Do you run for fitness? Do you run for “me time”? How about as a stress reliever?
Do you run for fun? For that “runner high”? OR do you run for something more?
I don’t watch a whole lot of TV, but I am spending a relaxing evening surfing the web and watching baseball and I just saw a Dick’s Sporting Goods commercial on ESPN that made me look it up and want to share with you all… even though you guys are much more on top of things and in the know than I am, so I’m sure you’ve already seen it! ;)
Here is the Dick’s Sporting Goods webpage where they have real people’s stories on why they run or what they run for… truly inspiring! Please Go check it out! Here is just one of the many great videos:
Every runner has a reason… What’s yours?

It’s been a week since I graduated from the Interpreting Education Program! The 2 years and 2 quarters that I was in the program just flew by! 2 years of great teachers, hard work, tears, laughter, a lot of stress and a lot of lessons learned... I am finally an interpreter graduate!! I am so excited for this next chapter in my life and cannot thank my teachers or my peers enough for encouraging me and believing in me!!
What’s next? Well, I have sent my resume to a couple places and have an interview set up. I’m extremely nervous but also excited for what’s next. I think I may be afraid of change! lol… I’ve spent 7 years in college to earn 2 degrees and now I’m finally growing up! ;) Here we go!!
Remember my very first post of the year? WAYYY back in January?! Of course you don’t … ok, for those of you who can’t even remember what you ate last night for dinner (including me) Let’s recap. I talked about how 2012 wasn’t the best of years especially running/staying in shape-wise and set 3 attainable goals for 2013.
Goal #1: Run at least 1 mile every month!
Goal #2: Graduate in May and land at least a part time interpreting job by mid-June!
Goal #3: Finish all the WIPs (works in progress) I have on my knitting needles/crochet hooks and make something for myself this year! :) (currently sitting at 5 WIPs)
In my March Recap, I changed my first goal to : Run at least 1 mile every week.
Well… I’m changing it again to “At the end of each month, average 1 mile per week AND get rid of knee pain” This means that I don’t necessarily have to run 1 mile every week, as long as I average the 1 mile per week (or 4/5 miles a month) … certainly attainable right? My first priority is my knee though and not mileage…
GOAL #1: Run at least 1 mile every month week! At the end of each month, average 1 mile per week AND get rid of knee pain
~By the end of April I had run at least 2 miles every week (Except the first week
in January when I was sick) with a total of 69.57 miles for the year. Which means
on average I ran 4.09 miles per week. - GOOD SO FAR
GOAL #2: Graduate in May and land at least a part time interpreting job by mid-June!
~So far so good… I’m taking the last 2 classes I need and am at my last
internship required. Currently I have A’s in both classes (trying to keep it that
way). As far as the job part I am attending a job fair before graduation and have
started networking through my internship. - IN PROGRESS
GOAL #3: Finish all the WIPs (Works in Progress) I have on my knitting needles/crochet hooks (5 WIPS) and make something for myself this year! :) - 4/6 COMPLETE
