Good evening everyone! I hope you're doing magically <3 Today, I have measurements and progress photos for you! Yay! I am really excited! I have yet to make more progress on the Chamber of Secrets, but I am planning on finishing it this week! Things have just been super busy with work, teaching Barre class, workouts, and helping out with math homework! I should definitely have more time this week to get some reading done. Hopefully, I get get a groove going and maybe finish the Prisoner of Azkaban! We shall see. I am super happy and excited with my new tattoo!!! I am in love with it 😍! I was super nervous because of the colors, but I love how it came out. With every tattoo I get, I put a lot of thought into it and there is always meaning behind it. With this one, I wanted to express my nerdy side. I love anime. This is from the anime, Fairytail. It is definitely in my top anime (I can never name one single favorite, I love so many)!

Good afternoon everyone!!! It's been a year since I started my blog! It is also the end of week 12 of my training. That's so crazy! I have been training for this Marathon for about 3 months! I am just shy of halfway through. Time flies.

There is a lot that goes into Marathon Training that am learning about and continuing to discover and learn new things. Some, I wish I would have known about sooner to avoid, but that was then and this is now. I know for next time and now you will too. Learn from My Mistakes!!! Shoes I suggest before you embark on the Marathon train (any running train really) you get to a running store and talk to the associates to get the right shoes for you. They are so important and have such an impact. You want a bigger size if you are going those really long miles since your foot swells

Beginning of Marathon Specific Training (Yikes)!!!

Good evening you magical beauties! I am sorry for missing a post last week. The holiday weekend was just super busy, and I did not get a chance to write it up. I am here strong for my post this week! I am still journeying through Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (work and just life has been super busy and hectic so I haven't made much progress). I need to watch the third season of Stranger Things too!!! As well as catch up on the 100, the Flash, and Grey's Anatomy. One day I will set aside the whole day and just binge watch! Maybe next Sunday! Now that I have gotten into the Marathon specific training, the shorter end of my long runs is 13 miles. What am I getting myself into??? 😂 I have been playing around with my paces the past two weeks during my runs and at OrangeTheory. I want to see what I can maintain without overexerting myself. I also just love to challenge myself, but again, I don't want to exhaust my body. It is a fine balance, just like determining the
