Last Chance Half Marathon!
Ok so I guess this post is a little over due considering I ran my half marathon in November..but it's still worth talking about!
In the summer I was looking to do a run that would challenge me. I figured a half marathon is not too short, but long enough to run. I wanted to do the Harvest Half Marathon in September but it sold out in a couple of days. I figured I wouldn't be able to run any half marathons until the spring..but then I saw an ad for the Last Chance Half that would take place in November. I signed up right away.
I trained the best I could. It was a bit of a short notice but I figured I would be ok. On the day of the race I woke up and drank a lot of water, had some toast and ate a banana. I went to Eau Claire market with my friend Stephanie, who was also running the race with me. They told us that there was an early start time for people who might be a bit slower, so we figured we would do that, considering we've never ran a half before.
There was only 30ish people who decided to start early, so there was lots of room to run. The timer went off and away we went! I felt nervous to begin with, but once I started running it felt like just another ordinary day of running. I kept a good pace for the first 10 km's, I would say I ran faster than I normally do, only because my adrenaline was kicking in. At about the 14km mark I started to slow down, and for the first time I started to walk. I also got a killer cramp in my calf as well, thankfully it slowly went away after I continued to run. Once I started to walk, I found myself stopping to walk more and more. I only had 6km left to run but it seemed like forever. I tried to tell myself I run 6km all the time..it was nothing! But my legs were exhausted. I walked/ ran the rest of the way until I saw a crowd of people at the finish line. Of course I ran as fast as I could! When I crossed, the timer said 1:50 but then I had to take into account the 30 min head start I had..so my actual time was 2:20- not bad for my first half marathon!
Needless to say it was an amazing experience. I'm looking forward to running the Scotia Bank Half Marathon in May!

iPhone 4s !!!
For a few months now I've been looking for a new phone to purchase. My contract had been up for several months and I was using a pink blackberry 8530. I've had a blackberry for a few years but SO many people have switched over to the iPhone- I figured I'd take a look into it.
After waiting for the new iPhone 4s to come out, I decided to switch over...and I'm so happy I did! I bought it primarily for it's speed and camera, which are both impressive, but the phone itself is so handy and easy to use!
I decided to buy the white one, and of course a pink case ;) but if anyone is considering getting a new phone I would highly recommend an iPhone!

New Music!
I'm sure many of you have heard of Florence and The Machine- and if you haven't- you've probably heard their smash hit Dog Days Are Over. They just came out with a new single which I absolutely love- Shake It Out. The song is a slower melody, but the chorus has a kick to it. Watch the video below!
What do you guys think??

Hiking Ha Ling Peak
So last weekend a friend and I headed up to the mountains to go for a hike. We ended doing Ha Ling Peak which is in Canmore. For anyone that's a beginner at hiking but wants an awesome view, this is a great start!
Anyways, we were about 3/4 of the way up when it started to rain and became very windy- so we decided to head back down. When were on the way down, the rain cleared up and was sunny soo we were pretty bummed we didnt make it to the top!
This weekend we decided to give it another go. When we got there it was cold and raining but once we got into the forrest it wasn't so bad. Once we were closer to the top and out of the trees it became much more rainy, and because we were much higher, it was a lot colder and windy! We still decided to trek on though. It was miserable out, we were soaking wet and freezing, but we still made it to the top! This is my 3rd time up Ha Ling but this hike was the most interesting by far!
To the left is Ha Ling- and on a nice day! I'm on the right- and it doesn't look like it, but my jacket was soaked and my hair was completely wet, and it was hailing when the picture was taken lol!

Barbie and Ken's wedding photos!
This morning I was searching for some pictures on the net and stumbled across these beautiful photos of Barbie and Ken's wedding! These pictures are so well done and life-like, they could definitely pass for real pictures. There were quite a few pictures taken so I added just a few that I loved below!
Aren't they so well done!? Love it.

The reality of things
Do you ever find yourself in this situation? Ok well maybe he's not play video games, but doing something equally time consuming? It's so true, yet so annoying.

