But over the past few weeks I have gotten quite a few emails asking "Where have you been?" or "Update your blog! I find it so motivational!" so...here I am attempting to update the past year of my life in a paragraph or two. I do want to add that one of the emails I received was from a man starting up a rehab center to help addicts through exercise, through CrossFit to be exact. He read my blog some years back and decided to try and reach me to see if I would be interested in his vision. I was soo excited to hear from him because most of you know what my past was---I have a soft heart for people struggling to be free from bondage - something outside of themselves that controls them. So of course I said "YES!!!" I will keep you informed as to what that means for me from time to time. For now....I am just here to offer him support and to cheer his vision on as it unfolds.
This past year has been hands down one of the most challenging years of my life. It's right up there with all the other hard things I've walked through - drug addiction, the death of my loved one, my divorce, being cheated on and left, all those things. Geesh just writing that list tugs at my heart. I know that I am strong woman and that every situation that I have encountered in my life has molded me to be just that. I survive. I learn and I grow. I cannot be kept down. I WILL get back up and I WILL overcome. PERIOD. However, when the situations are emotional ones and you are hurt by people you trust it is difficult to understand. At least for me it is. For the past three years I have had the very best friend anybody could ever ask for. To say that he was the ONLY person in this world who "got me" would be an understatement. I could really be me around him. I didn't have to watch what I say. I could cuss like a sailor and not be judged. I could act inappropriately and say whatever came to my mind - and together we would laugh. He was my soft place to fall in this sometimes crazy harsh world. For three years we cheered each other on through our ups and downs and we traveled placed and just we there for one another. Well, out of the complete blue last August he decided he "needed a break" from me and I haven't talked to him since. To say that I am heart broken would be a intense understatement. Some people in my life think its because he developed more than a friendship feeling for me, others think maybe I served what role I was supposed to in his life and that that time was over.......I choose not to admit either and just know he was moving on in his life. My struggle is this....if somebody claimes they care about you - that you mean everything to them...at what point do those words change? I myself have been guilty of saying "I love you forever" and then walking out the door - but I separate intimate relationships from friendships in that if you have a dear friend why can't things remain the same between you? I just assumed we would be friends forever and I guess my childlike belief in that is why I am still so crushed months later. I want to pick up the phone and call him at least twice a week - which I don't - and I have this overwhelming feeling of being left out here in the world alone. Abandon. Left to be friendless I guess and because of that I feel quite lonely at times. Just knowing I had somebody to have my back made me feel so much less alone - but now that I don't have that, well....I feel ....jipped.
So, that's the situation I have been dealing with and trying to heal from. My romantic relationship has been challenging as well. Try as I might to understand why I have invited such a roller coaster relationship into my life - a year later I am still dumfounded. There must be a part of me that likes the fight. The struggle. I dunno - but if that were true, then why oh WHY do I hate it so much!!??I don't really want to share too much about that because I don't feel that I can be so open with him. He'd be upset if I wrote about him I'm sure.....

A blessing that has happened is that my brother came to stay with me for almost three months this winter. Having him around was a lot of fun. I've never been close to my family. My mom and I don't have a relationship and my father and I aren't really close. My brother is all I have and we share the same childhood so he gets me - a little- at least! He was out of work and having a hard time in Oregon - so he came out here to stay. I was able to find him quite a few jobs and I helped pay his bills back in Oregon which made me feel good. He just left Friday and the house has suddenly gotten empty again. When the kids are at their dads house I have it all to myself.....nice and bad all at the same time :)
So - I am doing good - great things are happening in my career for me. My clients are absolutly amazing and doing very well. I also am now working with San JOse State University sports teams on their nutrition. I LOVE THIS! And feel blessed every day because of this opportunity. Some other things are brewing that I will share about at another time. I promise to update this from time to time and post some pictures too.
This picture is of me, my brother James, and my cousin Michelle. We walked on the beach one sunny day here in SC and laughed together. Good Times!!!

