Ok, so, I've settled on 14thC Irish. I really want to just be all over, every country, but I need to pick a home. Sticking with something I can truly claim, and maybe just changing my stupid last name's spelling so its more Mine, might at least wrap that up.
I can stil craft any culture. I can study the whole 14th C, loved most by me because of what we as a thinking species accomplished tween 1200-1400!
Its a good starting point, and the dresses I've seen aren't overly poofy. Not pants, but I might have to bite the bullet on that one. I may claim 14th C Irish maiden, but I AM pyrate captain. I just, don't know how to justify her yet.

Saving the World... One Game at a Time

Yar, so, I can only donate so much money... BUT I can always donate time I'm usually wasting ANYWAY!

Through Facebook I have been able to (supposedly) plant trees, feed hungry, and stuff teddy bears :P

Play a game, earn "Lunch Money", "donate" to different things. I'm working on Cancer, then moving on. However my Child Abuse is high because you can invite other people to donate with you, and you GET the $L they want you to be able to donate.

748 milligrams of teddy bear stuffing (Give Teddy Bears to Abused Children)
546 milliseconds of cancer research
1 grains of rice for the hungry

7 Trees Full Grown! (WeyrCat)
*Whether these are the trees they actually plant, I don't know. You are given random "seeds."
"Plant a virtual tree and give seeds to your friends! For each tree grown to adulthood, we will plant a real tree in a deforested area of the world. 613,300 trees have already been grown to adulthood! "
In this game, you plant a tree, water other peoples' trees, and for each tree grown to full height (about 3-4 waters) they plant a Real Tree.

I think they do the Planting trees thing because it's cheaper than giving to cancer, O_o or something.

Stupid bike shutoff @40, last 5 must have been CD as I forgot to change time when I decided to go to 350cal. Cest la vie.

Stretched all lower body. Right leg feels really tight. Glad I went, even if I didn't run. Feel like I'm falling back into the Too Much Too Fast with not enough recovery time. Today I was so exhausted and irritable, and its been building the last few days. Probably was a good idea to keep working but loooow impact. Also probably not good that I had maybe 1oz fluid (yes, one..) and todays calories included 2 bowls of cereal (one skim milk & cheerios, the other GoLean Crunch ((omg yum)) and light Soymilk), aaaand a PB & Pineapple jelly on Oatnut. So, not.. very many.
Oh and some "Reindeer Corn".. Christmas colored candy corn FTW!

The pain in my old fractures was inevitable, but still worries me. Its a no-brainer that any shin-splints I'd get would occur at the site of those old stress fractures. Shane has said, in passing, that they are shin splints. But they feel so like when my legs were breaking, I know its becoming a mental crutch.

I ran 4miles the other day. It was supposed to be my 100 Miles-in-a-Year run, but the RunnersLog counted some hikes and I wasn't as close as I thought. 95.95miles.. Only really a 4miler to go!! So I feel extra shmucky that I wanted to NOT run today. But, as my Hubby said: "It's not a race, til its a race."

I'm going to run, maybe Friday. Make Ice Baths a regular occurance, and Maybe do a couple weeks like:
LR - Rest - Bike/Ellip - R - Short Run. - RR.
/shrug/ I'll fine tune in.

090106 Registering Classes. A Journey...

So I walked up to the Registration Bldg @635, & a man in a yellow jacket told me the line for Reg started at the Tech building, which opens at (gasp) 630! So I walk through the rain (yes, its raining) to the "side door" which turns out to be another entrance to the Reg Bldg. After a chance meeting with the man in the yellow jacket he tells me "NEXT building!" Off I go. To a locked door telling I was "You are Here!" at the smoking area. Handy dandy map DID tell me the true door was around the way though! Again.. off I go. Through the rain, now dripping down my forehead, to another locked door. A security woman comes out to tell me the doors open Automatically at 8am. "They wouldn't let you wait in the Reg Bldg?" "They told me to come here.." "Go ahead and sit in there, out of the rain." So... I trudge back to the Reg Bldg. Only this time I ignore the yellow jacketed fiends and go to my car. Here I sit, across from the Automatically-Unlocking Door, hoping nothing changed between the Cl
ass avail I read at 545am and when I can line up inside at 8, and register at 9am.

Hoping:
Chem81 (Chemistry 1). With Thur lab.
If I can't have that, Chem81 with Tue lab. Harder on work schedule, but doable.

Also:
Psy241, Developemental Psychology. Online, to reduce "Crap I have to be at work in 10min!!"

Waitlisting: The PreReq I truly need:
Bio168: Anatomy & Physiology 1. This class (ALL sections) are full. It seems that Currently enrolled students were allowed to register early, online even, while New Students have to crawl through rainy parking lots only one week before the term starts just to get a class.
Doesn't sound right, sounds backwards and stupid. But we are in North Carolina.

