>Hey heyy,
How was your THIRSTY THURSDAY!!! haha, at least we used to call it that in undergrad. Ahhhh I feel soooo old! I guess as long as I’m working on my PhD, I can still call myself a STUDENT, right? Makes me feel better…a liiiittle.. 🙂
I don’t have a ton of pictures to post today because I’ve been spending much of my time here:
^Scienceland aka Experimentland, lab, labski, Sciencetown….
Last night I cooked a perdy good dinner for me my sistah.
[Insert un-pictured salad monster]
Salmon:
^TJ’s Southwestern salmon, cooked on the stove top. I looove my salmon a little undercooked. Tastes less fishy to me.
Wednesday was my REST DAY for the week. These BodyPump classes have been kicking my arse! (In addition to the impromptu kickboxing class I took on Tues). I woke this morning refreshed and ready for a new day, new set of experiments, and new workout. For a workout I did:
BodyPump + 2 mile run = sooooore legs
Some importante WEEKEND NEWS in my wold:
1) Mamadukes is visiting!
2) The Manfriend and I are running a 5K (can’t wait to give details! Hint: costumes and MUD)
3) Mamadukes and I are running a HALF MARATHON on Sunday! How cool is it that she started running at FIFTY and now does half marathons with me??