It's definitely a LOT harder than road running/racing and very technical - but I really enjoy that aspect of running the trails. This season I have many races on my schedule that I am looking forward to. My body feels strong and no major injuries - except for the right hip that acts up every once in a while. Nothing that stretching (Im horrible at it) can't fix.<br /><br />Niscene Marks Half Marathon <br />San Lorenzo River 50k (32 miles total with my 1 mile extra)<br />Dirty Legs 21k<br />Santa Cruz Mountains 50k<br />Dirt Inspires Half Marathon<br /><br />I ran my VERY FIRST ULTRA MARATHON and I loved it!! It was 5,200 feet elevation climbs and I crossed a river that was above waist high 4 times during the race. The hills were brutal and I just kept moving. Having never run that distance before I had no idea how to pace it, or what to bring. I just brought a hand held water and a bottle of coconut water and protein power mix. Turns out that wasn't enough! I was flying the first 13 miles and did a course record pr at 2:10 (remember HILLS) and felt great. Then around mile 22 my quads cramped up horribly and I couldn't even take a STEP! I have never felt that before and didn't know what to do. I was in the middle of the forest alone and couldn't move. I was screwed! But after a few minutes a fellow runner came along and helped me out. He gave me salt tablets, and squeezed my quads until they released from cramping. I swear he saved me. I was thankful to get moving again and passed him on the course :) at the second turn around spot I ate salty foods and stocked up on salt tablets befoe continuing for my last big loop. I was shooting for 7 hours and if I didn't cramp up and loose time who knows how close I would have come to making that time. I finished in 7:32 something. I know what you're thinking ....7 and a half hours of RUNNING!!!! It wasn't that bad.......it was beautiful in there and I was accomplishing a goal. Oh yea - I did that race with only training at the most a 13 miler. Thanks BMack!!! Now in September I am doing the same course and I want that 7 hour time! Maybe even faster!!!! Wish me luck :)Shari Babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05361163801035879250noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36121168.post-2427187436109279272011-03-23T18:53:00.000-07:002011-03-23T19:03:52.824-07:00Vegas 2011 with my girls!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDWqtnO6qJfIgOKEVvxvI_lG0L5-A78qTBXy2yk7nTjlw7DCfRFcqCySfSqey6odcbgdM8JsvqZHfGMP9ywOQrreOowfMLN5xau_0HJOeJow4skDgi1k_x1-RhyphenhyphenWmSZ72Zu1QYkw/s1600/Vegas+2011+036.jpg"><img style="float:left;

Its the first time I've ever gone there as a girls trip and we had a BLAST!!! That's all I can say... :)Shari Babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05361163801035879250noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36121168.post-68146361963888174402011-01-08T13:38:00.000-08:002011-01-08T13:51:32.559-08:00The Iron Mind.....Henry Rollins wrote for Details a piece entitled, Iron. The following is a portion:<br /><br /><br />I have never met a truly strong person who didn’t have self-respect. I think a lot of inwardly and outwardly directed contempt passes itself off as self-respect: the idea of raising yourself by stepping on someone’s shoulders instead of doing it yourself. When I see guys working out for cosmetic reasons, I see vanity exposing them in the worst way, as cartoon characters, billboards for imbalance and insecurity. Strength reveals itself through character. It is the difference between bouncers who get off strong-arming people and Mr. Pepperman.<br />Muscle mass does not always equal strength. Strength is kindness and sensitivity. Strength is understanding that your power is both physical and emotional. That it comes from the body and the mind. And the heart.<br />Life is capable of driving you out of your mind. The way it all comes down these days, it’s some kind of miracle if you’re not insane. People have become separated from their bodies. They are no longer whole.<br />I see them move from their offices to their cars and on to their suburban homes. They stress out constantly, they lose sleep, they eat badly. And they behave badly. Their egos run wild; they become motivated by that which will eventually give them a massive stroke. They need the Iron Mind.<br />Through the years, I have combined meditation, action, and the Iron into a single strength. I believe that when the body is strong, the mind thinks strong thoughts. Time spent away from the Iron makes my mind degenerate. I wallow in a thick depression. My body shuts down my mind.<br />The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found. There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength. Once the mind and body have been awakened to their true potential, it’s impossible to turn back.<br /><br /><br />I absolutely love that article. I completely agree with Henry - I am walking the brink of insanity every second of every day - we all struggle to make our way in this world. Some have it easier than others, but still we struggle either emotionally or physically. For me, fitness is the glue that binds me together. When I'm having a bad day or feeling the weight of my situation on my shoulders, I know that if I go for a hard or fast run that when I return - exhausted- the only thought I will have is accomplishment. Not stress, not worry, not fear or rejection or loneliness . .....just bliss because I moved my body and felt my heart beat, my lungs expand and all these movements meant that I am still alive. CrossFit is another way I keep myself from jumping off a cliff, seriously. Nothing feels better than to walk into the gym, feeling grumpy or whatever negative emotion I may have, load up the barbell and take it out on the platforms. Exhaustion does something good for my soul - it it like I performed an exorcism . I tend to beat myself up until all I CAN feel is tired these days. I know everybody reading this can relate......you are mostly CrossFitters and endurance athletes. We love the pain that comes along with moving. <br /><br />Soooo - get out there today and remove whatever doubt or stress you are carrying around in your soul. I just finished a tempo run and I feel like I can focus again - like myself and move through my day with renewed excitement.

