt maybe faster, stronger, or just all around better/more inspired while running. No, this was something completely different, and I blame it a\on the shoes. They made the difference, and in this case, it was the difference that counter. I will never go back to an over-used non-running shoe ever. There is NOTHING comparable to how I felt today and I am never going back!
Granted it was still a hard run. my legs hurt, and I am sitting here tyiping this drenched in sweat (no I haven't taken a showere yet) but these shoes (on there own) improved my running. Now, I can't wait to see what an actual pair of fitted ones will do (once I understand shoes more).

After the run I did my salt ritual. and boy, it was funn?

Yeah, it was actually really hard. But boy did I feel revitalized =]

 And then... I had WATER and a peanut butter Cookie.

Oh, and then some real breakfast duh (but I'm a boring Bfast eater, so no pictures)

Thanks for listening!

How do you make sure you drink enough water throughout the day?

274th-photo

yesterday again:

I took these shoes out for a spin yesterday trying to work them in WHILE I took photos of pigeons squirrels and backlit sea lions. I do have intensions for this.

I'm not sure if you guys understood, but I am now the volunteer photographer at SOS and for that, I have a pretty hefty list of needs and wants from them. One is an awareness photo of a sea animal in entanglement. They only have one that they really use and it's of an otter trying to save her baby from a plastic bag. (true and heart wrenching story) The thing is, this photo is used all over the world and they don't even have the rights for it. So, if this semester I can beat that photograph (an I don't even know that I want to) I need to know how to take photos of wild life eek. So not me, but it's a challenge. And I like that. 

Sooo, with that I'd like to leave all you with a vote. 

Which pigeon shot do you like best?

oh, and please, constructive criticism would save me from embarrassment in the future. What can I do better?

I know that next time, I wont leave the house without my telephoto, and I'm considering a tripod. 

All these shots where cropped to the bone and are way out of focus. no bueno.

now it's your turn. =]
