All jokes aside, Shakeology seriously is amazing for your digestive system. Not only will it keep you regular, which believe it or not, is critical for optimal health, but it will help flush out and release those toxins that enter your body daily. Proper digestion can often be the one missing link in a seemingly healthy diet. So I truly mean it when I say that Shakeology is the ………

So 3 weeks ago I told you guys that I applied to be a Social Media Runner for the Cherry Blossom 10 miler. Well I was supposed to hear on Friday 11/8 and I got an email titled: “Social Runner Update: You aren’t out or in (I’ll cut to the chase :))”
Runners –
First, thank you SO MUCH for applying to be 2014 Social Runners. We had a shorter timeline than usual to review applications plus I was busy starting a new job during those 7 days for application review, and oh by the way we are planning next week’s kickoff.
All of that is to let you know that I’m really very sorry to not have a definite answer for you today – I hate having to let anyone down or drag this on any longer than necessary.
The good news, is that those of you receiving this email are on the “short list” and will be up for consideration for SR 2014 with the small SR committee. We’ll have an answer for you by Monday, November 11.
If you could please hold off on discussing the shortlist until after the SR’s are announced on Friday at Kickoff I’d greatly appreciate it. Afterward if you want to mention that you were shortlisted, please feel free to do so! We don’t want to ruin the surprise by narrowing down the pool of runners before the big reveal.
Because I know I’d be wondering: there are 10 of you in the running for the Virtual Training Runner and 10 in the running for In Person Runner (you selected which you’d be when you applied – we wouldn’t make you do one you didn’t sign up for). There’s not much that you can do campaign-wise this weekend to increase your odds, and most of you have been tweeting the race for a while so I already know a little about you – don’t worry about getting our attention, you already have it. (Obviously your usual CUCB love is still appreciated).
Finally: please know that if you aren’t this year’s SR I’m always looking out for ways to thank our friendly fans online! If opportunities come up for those “thank you’s” please know that you’re on my permanent mental shortlist 😀
Thanks again for your patience with the SR snag and your kindness to @CUCB online!
Last Monday evening I found out I didn’t get the Social Media Runner spot. The winners (local and virtual) were announced formally this past Friday at the Cherry Blossom Kick-Off Reception. I am for sure bummed, but still honored to have made it so far in the process. I love being so open here on tumblr with all of you, so opening my blog and other social media outlets publicly would have changed things drastically. With all that being said I’m now clear for Ragnar SoCal which is that same weekend.

Today is 6 years since I lost my Dad due to complications of gastric bypass surgery.
6 years is 1/5 of my life thus far.
There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t reach for my phone to call him. SO much has changed in my life and my world these past 6 years. I wish I could share my happiness, success and accomplishments with him. He was always my biggest cheerleader, now he’s my guardian angel.
I just went back to look over posts from this day since I’ve been on tumblr
And here are some posts from my throwback blogspot

i am actually looking for a long distance boyfriend so it wont interupt my gym schedule
Pictures from last night’s Faculty-Student Basketball Game
In the big group picture I stood next to 2 of the tallest guys and they were like want us to life you up? And I was like OKAY (but my inner fat girl was scared). So they lifted me up and I after a few pictures I was like sorry I’m so heavy and they were like PLEASE. I wish there were most strapping 20 year olds willing to carry me around because I felt like a tiny princess!
True Life I’m about to do T25 in my office before playing in a faculty vs student basketball game tonight
I have really enjoyed my first week of Shakeology. They give you tons of combo ideas for your shakes. I’m using the chocolate shake and today I tired OJ, water and the powder MMMMM. Knowing that I just need to throw a few easy things in the blender to make the shake has taken time off my morning routine.
I also got the t25 workouts that my friend wants to buy, but I’m doing a trial of for 2 weeks. I am actually REALLY loving the videos. It is hard work, but I enjoy it A LOT more than Insanity. Plus T25 offers modified options which help since I “create” some of my own modified options for Insanity which makes me worried about not working as hard or injuring myself.
Like I said last week, eating right and working out just makes me feel SO good. Smooching with my new beau also adds to the overall feel good mood 🙂
Since curious minds want to know and since when do I keep secrets from tumblr? I figure I’d fill you in…
I met Greg through OKC. I actually had been taking a break from online dating and was going to deactivate my OKC (I actually had bought a living social deal to try match for a month that I was going to activate), but the day after Ragnar I logged into OKC just to see what was in there before closing it down. Well Greg was in there. Just from his profile I saw we had a lot in common, which led to a few messages before we started talking on gchat.
We had such good back and forth on gchat and made plans to go to a Caps (NHL Hockey Game) on the 19th. I was nervous, but excited. He was nervous too, it’s cute looking back. But we clicked very quickly and following that first date I saw him Tues and Thurs that week. We’ve actually made playing trivia on Tuesdays a “thing.” The first week we came in 2nd to last and the second week we came in 2nd overall!
He was on a pre-planned vacation/cruise Nov 1-9th, but we e-mailed and I even got a phone call. Distance actually made the heart grow fonder (as CHEESY as that is and I swear being gooey and cheesy is NOT me).
Saturday he pretty much flew home dropped off his luggage and met me out that night for the alumni game watch party I was hosting. We spent the whole weekend together. Saturday night he officially asked me to be his girlfriend. We went out to some VA vineyards on Sunday for a beautiful autumn Sunday Funday and even brought the dog (who is a fan of Greg). We are playing trivia tonight and have plans to win – oh and our trivia team name is “Slap Bet” since we are both big How I Met Your Mother Fans!
PS – He lives like 3 miles away and the funniest part is that his parents like like a mile from me. We also have a few weird things in common (pertaining to our exes) – both, but more on that another time.
I am doing a 2 weeks trial of the T25 workout. I started yesterday and I REALLY liked it. We’ll see how things progress, but so far I may have to buy myself a copy!