It was SO MUCH fun!! Brandon did the driving school, since he is only 13 and did multiple races against the other teenagers in his class. While that was happening, Sarah, Dad, Don and I were on the adjacent track racing just each other. I tried as hard as I could to catch up to Don, and I ended up breathing on his neck the last lap - and came in second place - beating Dad! One of the pictures shows us on the podium - Don 1st, me 2nd, dad 3rd....Sarah, well....she's a new driver and was very careful so came in 4th - but next time she'll open it up! We're going to rent both tracks out the end of the month for a family throw down. My cousins, aunts, uncles......maybe even Grandma (hahah) will all get to race. <br /><br />Super fun thing to do together!!!Shari Babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05361163801035879250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36121168.post-26924001832693568662011-01-05T18:10:00.001-08:002011-01-05T18:27:43.992-08:00Wine Tasting In Windsor on New Years<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgklORpBYjlFZYWeEQDjJ1RuwYHNfHDbE6yj_j-89MoHz9K7M840DM9ccdoEEBfNR1LwZ4ubO36h0qZakrMoUn8SZY6DUQY3UTfhMvil14YloBRdns4sPiWeLkmN8gmlYgig5Vy3g/s1600/DSC06186.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgklORpBYjlFZYWeEQDjJ1RuwYHNfHDbE6yj_j-89MoHz9K7M840DM9ccdoEEBfNR1LwZ4ubO36h0qZakrMoUn8SZY6DUQY3UTfhMvil14YloBRdns4sPiWeLkmN8gmlYgig5Vy3g/s400/DSC06186.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558890153177717010" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIco0AH-ikw6mzDxTnqvYsYFIE28jMxk6lZTLi-ShX9IYc7Iy_P_gUI0vXW6LG0R2bWJxeqT3RKjb-QBt73sguX3Dl5WDzGq562jSF6xxKMQzHmBnPxqqQpvnIaj-oKzB3Y9eTGQ/s1600/DSC06182.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIco0AH-ikw6mzDxTnqvYsYFIE28jMxk6lZTLi-ShX9IYc7Iy_P_gUI0vXW6LG0R2bWJxeqT3RKjb-QBt73sguX3Dl5WDzGq562jSF6xxKMQzHmBnPxqqQpvnIaj-oKzB3Y9eTGQ/s400/DSC06182.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558890150949942514" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgypbN_ppE0tn9yGzr29tKL1mPp_xFXjq9Qds_d5T1hl2LA4tBRQrYZ_2QaPT2_FPX7oySqXkCzDwDk8HHRkMz0iwm-UJMRP1jd5PlkjNPVO4_kaStJi8H0ZtkzJtKCLu1Da8jgwg/s1600/DSC06179.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgypbN_ppE0tn9yGzr29tKL1mPp_xFXjq9Qds_d5T1hl2LA4tBRQrYZ_2QaPT2_FPX7oySqXkCzDwDk8HHRkMz0iwm-UJMRP1jd5PlkjNPVO4_kaStJi8H0ZtkzJtKCLu1Da8jgwg/s400/DSC06179.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558890121786232226" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXgPCAuRqtY5kFN9QRscQfuW3t_OPsVOG_18kBr5T3O50w5NXQjHlZsKzLCvF908ACjPHcX93VLZatKmJIowxbznV8ZP2Bsy6Z0_aDt_3oj7Z9RVT-ml0xJwk3kgDZ1zvKMQOi0Q/s1600/DSC06176.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXgPCAuRqtY5kFN9QRscQfuW3t_OPsVOG_18kBr5T3O50w5NXQjHlZsKzLCvF908ACjPHcX93VLZatKmJIowxbznV8ZP2Bsy6Z0_aDt_3oj7Z9RVT-ml0xJwk3kgDZ1zvKMQOi0Q/s400/DSC06176.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558890121083279938" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghlP5I0IWKPqtuC4BsBYV1t0O1iD886T8ifv8fn0bw5nyCYQi4j8mjPybq5rnVgwOrGBzcbbSfoknyuIPIE-vHR4s2Y5vHiaqxcT4u70chZgmCLnNgkEGqdbpj6-zGiSaKOiallg/s1600/DSC06175.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghlP5I0IWKPqtuC4BsBYV1t0O1iD886T8ifv8fn0bw5nyCYQi4j8mjPybq5rnVgwOrGBzcbbSfoknyuIPIE-vHR4s2Y5vHiaqxcT4u70chZgmCLnNgkEGqdbpj6-zGiSaKOiallg/s400/DSC06175.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558890114931508770" /></a><br /><br />My friend Teresa invited me to her time share in Windsor for New Years this year. I've never been there, and its been a LONG time since I have hung out with Teresa so I was very excited to go. We got into town on Thursday and headed straight to some wineries for tasting. I bought some wine at Hawleys, a small family operated vineyard and just tasted at all the others. The little towns of Healdsburg and Windsor are so quaint and friendly - we really had a great time there. New Years Eve we were the first people at the tasting rooms - starting our morning off with wine, cheese and crackers. I was NOT eating paleo or Zone or even eating much protein! I just wanted to have a fun filled weekend - the last of 2010 - and worry about getting back on track after the indulgent weekend. I think the only meal I had that was even remotely close to eating well was sushi at THE best place called Sushi O'......other than that meal it was bread, brownies, chocolate covered pretzels, whatever I wanted. And you know what? I only gained a couple pounds (never freak out for me) and I lost it all, and then some already......but the enjoyment I felt at ordering whatever sounded good - and tasting chocolate every day was way worth the pounds! The first thing I did when I got home on New Years Day, after dropping my luggage, was hop on my treadmill "Lilly" and run 7 miles. I forgot to mention my weekend of indulgence also included ZERO exercise! YES! Leaving 2010 with a bang!!! I hope all of you enjoyed your holidays and did exactly as I did -- threw the diet and strict exercise schedule in the trash, and ate to your hearts content. <br /><br />Having said that it was okay to be lazy and eat like crazy - it is now January 2011 (Yes! 2011!!!) and with the new year comes renewed excitement and promises of eating healthy and training harder. We all do it. New year, new me......It was a little hard for me to detox from the holiday drinking nd eating and being lazy - but man does it feel great to get back to a schedule! <br /><br />What are some of your resolutions for this year? <br /><br />I have a busy year planned, and my only promise to myself is to try and seize the moment. Life happens really fast. If you don't stop and enjoy it - you will miss it. I want to take time to stop and enjoy more of what is happening around me more often. My lovely daughter is now 16 and driving. My handsome son is 13 and growing more every day. I want to soak up every second and breathe it all in. I am turning 42 this month and it sounds so freaking old to me. I am not where I pictured myself to be at this stage in my life - so maybe I can re draw that vision? <br /><br />Cheers to a great year to you all!! xoxoxShari Babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05361163801035879250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36121168.post-91594247120482243542011-01-05T18:05:00.000-08:002011-01-05T18:08:02.097-08:00Christmas 2010<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOmF_3WW_FWcXG3YbuQMaCcgXx_St4KMPS8aOygc5GAXioyePC1Rq1piOvAydBmGqcQJe21etx8HM4YG8Yvo-mIuciPD4ItvtATtPtSDT8WIe0UZzjU8a7Ns95elsbFQ6VV6cJLg/s1600/DSC06171.JPG"><img style="float:left;

I wanted to take them all to the real deal, but they are still too young, so this was the next best thing. It was special because Chris, my best friend, and his kids went with us as well. We all had a blast! There is nothing like feeling weightless!! Watching the looks on the kids' faces just made my day.

