The jewelry thing is rolling. It is slowly but surely building steam. I've got several shows lined up and a few commissions in the pipeline and I'm shipping out Etsy sales more regularly. I just ran a half marathon over the weekend and am looking for the next race so that I'll keep running. I think I might start transitioning to trail running for ( Read more... )

I've been saying it since this time last year, but I'm actually about to start P90X. As in Monday morning ( Read more... )

I'm currently in Week 5 of 5k training... again. The surprising thing when I started back after 10 MONTHS OFF *kicks self* was that I hadn't lost too much of my stamina or distance. I mean, the first week was hard and I had lost about a half mile, but I was still able to run 2 miles without stopping and without feeling the need to hurl after. I' ( Read more... )