704a.. A little red car parkes beside me, and went in the building! I packed up and following him to, a locked door. However I think as I stood there it ticked 7am, as the door just, unlocked! In I went, stopping at the Vend to get a water (forgot my bottle) I made my way to a security man who confirmed I was in the right place. I sat and a girl coming after me (previous student) said Yes, previous students can register early online. Counciled Registration (which I assume New Registration to be) begins today. Next Semester, I should be able to register online :P

-
Looong story short, I am now a Student at FTCC with Chem1 and DevPsych!
WOO

090104 +2m Ow & Logs

FitSum: +2mi, 19:16m, was too dizzy to get HR afterwards O.O

Yar, Hubby thinks its cause I was dehydrated. Me, I think it may just be silly to push a 3.1 at 21:45, NOT ice, stay up til 2, toss n turn til 3 (then YAY Melatonin!) and sleep til 11, tryin to squeeze a 2mi in before eating and work. Owie. Right leg just all jacked up. BoneScar and knee pain. Couldn't ice cause had to get ready for work, so kneeled in cold water while soaped up, but couldn't have been more than 2-3min. Ice packs slowly melting in the car while I wait for a break to ice.. Oi. Ima hurt myself this way.

Also trying to find a good Excel RunLog. I want to be able to embed it in a webbie, but ultimately I just want it period. Using the RunnersWorld one (which is awesome) but HAVE to use the PC. I can get a run in on the Treo but not Strength Training. But. Most logs I find won't have that option anyway. Would have to be some pretty complicated CrossFit Excel. Maybe one page for Run data, one page Strength data, but how to calc that..

090104 Brindle @ G13

Boooo have a beautiful brindle boxer female lying at my feet at G13, and no way to keep her. Hasn't been wild long, still affectionate/friendly! /girly <3ache

I had no food to give her, as I'd eaten it all, but I found a pack of Ramen in my trunk. She didn't eat all of it, delicacy that it is, but at least I fed her something. She hung out just as I was leaving then went back to the woods. Wish I could have taken her home.

090103 +3.1, Recipe: Pulled Pork Sandwich

FitSum: +3.1m 31:11 (10:04 miles). Pedometer: 1750.
Total miles to 100: 97/100!!

We don't drink very much, my husband and I, but in the 10 days around Christmas and New Years we definitely put some away. We decided to take January off from any alcohol. Based on what I read on the Liver Saving effects of artichokes I've decided to make them a good part of our diet this month as well. Almost like making January "Love your Liver" month!

The other night we had Pulled Pork Sandwiches on whole wheat buns. Its terribly easy, packed full of protein, and has a wonderful pineapple sweetness! We also had Spinach & Artichoke dip with our MultiGrain chips. SO good!

Recipe: Teriyaki Pulled Pork Sandwiches
From Taste of Home, Slow Cooker recipe cards

Ingredients:

1 boneless pork shoulder roast (3lb), trimmed
2 tsp olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup teriyaki sauce, divided
1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
3 tbs all-purpose flour
8 whole wheat hamburger buns, split
1 can (20 oz) sliced pineapple, drained

1) In a large skillet, brown roast in oil over medium-high hear. Cut in half, place in a 5-qt slow cooker. Add the onion, 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce and pineapple juice. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hour or until meat is tender.

2) Remove roast; set aside. In a small bowl, combine the flour and remaining teriyaki sauce until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Cover and cook on high for 30-40 minutes or until thickened.

3) Shred meat with two forks; return to the slow cooker and heat through. Spoon 1/2 cup onto each bun; top with a slice of pineapple.

(11:38pm) Oi.. though work at All American on a Saturday is slow (gaining me only 1750 steps,) the standing is painful. Pretty much every ache I've gained over the months of running hurt all at once at the end of my day, and then we ran our own 5k. We had to scream home, throw our gear on, and get into the lil gym before 9:30 (when the alarm sets.) We ran (painfully, as I took my stupid cayenne before we left) and then our leaving set the motion sensor alarm off. Oh well :P Who closes the gym at 9:30 anyway? I wanted to get home, and ice bath (first time really) but I had just taken naproxen and ran, so we aimed to wait 30 minutes. I stretched, ate, and here it is hours later, just before bed :P

+3.1 miles puts me at 97 miles. Supposed to have a 2 mile tomorrow, which is ACHINGLY close to my 100mile mark. Monday I have off, and Tuesday I run my first 4 miler since that magic day when I somehow ran 45 minutes and 4 miles on a treadmill, and only stopped cause I thought I should go check on my hubby.

090102 +3.5 Aaaand No New Years 5k...

FitSum(Yesterday): Run3.5m 35:16 ended at 7mph! Pu2.
FitSum(Today): Pedo: 4390
To Mile Marker 100: 93.9/100!!

Yea, today my pedometer tracked only the steps I took in the Museum when we saw the Dead Sea Scrolls, as 3 hours of driving doesn't earn you very much.
Was supposed to go to the Marine Corps New Years Resolution 5k tomorrow, paid for and all, only miscalced the time it would take to get there :( We could get there, and run it, but the probability of getting back home in time for me to make it to work? Low. Thus, Hubby says we'll run our OWN 5k tomorrow morn, and he'll buy me a shirt. (Yes, I demand a shirt when I run. I only don't have one for the Special Forces 5k I did, and that was due to a lack of Pre-Reg on my part. Lacksidasical.