First of all, I was on a team that competed in the Affiliate Challenge and I did wods #1 and Wod #2. WOD #1 was run 400 meters and max reps maneaters @25# while your partner runs a 400, switching off for ten minutes getting as many runs in as possible. We got 11 in as a team of 4. Man, I had to run hard since everybody sorta expected me to :) Good thing I LOVE RUNNING!!!<br /><br />I had a couple hours at the most to rest then it was wod #2 time.... 21 deadlifts @ 155# into max reps hspu as a team of 4 each individual had to complete 21 deadlifts before moving to the hspu.....it wasn't so bad. I only felt the last 5 were a little rough. (no bouncing allowed and open and close the hands at the bottom of each lift) you had 7 minutes to complete that and get points for the hspu...then right into 21 front squats @95 pounds into max rope climbs in the same scoring fashion. It was hard ! I was thinking the whole time about the trail race 13 miler I was going to be running on Sunday.....front squats are not the best exercise to do BEFORE running!!!<br /><br />At the end of a long day I felt fantastic! I got to see a lot of CrossFit friends that i don't see in my everyday liofe anymore and I again was just filled with happiness at what a wonderful community we have within CrossFit. It truly is amazing. Everybody was so encouraging and cheered for eachother, even rival teams....it was fantastic! <br /><br />I went home exhausted, popped some recovery vitamins and prepared for my early morning wake up and hit the bed, fast asleep. When the alarm went off at 6am I had a slpit second thought..."hmm.....maybe I can just not go. Nobody would call me a pussy after yesterday if I don't want to run 13 miles today." But....I would call MYSELF ONE!! I crawled out of bed.....literally, because my hamstrings and midback were so tight.....and went to the rollers. I rolled and drank a pot of coffee just trying to convince myself that I am alright to run.<br /><br />When I got to Nisene Marks and registered and saw all the amazing women who came out to run 13 miles I felt much better that I decided to just do it!!The race started up a paved road hill and wound along fire roads then up up up into single track . Somewhere around mile 3 I felt a burning on my left side scalp, around the top of my head. As I ran I tried to feel what was happening, but the burning and pain got so intense I stopped running, and wildly started pulling my braids and hairties out of my hair. I could feel something biting me and I could hear a buzz so of course I was yelling "its in my hair!!, help me!!" women just kept running. Finally 3 angels stopped and started digging through my hair to release the 2 yellow jackets that were burrowed into my hair biting my scalp alll the while I was like moaning because it burned so freaking bad! They seriously saved me, no way could I get those things out on my own because I was panicking. Turns out lots of women were getting bit by a swarm and some ladies had on the upwards of 15 bites! Anyway, after that drama I started running again a litle faster to try and make up some much needed time. I think I was paused on the trail freaking out for almost 7 minutes, which is a long time. I passed a ton of ladies on the fire roads and when we hit the single track thats where I just opened it up and really came alive! I actually LAUGHED outloud the whole time I was on the single track. I had so much fun....my body felt light and effortless, but more importantly, my soul, .my heart felt light. I absolutely felt my heart come alive and start to just feel peace. It was amazing, and here I was 7 miles in and just flying. Brian MacKenzie was right when he said that fatigue in an endurance run/race isn't a lung issue , its a strength and conditioning issue. I am stronger now than I was before and it showed in how I just settled into a pace, not even feeling the ground or my legs or my lungs after the 6th mile......it was amazing. Everytime I run trails I always end up laughing outloud and wondering why the HELL I dont do it more!!??<br /><br />Anyway, Im waiting for the results to be posted. I think I did pretty well.....even for stopping and dealing with bites. :) Ill post what happens...<br /><br />Take care....and get out there and get DIRTY!!! ON the trails, that is......you will be inspired, like I was. I promise!!!Shari Babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05361163801035879250noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36121168.post-20502397875910146112010-08-08T17:03:00.001-07:002010-08-08T17:11:58.357-07:00Delicious Paleo Pancakes!!!I got this recipe from CrossFit Santa Cruz's foodie, Kristie A's blog "Feasting on Fitnes". She has an amazing blog and posts very useful information. I suggest you add it to the blogs you follow if you are a CrossFitter living a Paleo life :) As I stated in earlier posts I adore pancakes. This month I cannot eat them for a cheat meal - as I am trying to NOT have cheat meals, so to the computer I went to find a better recipe for Paleo friendly cakes. I found this gals blog and the pictures she posted made the little cakes look SO delicious---that I couldn't wait for Sunday morning to give them a try. I managed to let myself sleep in, which is difficult for me since I rise before 4 am every day....but I didn't wake up until 9am. I am lucky enough to have a fabulous farmers market directly across the street from my house on Sunday's , so after a strong cup o Joe, I meandered across the street to purchase my weekly fruits, veggies, farm fresh eggs and fresh caught fish. The kids were still asleep when I got back from my shopping so I started to whip up some breakfast to hopefully stir their lazy butts to wake up! :) Let me just say....these pancakes are DE licious! She writes in her blog that they do not need syrup - I was a little hesitant to believe her, but man when she's right, she's right! They were so yummy and moist that I didn't need any sugary flavorings to add to the already honey sweet batter. Great job Kristie! I will be preparing these tasty treats on the weekends for sure! Top with sliced fruit and slivered almonds or top with almond butter and roll up.....just eat them! You will NOT miss the conventional gluten laden cakes at all. I promise!