Run. Inspired.

I have a small, growing obsession of watching marathons and other races. So naturally, I watched the NYC Marathon on Sunday. I have been a little run down (read the boyfriend got me sick) lately, but watching these amazing runners always inspires me. As a  little tribute to them and in hopes of inspiring a few other people to get out there are sweat today.

And Ellie Goulding's, spot for Nike Running.

Now go grab your running shoes and get your sweat on! Happy trails.

 

iPhone 4S Cases

I recently upgraded my iPhone from my hand-me-down 3GS, to the 4S. Hip Hip Hooray! But that leaves me caseless for the time being and I fear every time I whip it out that I am going to drop this thing of beauty and break it. This one time, I dropped the first generation iPhone from 2 stories down onto concrete... yikes, AND, Yep, my friend who was on the other end was still talking on the phone when I ran down to get it, no joke, she had no clue. But that's neither here nor there. Here are some cases I recently am obsessing between.

My 30 before 30 list

It's taken about a month since my 29th birthday and to get my list of things I'd like to accomplish before I turn 30. But with no further ado, here it is (in no particular order):

  1. get a dog
  2. learn calligraphy
  3.  read more
  4. lose 10 lbs (and keep it off)
  5. PR in a race
  6. learn to knit
  7. take voice lessons
  8. get my 2nd tattoo
  9. freelance a job that is fun to design
  10. get new portfolio up
  11. learn to basic html/css
  12. minimize the "stuff" in my life (aka clutter)
  13. bake more
  14. make Julia Child's Beef Bourguignon
  15. journal regularly
  16. take more pictures
  17. draw/paint more
  18. make some jewelry
  19. strength train 2-3 times a week
  20. do more yoga
  21. buy less stuff
  22. travel somewhere I have not been
  23. do something nice anonymously
  24. surf
  25. charity work
  26. buy something from Lululemon (I know this is contradictory to number 21, but don't care)
  27. write more handwritten notes
  28. be more calm and patient
  29. mediate more
  30. wake up and watch the sunrise with someone I love

I realized it had been a while since I posted, and my good friend Lauren and I are going to get tattoos tonight after work. I will share pictures next week. Which made me realize I had this list of 30 before 30 that I never posted. So, with this post, number 8 is nearly scratched off the list :)
