So Much Good News

By Colleen @colleenalicia · On February 1, 2011

Good news: I finally accomplished my goal of running five times in one week! I’m guessing the last time I did that was freshman year of college when I was running cross-country. Of course, as I had promised myself that each run need be only a minimum of one mile, despite getting in five runs, it only amounted to 12.5 miles. Last year I ran 25 miles in the first week of January, in four runs. Last year I also got hurt a lot though, so we’re not following that model again. I also updated my blog 14 times last January, as opposed to this January’s 3. Oops. I know for a fact that this is making at least one person upset, so I’ll work on this.

More good news: I now belong to 3 gyms! I hope you’re feeling adequately jealous right now and not at all thinking that this is completely stupid/unnecessary/a waste of money. The most explanation I’m willing to offer is that I am now officially a member of Spinach gym, which I think will really expedite the Ultimate Hard Body process.

Even MORE good news: This should probably have been the first good news, because as a reader, you will probably appreciate this one the most. You know how you’re constantly checking my blog for updates from different places and telling lots of other people about my blog, but it’s stupidly hard to remember my url? The Read It and Weep boys have fixed this problem by generously donating a new domain name to me! You now have to only remember ultimatehardbody.net in order to get to my blog! This is pretty easy since you’re probably thinking about Ultimate Hard Body(s) all the time anyway, now you just have to remember to go to net and not com. You’re welcome.

Never-ending good news: I was trying to decide if I want to do another timed mile this month, or wait and do it every two months, but Fit Right NW decided for me! I got their February news letter today and it told me about a mile race happening this Sunday! It’s called Be the Change Mile, but I don’t really planning on changing things, just running. Feel free to predict my time, but there will be no prize that I take three months (estimated) to deliver this time.

Ridiculous amounts of good news: My friend Brent finally got reunited with his dog, Darwin, and he and Pascal got together for a day of Ultimate Cute Doggies.

I must confess, I started running at a very early age. Sadly, my runs were unblogumented until around age 23, so you'll have to use your imagination for all the runs I went on before that. Running has always been my go-to sport, but sadly, I spend a good amount of my time with chronic injuries. I have learned to entertain myself athletically with other pursuits such as kettlebell, yoga, and bikini competitions, when I can't run. In addition to my unique talent for working out and then blogging about it, I am an amateur puppy stylist and photographer, television enthusiast, and I'm usually CPR/AED certified, but I would still prefer if you didn't pass out when we're together.

    About Me

    I’m Colleen. I started this blog when I was 23 years old and training for my first marathon. I was single, semi-employed, generally directionless in life, and had a lot of free time on my hands. I have a lot less free time now, but I still love to come here and dump my rambling, unedited thoughts after a workout or race once in a while.