<br /><br />Pancakes from Heaven<br />slightly adapted from Flapjacks<br />Cooking Time: 15 minutes<br /><br />2 eggs, room temperature (warm using a warm water bath or leave out prior to cooking)<br />1/8-1/4 C honey<br />1 T vanilla extract<br />1/2 C water<br />1 and 1/2 C almond flour/meal<br />1/2 tsp kosher salt<br />1/2 tsp baking soda<br />coconut oil (for cooking)<br /><br />Using a blender, combine the wet ingredients: eggs, vanilla, honey, and water. Blend until smooth. Then, add the dry ingredients: almond flour, salt, and baking soda. Blend until smooth. <br /><br />Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat (I had to crank mine up to med-high to get it going, then back down to med-low or lower by the time I reached the last batches--but that could be my stove). Add coconut oil and swirl to melt and distribute. Pour pancake batter onto the skillet to get your desired size of pancakes (I found that smaller is better and was able to fit 4-5 sand-dollar sized pancakes in my large skillet). Wait until you see bubbles bursting from the center of the pancake before turning (I had some trial and error with this--the bottoms cooked fast and the tops stayed liquid, making for a messy flip). The upright side should be golden brown (not burned) and crusty/crunchy. Yum! Wait until the underside is browned before removing and continuing the process with the remaining batter. <br /><br />I got a slew from this recipe, around 12 depending upon the size. Keep the removed pancakes warm using a warming burner or oven set to warm. It helps to put a moistened paper towel on top to keep them from drying out. <br /><br />Once done, you don't need any syrup. Let me say that again since it came as a surprise to me too: You don't need any syrup! They are delicious as is and a great accompaniment to eggs (in background of next picture)!Shari Babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05361163801035879250noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36121168.post-19385964375190249892010-08-04T14:13:00.000-07:002010-08-04T14:40:02.897-07:00Start Of A New Challenge...I decided to start a new challenge for myself for the month of August. If I am accomplishing what I hope, I will continue for 3 months...who knows, maybe more! I eat a pretty clean diet already - mostly Paleo, with some gluten free oatmeal at breakfast. But I have a sweet tooth like you would NOT believe! I look forward to my Saturdays so I can have pancakes (my absolute favorite food....ever), or carrot cake from the Buttery, or chocolate anything, cookies, cakes, or any pastry....you get the picture. Well, then I go out Saturday evening and end up having some drinks and eating like crap again and Sunday I have the worst sugar hangover ever! Which starts Mondays off to a shaky start and all my training doesn't get back to normal until Wednesday - then after feeling good for 3 days the cycle starts over again. I just want to feel good ----ALL THE TIME!! I don't NEED sugar. But I WANT IT! I can't have everything I want in this life anyways, so why not remove the crap thats bad for me ? That goes for way more than just food - by the way :) Relationships that are toxic, friendships that are bringing me down, old grudges, whatever else...its time to clean house and work on feeling my best. <br /><br />Here's what my August has started off like::::<br /><br /><br />Mon 8/2/10 weight 106<br />6am- 4 oz. chicken, 1/3 cup cooked gluten free oats, 1/2 cup blueberries.<br /><br />8am- XFIT Benchpress 6x2 @110. Backsquats 5x3 @ 160<br /> 5 squat clean thrusters, 10 chest 2 bar pullups x5 @95#. 10:12<br />10am 4 oz chicken, 2.5 oz sweet potatoe, asparagus. vitamins and fish oil.<br /><br />12:00 RUN EASY PACE. 5 MILES 32:00<br /><br />2:00 4 oz. grilled salmon, large salad<br /><br />4pm 4 oz. chicken, 1 cup strawberries<br /><br />7pm 4 oz filet minon steak, mashed sweet potatoes, gilled asparagus. sliced fruit for desert with slivered almonds.<br /><br /><br />Tues. 8/3/10<br /><br />6am 4 oz chicken, 1/3 cup oats.<br /><br />8am XFIT ENDURANCE SIGHT 21-15-9 front squats @ 75, ring dips, box jumps. 10:02<br /><br />10am 4oz chicken, sweet potatoe<br /><br />12:00 large salad with grilled steak<br /><br />1:30 TRACK WORKOUT 4x200 (34 sec pace), 2x400 (1:18 pace), 3x200 (35 sec pace) 2x400 (1:21 pace) total 6 miles<br /><br />3:30 4 oz chicken, large green salad, nuts.<br /><br />7:00 4 oz chicken with pesto, mixed veggies cooked in coconut oil<br /><br />I hit a PR last week on the track for my 400 and my 800 meter. New 400 meter time is 1:15....new 800 meter time is 2:55:32. My 1 mile time )3x 1 mile repeats) is 6:10 for the last repeat.<br /><br />I feel good. I am getting to bed super early, I know sort of a boring life - but it works for me. I start my day before 4am, so the more rest I get the better for me. And training 2 times a day means I need more recovery time. I haven't had a craving for sugar at ALL - but it has only been 3 days, so that will probably change. I have a few races coming up and I KNOW the added focus and attention to my overall being will make for a better race. This morning (Wed) I weighed in at 104. I DO NOT want to loose weight - so I will be tacking on some calories today for sure!Shari Babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05361163801035879250noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36121168.post-14198102100372868042010-07-19T15:45:00.000-07:002010-08-04T14:09:03.397-07:00CrossFit = Friends Around The Globe<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbfvn6t47XpScQgrCf9YP8eJyguDXHi0eSMONgEyElkJ9jn0k0WKz_3UJPlm1WuAz22p-_qFwLN_b33ZS45kf7pIrpSsF3b4YnupLprFOn9oudgwVrT93vaVwHVk1EUGC_msLs9A/s1600/DSC05321.JPG"><img style="float:left;

