So, I definitely have been slacking on the blogging thing. I have been MARVELLOUS on the vlogging thing though! (check out my vlog channel jonesee90vlogs..im vlogging my p90x journey day by day!)
So I am going to make an effort to do what I can with this blog. I need to remember that I do not ALWAYS have to blog with photos..that is why I haven't put much up. Haven't really touched my purdy nikon since I took my P90x before photos.
Anyway, so what is up with me? Since I last posted I have run my second marathon (BMO Vancouver Marathon) and PBed (personal bested) my half marathon time at the Oak Bay half marathon!
The BMO Vancouver marathon was interesting to say the least. I let my ego get the best of me it seemed. I started the race off far to quick and started to die off soon after the half. I was in so much pain from the half way point to the finish, but I did finish. I did end up beating my last time by 2 and a half minutes but definitely hoped to blow my time out of the water. I am registered for the Seattle Rock and Roll marathon June 25, so hopefully I will listen to myself for this one. I won't be running to beat my time as I do not know how the course will be, but I want to just enjoy the run itself. I have been wanting to run this series for a long time and now is my chance! Either way I finished the Marathon at 4:20:57
As for the Oak Bay Half marathon, I beat my time by about 3 and a half minutes. I came in at 1:55:28 with great help by my friend Kirsty. She was my pace booty. We got some less then desirable weather but we trucked through it hard. I woke up that day feeling totally focused and ready to rock. Had a great sleep, lots of coffee and great breakfast. I had that half on my mind all week. Originally I had planned just to break the 2 hour mark, I was not confident on how it would go. (think my ego got knocked from the Marathon 2 weeks before) All in all, I am more then happy with my time and it seems I may or may not be suckered into registering for the Fort Rod Hill Half Marathon in 3 weeks. (I really do not want to as it is a PAIN IN THE BUTT course.. Basically all uphill...and not nice rolling hills either!)
As for the time being, I am in the process of nailing out those real long runs again. The marathon is just around the corner, I must be ready. Also, I am taking summer school. I only have a week left too! Its an elective called....steady yourselves...because I am so serious..."history of the vampire!" It is actually very entertaining and we do a lot of film analysis. I watched my first full silent film and it was...interesting. Also, I am leading a meeting tomorrow. I always get so nervous about meetings but I have a feeling this one will be good. I am still such a big newbie!
Today, C got the news that he is posted to a new ship and will most likely be deployed for a long time. (possibly 7 months). It sucks and I will miss him more then anything, but I understand it is part of being in the military. I will keep myself busy with running and making parcels to send out to him while he is gone. Also, its kind of good I am keeping track of my life on blogs and vlogs. He can still get his dose of me once in a while when he does have internet :P.
Well, I think that was a fair update on how my life is going. I will come back to blogging even if there are no photos. I am sorry everyone! I am just a big silly poopoo head..
CIAO! <3
