i shouldn't make promises...

I can't keep...



I promised I would blog everyday last week and it just didn't happen. I will give you a little background. First of all, it was the final week of my internship, so it has been SO crazy at work, thinking about every little thing I need to get done... BUT.. it has all been worth it because I GOT THE JOB! :) They hired me on to start full time after I graduate in December.



BUT ALSO,



I also started two new classes so it has been rough managing all my time. BUT I need to start thinking about how much I love this little blog and how much better it makes me feel every time I write on it or get to read other incredible blogs!



So... I thought I would share a little bit about what has been going on with me... Besides my internship...




I also just started two new incredible hobbies/sports.



First off: I started taking a "Learn to Row Crew" Class about 2 weeks ago. It is a class where we learn the basics of rowing, both sculling and sweep rowing and get to go out on the water at 5:45 2 times a week and just let all our worries flow away and just focus on the sport. It is an amazing work out both physically and mentally. It is the ULTIMATE team sport. You cannot be a successful rower... unless you are in a single boat... without team work. If one person is throwing the boat off balance you will never meet your destination and maybe might even flip over into the water. It has been an AMAZING experience. It is also nice to get a feel for what my little sister, Katie of Currently Obsessed With, does on a daily basis at school. She is the Coxswain for the Santa Clara University mens rowing team. And after these two weeks, I have an even greater respect for her sport and all the effort and brain power that goes into it.


And Second, Erik and I also started a marathon training course, where we meet every Saturday to do a group run and throughout the week we do smaller workouts to prepare.


So all in all, I am so tired!

But... I am back to blogger. :)

Happy Saturday everyone!

Running

I used to run, exercise, try to stay healthy.
And then I started getting lazy and as many people know. Once you stop exercising for a while, it is really hard to start again. Also, I am the type of person who psychs myself out instead of just working out. I always think about how cold it is and about how last time I felt short of breath.. So. I got a Nike plus to count my miles to help me feel motivated by actually knowing how much I get done. And I signed up for dailymile, where you can talk with others about your workouts, or even just see that other people are doing it. So can I! 


So here goes. Starting tomorrow I will do exercise besides yoga.
I will go running.. and I put a mile counter on my blog, so I am embarass myself into working out more.. I mean, you guys would judge me if I quit.. right? :)


Wish me luck! 
Is anyone else starting new exercise plans?