I have an addiction...
This summer has by far been the worst for my addiction- I found myself craving it everyday! The addiction? Peas.
Overall I have spent around $300.00 this summer on peas. Isn't that crazy!? 300 bucks on one vegetable item lol. But to be honest, money isn't an issue when it comes to my delicious green pods of delight. To the right is probably 1/4 of what I have actually eaten......
But it's a good addiction to have right??
L-xx
haha soo you're probably thinking it's really weird that I'm addicted to peas, but I am!! When I was younger living in Ontario, the peas were amazing. Since the weather is nicer out east, peas were always in abundance. When I came to Calgary I noticed that it was almost impossible to find them- how devastating.
This summer I noticed that for the first time in 11 years, peas were being sold at Coop...hazaa! Also, I found a u-pick farm out in Cochrane that also sold peas :)
But it's a good addiction to have right??

All around the world...
I think it's really cool to see how many people from around the world actually look at my blog. Obviously majority of my viewers are Canadian, and second would be the US- so North America in general.
That's one of the reasons why blogspot is so cool, because on my personal profile, it shows me where in the world people have looked at my blog- cool huh?
Anyways, here's the list of countries which have taken a gander at my site:
Canada, United States, Malaysia, Greece, Germany, Russia, Australia, Chile, United Kingdom, Peru, South Korea, Mexico, Argentina, Lebanon, Guatemala, Spain, Brunei, Sweden, Philippines, Serbia, Italy, Thailand, India, Indonesia, China, Brazil, Chile, New Zealand and Poland
New places are always being added to the list..but it's still interesting to see all the different countries of the world looking at my wee little blog :)

New Music!
Does anyone remember Cher Lloyd from Xfactor?? Anyways, she didn't end up winning on the show but she has been signed to a record label. Cher just recently came out with her new single Swagger Jagger and has also made a video. I noticed a lot of people on youtube were hating on her song- the lyrics are obviously not the best either.
I must say though, I cannot get this song out of my head! It's kind of grown on me and the beat is pretty catchy. Watch her video and listen to the song below!

A long awaited post!
So as you can see, it's been a while since I have posted anything new- since May to be exact! Things have been really hectic, and plus it's summer so I'd rather be outside enjoying the weather while it lasts!
Back in June I finished my last course that I needed to graduate, so I'm officially finished school :) well for now..
Once that was out of the way I decided that I wanted to get a job in the field. Having psychology experience would look great on my CV when I apply to grad school. I ended up getting a job doing Cognitive Therapy at a Neurorehab Centre. It's definitely different than what I'm used too, and there's a lot to learn- but I think it will give me the knowledge to advance my career.
Working alone has kept me pretty busy, and I also started a soccer team which has been a blast!
That's basically what I've been doing for the past 2 months lol- and I promise to update my blog more!
To end things off, here's a spiffy grad photo of me :D

The world is ending....Today.
I know I haven't posted anything for a while. I’ve been quite busy with things! But I figured I should probably post something before the world ends today.
I suppose this theory has been purposed by numerological methods- which dictates that judgement day will occur on May 21st, 2011. This conclusion has been created by two ideas:
(1) The first proof is based on Genesis 7:4, when God said to Noah: "Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made." When God referred to seven days, he meant both seven days and seven thousand years, because "one day is with the Lord as a thousand, and a thousand years as one day." The flood occurred in 4990 BC. Seven thousand years later is 2011.
(2) The second proof looks at the significance of the the number of days between the Crucifixion and May 21, 2011. There are 722,500 days between these dates. 7222,500 is a significant number because it is composed of the significant numbers 5x10x17x5x10x17. Five signifies redemption; ten signifies completion; and 17 signifies heaven. The numbers represent the day of redemption (5) and the end of the Christian era (10) and the ascent to heaven (17)-- and these factors are doubled for added significance.
O.K so here are my thoughts. Nothing will happen! lol. If you look at the history of judgment day dates, nothing of significance has ever occurred. So I'm pretty sure we will all live another day!