Some of these people I haven't seen since I was a crazy strung out teenager. Others I have kept in touch with. It was great to see everybody, but also made me feel a little weird. I was a completely different person back when they knew me as Shari Anderson. I had long blonde hair and I was strung out. A total party girl. My life revolved around meth and whatever other drug I could get my hands on. That life of my past doesn't feel like it ever really existed, because its so far removed from who I am today. Being around those people brought on memories of running drugs, and spending my days with zero motivation or direction and being in a constant haze. How incredibly sad. You know, I watched this tv show called Drugs, Inc. the other day and they were talking about a statistic that only 6% of people addicted to Meth get fully recovered without relapsing. I let that soak in for a little while then I just smiled. I am one of that very small percentage ...the 6%....who left that life behind and never went back to that addiction. Makes me feel pretty damn good about myself. I got to talk to my friends about what I do for a living, about CrossFit and eating healthy and I'm hoping some of it stuck. Maybe they'll find their way out of that life (yes, some are still exactly as they were as teenagers and have never escaped the hold the drugs had on them) and desire to get healthy and will recall this CrossFit thing Shari Told me about. I don't have time to write more, its past my bedtime and I need some good sleep tonight. Ill finish my rant tomorrow...Shari Babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05361163801035879250noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36121168.post-37068798920228614742010-07-03T05:32:00.000-07:002010-07-03T05:37:40.374-07:00As Requested........<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDtWEWsGD59fzQnsBHkdI1wZi0jJHer2ncFRM6WKVk5eb2GaPfqlCreqUHuzbRLjyutpGCuZGv0OYKN_YIvIyBHijiqdnU1heaMt79V0MeZmUya4BY1hOwuTyPaxHY0vPlSL7ztg/s1600/DSC05756.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDtWEWsGD59fzQnsBHkdI1wZi0jJHer2ncFRM6WKVk5eb2GaPfqlCreqUHuzbRLjyutpGCuZGv0OYKN_YIvIyBHijiqdnU1heaMt79V0MeZmUya4BY1hOwuTyPaxHY0vPlSL7ztg/s400/DSC05756.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489657570234319474" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFOLkMgK6SejCUyfl-yW7JgQJt3-Kg3Xy2KvGtOxyxYEb-KUFELzDcoiTOSsIbRRIu6CYjaqPYcOadn0ft5LIGsQECRfD_adSz8OmiWM4Q3q1Sl510DVEFOf-SPYLDWJEnLnOxQQ/s1600/DSC05755.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFOLkMgK6SejCUyfl-yW7JgQJt3-Kg3Xy2KvGtOxyxYEb-KUFELzDcoiTOSsIbRRIu6CYjaqPYcOadn0ft5LIGsQECRfD_adSz8OmiWM4Q3q1Sl510DVEFOf-SPYLDWJEnLnOxQQ/s400/DSC05755.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489657560482813746" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ5mqSP8gkc1NbCQjXj1zot-N-s4m2H6bpdy6A80EKdlPMAHmeLHn6qpYASTzkLatDpUiwP3Jc-XkW2fkrT8eK-SD9UdiSF0XmTpa26St__jKWSvejKF0D7eZ8mhoHldqRLIy3eA/s1600/DSC05753.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ5mqSP8gkc1NbCQjXj1zot-N-s4m2H6bpdy6A80EKdlPMAHmeLHn6qpYASTzkLatDpUiwP3Jc-XkW2fkrT8eK-SD9UdiSF0XmTpa26St__jKWSvejKF0D7eZ8mhoHldqRLIy3eA/s400/DSC05753.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489657549454719058" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1ZPyXd3VzCElTLm9o_odLe0rBabViLF_0JRLc4FUrHM_WQ3xLFoUwddsRc9QD-60cgMcnovcZQMPVzT6_CKC4In4oRc4rKhRcJ1oe0yFH89WzOyUnXVBw0hgjt7DIFAwTKFDmlw/s1600/DSC05761.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1ZPyXd3VzCElTLm9o_odLe0rBabViLF_0JRLc4FUrHM_WQ3xLFoUwddsRc9QD-60cgMcnovcZQMPVzT6_CKC4In4oRc4rKhRcJ1oe0yFH89WzOyUnXVBw0hgjt7DIFAwTKFDmlw/s400/DSC05761.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489657534232422290" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS00B8g7wK4cRJIgxjFqz98HUWmO17uw4xFd1wJ8Aew42yIOe6smPlZ26yQAwNDHxq4yuUy2uT_Y8sygQaMVJgP2S2Jkc8whGRtFLJWOfaRT8q72etDQh9mpCsstdwF8Yf1lZ_yw/s1600/DSC05759.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS00B8g7wK4cRJIgxjFqz98HUWmO17uw4xFd1wJ8Aew42yIOe6smPlZ26yQAwNDHxq4yuUy2uT_Y8sygQaMVJgP2S2Jkc8whGRtFLJWOfaRT8q72etDQh9mpCsstdwF8Yf1lZ_yw/s400/DSC05759.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489657526380403202" /></a><br /><br />These are for you Jesse......thanks for reading my little blog!<br /><br />Been training hard and running a ton.

He always gets me to do the workouts that I probably wouldn't do on my own, or I'd for sure procrastinate about. Here's what he decided we'd do:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">3x 1 mile repeats.....<br /><br />There's a legit mile marked in front of my house along the Wharf to Wharf race course....so we used that as our marker.<br />1 mile jog warm up<br />mile 1 : 6:28<br />1 mile walk/jog back to start<br />mile 2: 6:15<br />1 mile walk/jog back to start<br />mile 3 : 6:10<br />1 mile walk/jog back to start<br />total 7 miles speed work.</span><br /><br /><br />Mind you - there are a few hills on this course, and lots of turns and inclines. So Chris said on the track Id be about a 5:57, which is where I was trying to get back to! These are also PRs for me---last mile repeats I did on the track were 6:27, 6:23, 6:22.!!