races?

I made a sort of goal this year that I was going to sign up for a race a month all year to help keep me training.

So far I have:

June: ?
July: Park City Mountain 5k (Third year in a row)
Deseret News 10k
August: ?
September: The Dirty Dash (SO excited about this one!)
October: The Halloween Half (Will be working up to this one all year)
November: ?
December: The Winter Sun 10k in Moab (Also the 3rd year in a row)

Remember when a 5k seemed like the impossible dream? Now, with three 10k's under my belt, they even seem doable. It's the half marathon that scares me. I know I can do it! Last year I signed up for the Halloween Half but gave up my training due to pretty severe shin splints. This year I am taking it slow and working up to my long runs.

If you hear of any races in those missing months let me know. I would love to run a race in California, Washington or Oregon. Anyone want to join me?

PS Last year I told myself that I couldn't run at night so I didn't. Well I just totally proved myself wrong! Yee-haw!

Water With Lime

what is it about limes that make

water so drinkable?

honestly, if I didn't have this as an option,

keeping away from the free-for-all soda fountain at work would be murder!

Ch-ch-ch-changes

Here's the list-

1-We moved from the city to the country! I am in heaven!

2-I started a new job as a waitress

3-I gave up carbonation and caffeine for Lent

4-I started Weight Watchers again

5-I've started running again

Ok, so there aren't that many changes BUT a new city and a new job are huge!

The new job was certainly a motivator for losing weight . I felt like a stuffed sausage in my work clothes, almost all the girls are skinny little toothpicks, and, shallow as it sounds, hot girls get better tips.

So, here I go again. I don't really know how this blog is going to go now. It will probably be a simple update once or twice a week, but I miss having this as a journal. I miss your support, too.

I'm excited to start running again and I'm starting slow to stop any injuries before they start. I ran three times this week for time instead of distance. I am posting my runs on Nike+ website and I love it! I am planning to sign up for one race a month to keep me in training for the Halloween Half Marathon in October.

I'm Back? Maybe?

I've had some major life changes and now I am back to working on me again. I think I am going to start posting again. I am also going to change the name of my blog because it no longer applies. Watch for the changes!

PS Let me know if you are still around!

6.2 Miles!

I'm off to run the Deseret News 10k! Wish me luck!!!

Realistic goal: Under 1:15

Unrealistic goal: Under 1:05

See you at the finish line!

Happy Birthday! (She just might kill me for this!)

As many of you know, my Bestest friend in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD (ok, after my mom) is Sam from Believe in Yourself. Today is the first of many 29th birthdays. ;)

So, Sami, Happy Birthday! Thank you for your friendship, your love, and your support through the years. We've made it through "I'm never talking to you again" fights, "I can never show my face in public" rumors, and even a couple near death experiences. More recently you have encouraged me to be a better, healthier, fitnessier Liana.

I love ya, and hope this makes you cry. ;)

So, here it is! I call it Growing Up With Sami.

Yes, that is my bum. Don't ask.

If you look closely, Sam and I are holding hands. (We were mad at our dates.)

Song of the day

Love this song! We can't forget who we really are while we are on this journey.
