Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences.  I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn.  I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.  If you want to know more check out my blog: www.runningfortrevor.blogspot.com

Oh hello Alaska!  Freakity crap it is freezing in Utah.

40 minutes weights working upper body & planks/pushups

20 min elliptical

7.2 miles easy on the treadmill.  Felt oddly great for some reason.

Spent the morning up at Weber State College which is where I have been going to school online for the past 2.5 years but my first time ever on campus.  I am getting my degree in Healthcare Promotion/Administration and for my Nutrition class they were offering a bunch of free health assessments in there Human Performance lab for extra credit.  I was all over it since it was all free and I haven't had any type of blood work done in ages. I am on a ridiculously high deductible insurance plan and have been riding the "just don't break your neck so you don't have to go to the doctor plan" for about 2 years strong so I was kind of excited about this.  They did all sorts of tests including body fat percentage, cholesterol, blood pressure, ect, and I found out I am pretty dang healthy which is great.  The most disappointing discovery of the day is that I am only 5'1.5!  I made the guy measure me like three times and I just kept getting shorter so I guess I'll just have to live with it.  I'll keep rounding it up to 5'3 because that just sounds better.

When he took my blood pressure he asked if I was a runner because it was low.  I said yes and he asked me if I am any good and why I didn't run for Weber.  Well because I am a freaking college Dinosaur dude!  Apparently he is friends with the cross country coach and thinks I have a year of eligibility left since I have only been enrolled at Weber since 2009.  Interesting information but I work in Provo and I probably wouldn't even have a shot at making the team.  But still this was interesting to me.

5'1.5" is a good height for a distance runner. Lets face it, its not like you were getting called up to the WNBA anytime soon anyways :-)

Last time I had my cholesterol and blood pressure checked they sat down with me and told me maybe I should exercise more, and that jogging is a good way to improve my health.

I felt bad and went home and just ate a whole box of Ding Dongs.

The commute for practice wouldn't be worth it.

Rob, that totally made me laugh! Because guess what happened to me yesterday?!? The doctor's office called and told me to exercise more to help my mildly elevated cholesterol. HA! I just rolled my eyes. Still makes me feel like a lazy fatty pants. Can't help that my mother gave me her bad cholesterol genes. I can't imagine what it would be like if I didn't exercise!

Rachelle, why not look into Weber's team? I think that would be SO cool! rent out the condo for a year and head up to Weber. See?!? you're a freakin' rock star!!

Also, I'm glad you got good results on all your tests.