<br /><br />Getting faster and I felt great. I was a little worried before we began because my right hip has been acting up and as long as I dont get lazy and keep my POSE perfect I float so it's alright.Shari Babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05361163801035879250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36121168.post-16441912217690735632010-06-18T15:36:00.001-07:002010-06-18T15:39:24.265-07:00Side Note...To the people who decide to read my little diary and take the time to write mean messages..... I don't care what you say about me. I am a person trying to find my way, I am sensitive and sometimes over emotional. Yes, I have had a lot to cry about in my life....but at least I take time to reflect and try to become a better person. Instead of wasting my time commenting on somebodys blog who you obviously don't like. Heres an idea....do something for yourself, or somebody in your life with that extra time on your hands. You do not bring me down :)Shari Babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05361163801035879250noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36121168.post-30477824660316224612010-06-18T05:41:00.000-07:002010-06-18T06:25:22.684-07:00Reflection and Gratitude<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1-k3VC2J5TM8OnyNBxclcW1xCNWDaHUawlS0rIJLBGhXKN7SJo7hmdxoQ4yCohAmQYOUVlDbXqa50eOlPEv56-EE-WKkXJQX_2P3nOpsNPiY4AKkqlRtVCw1UOZL0CueSTZVxvw/s1600/DSC05732.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1-k3VC2J5TM8OnyNBxclcW1xCNWDaHUawlS0rIJLBGhXKN7SJo7hmdxoQ4yCohAmQYOUVlDbXqa50eOlPEv56-EE-WKkXJQX_2P3nOpsNPiY4AKkqlRtVCw1UOZL0CueSTZVxvw/s400/DSC05732.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484095336661627762" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhthqwvgc2AuYLYJUsBME92Cd-oquYtShPYs42ltIMiGMYTNIdN3jeu_ryyKsAOswxN4DWo3bF61xZAOOKc_Q0Npo6LoUyji9hsDO4y-rKmZoK7XCw8rs4dhe2WMv_yFDzEFCspyg/s1600/DSC05731.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhthqwvgc2AuYLYJUsBME92Cd-oquYtShPYs42ltIMiGMYTNIdN3jeu_ryyKsAOswxN4DWo3bF61xZAOOKc_Q0Npo6LoUyji9hsDO4y-rKmZoK7XCw8rs4dhe2WMv_yFDzEFCspyg/s400/DSC05731.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484095323894770322" /></a><br />I have been a pretty busy woman lately so I have had some errands on the back burner that have been nagging at me to get to them. One of the things I needed to do was to clear out my storage unit.....I couldn't even remember the things I have in that thing its been so many years since I've even stepped inside. So, the other day I had a couple hours off and took a drive to the damn place to get busy. The first item I picked up just changed my mood completely and hit me off guard....a small wooden chest that I use to hold all the items that Geoffrey gave me and all the photos of him and us. Geoffrey Anderson was the first love of my life whom I met when I was just 15 and who impacts my life in huge magnitudes today and well into my future. Anyway, I opened the chest excited to see what was inside but those feelings quickly turned to sadness, hopelessness, lonelyness and regret when I saw the photos and read the letters. How can an even that happened over 18 years ago still feel like it just took place? Obviously I have some issues that Ive swept under the rug and haven't completely dealt with. So here I was photos in hand sitting in the hallway of a storage place sobbing. What a pathetic sight, I know....but sometimes you just need a good cry. <br /><br />Geoffrey was killed in 1992 in an airplane crash that took place in Perris Valley, CA. He was a skydiving videographer, there were 22 people on board and all but 5 were killed. I spoke to him on the phone just before he took off on that last flight, it was the 8th run on that plane that day. I remember hearing the news break on the tv as I did chores in my apartment about the skydiving airplane crash....my cousin called me and said she thinks that was where Geoffrey was. I watched the news and knew instantly my life was just changed. I tried calling him, tried calling the skydiving school where he worked, his mom, his roomate...all with no answer. Finally after what seemed like forever I got the call from his mother and father. I can still hear her voice telling me that Geoffrey was on that plane. It went something like this..<br />." Shari...are you sitting down?'<br /> "no mamma...it wasn't Geoffreys plane , right?' <br />"Shari, Geoff was on that plane."<br /> "He's okay though.....he's always okay, he had a parachute on.." <br />She interrupted me with, "Geoffrey is dead." <br />I felt a rumble a hollowness, black energy that seemed to originate from the middle of the earth that rose up and connected with my feet and then took over my body with such pain.....pain that started from the beginning of time all seared in MY body, these were MY feet, MY heart, MY screams, MY tears, MY confusion...... <br /><br />The next thing I remember is my friend picking me up from the floor as I became hollow...emptied out with that phone call. All I knew is I wanted it to stop....I didn't even know what to stop or how to get away from what was consuming me. I took every drug in my possession in the hopes that it would kill the emptiness.... it didn't and instead of dying I lived. I was left here to sort through everything. Why did this have to happen to such an amazing human? Why did God take him from me? Too many questions and I had no FUCKING ANSWERS!! I became a complete drug addict from that phone call until I was 24 years old. Stuffing my pain down to my feet and never letting it rise above my kneecaps, for fear that I would be consumed like I was that moment on the phone.....<br /><br />All of these memories all came back to me like they had just happened as I looked through photos and cards in my storage unit. Why, after so many years of a life changing event, does it still hurt as if it just happened??<br /><br />I have had many things occur in my life since I was that young girl. I got clean, got married, had two amazing children, and lived my life. But not a day goes by that I don't still think about Geoffrey, Mamma Barbara and their family. I look around my house and everything I have is because of them. I guess maybe I impacted their lives as well. My favorite quote... <br /><br />"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. " Helen Keller. <br /><br />Well, maybe I have gained some character through my experiences. We never know why things happen..or why bad things happen to good people I'm still trying to figure out my life and my purpose here. I have made a lot of mistakes and I have heaps of regret that I am working though. I know I have guardian angles and Geoffrey watches out for me and my kids. <br /><br />I hope that someday I will have love again.Shari Babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05361163801035879250noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36121168.post-3340744193633932542010-06-01T19:49:00.001-07:002010-06-01T19:57:01.905-07:00My Babies Are Growing Up...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHqfmwF4HGsHH5npDHkr1HosuVC75PcPdii0355tTaWZ91J-Rxe5oPzyo2Td0k2oMdtgsla5OLVqX1fWE-sxe49_iyB-kNqXTB7rBZzkru8x1z29h7ka9Qg1yhHfhHQoxe6r2Gjg/s1600/DSC05713.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHqfmwF4HGsHH5npDHkr1HosuVC75PcPdii0355tTaWZ91J-Rxe5oPzyo2Td0k2oMdtgsla5OLVqX1fWE-sxe49_iyB-kNqXTB7rBZzkru8x1z29h7ka9Qg1yhHfhHQoxe6r2Gjg/s400/DSC05713.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478003702725724994" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1o4wBzFLfeBCUiw6sybAxzHrfG5DxMWQfJUx4A4uzR08DFHr0HLWfLgJqHevq6oImsjVitWquPUM8TW3qzocbOj0RHmORn-vTATL1lcfgtPLlBI33wTxhEI_k3sv6rRtzqiIaSA/s1600/DSC05698.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1o4wBzFLfeBCUiw6sybAxzHrfG5DxMWQfJUx4A4uzR08DFHr0HLWfLgJqHevq6oImsjVitWquPUM8TW3qzocbOj0RHmORn-vTATL1lcfgtPLlBI33wTxhEI_k3sv6rRtzqiIaSA/s400/DSC05698.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478003698539394594" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0mKWfZlWeAcvFfRVuc7hghsT7fd-t90LHWhtEVNMS_te-3KR0hWe6SuCseWJUTqTgWJLls2z412yHDQJWAShsjZplSV4fZN_Ag0d1eL970X9xSodFVWJwiUmKSC0F90Ww6RSTjQ/s1600/DSC05684.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0mKWfZlWeAcvFfRVuc7hghsT7fd-t90LHWhtEVNMS_te-3KR0hWe6SuCseWJUTqTgWJLls2z412yHDQJWAShsjZplSV4fZN_Ag0d1eL970X9xSodFVWJwiUmKSC0F90Ww6RSTjQ/s400/DSC05684.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478003690315374578" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXqh1vxjZ4sVvBifxctW30Nk3TTe4apievV51-fFxJv9fYK9qHvZtHVQovyz5M1kpttqjfr_jpQ76mVOrLn0zMkgIc6fSNr4Uv6iyCkU592FBz62wQYFBEJza1IAnrAMo7xuw-Qw/s1600/DSC05678.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXqh1vxjZ4sVvBifxctW30Nk3TTe4apievV51-fFxJv9fYK9qHvZtHVQovyz5M1kpttqjfr_jpQ76mVOrLn0zMkgIc6fSNr4Uv6iyCkU592FBz62wQYFBEJza1IAnrAMo7xuw-Qw/s400/DSC05678.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478003681286075026" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYnesEBL0zl6mggn7ZtdorouetG3zplyiJUVkq-asFYG7MNKZCdc-Cfwc8ryFiudyO93L-cVwDlRbPT5mIK6xp9MVZAwrWf-DZc-ZxpBy0Bl-1L9GZAPUtrMctfL8CmqU936pCXw/s1600/DSC05674.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYnesEBL0zl6mggn7ZtdorouetG3zplyiJUVkq-asFYG7MNKZCdc-Cfwc8ryFiudyO93L-cVwDlRbPT5mIK6xp9MVZAwrWf-DZc-ZxpBy0Bl-1L9GZAPUtrMctfL8CmqU936pCXw/s400/DSC05674.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478003675127661986" /></a><br /><br />My son Brandon turned 13 a couple weeks ago, and my daughter just turned 16. Where did all the time go? It so amazing to look at these young adults and watch their lives unfold and all the possibilities that lie in front of them. I am blessed that they allow me to share in their lives and my house has become the open hosting house to all of her friends, as well as her boyfriend. Brandons friends are always hanging around as well and it fills the house with activity. Sarah is driving now and an absolutely beautiful woman. Her friends are equally beautiful and amazing.....I feel blessed for every day that is given to me....they mean everything to me. Brandon and Sarah have always been my reason why I am here. My anchors. Brandon has stepped into the role of the man of the house and he takes care of me - watches out to make sure that I am okay - its very sweet :) I could go on and on about the wonderful things I learn every day living with these two incredibly people - but I'll just say it in one word. ..... Blessed.

It was my first actual 5k RACE - I have always loved racing the longer distances so I completely ignored the 5k. Now I see it in a whole other light - they are TOUGH! I started out fast and did my best to just hang on!! I came in 5th place overall, which I was extremely happy of.....by mile 2 I was at 12 minutes and 19 seconds. I felt strong and fast, even thought the girl in front of me was an 8th grade girl from the local track team :) The fact that I am 41 now and I stayed with her the entire race made me feel really good!!<br /><br />I have been focusing on my running a ton the past few months, and all the hard work I out in on the track shows when I out it to the test. Tuesdays are my short track days, Thursdays are my long track days and Sundays are either a time trial or a long run day. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are reserved for CrossFit only. This schedule has been working great and sometimes I do double days as well. Yesterday I did my long track day since this past week was hectic! Here's what I did:<br /><br />3x 1000 meters<br />200 recovery<br />2x 800 meters<br />200 recovery<br />1x 400 meter<br />DONE :)<br /><br />This was a brutal one!! Jesus...I have it to Chris and when he told me to kiss the track before walking on it because I was going to be suffering I thought...it can't be THAT bad.....but it was. and even worse!!<br /><br />Give it a try and tell me what you think!!Shari Babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05361163801035879250noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36121168.post-58350042248783482442010-04-09T14:25:00.000-07:002010-05-11T16:12:10.914-07:00Reflections.....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh85om45MAeYRTPkBHggztADr3mYwizz1l_f4QniZ1iTIiy-XqyUHijCIz0ITg-xNLVYY6uKI67Tg1HtD3Ejr4Jq1AiS-3h-HxhEP67MuoqikeBY_Bju2NfNJWLbGm-IQNPvWNxuQ/s1600/DSC05539.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh85om45MAeYRTPkBHggztADr3mYwizz1l_f4QniZ1iTIiy-XqyUHijCIz0ITg-xNLVYY6uKI67Tg1HtD3Ejr4Jq1AiS-3h-HxhEP67MuoqikeBY_Bju2NfNJWLbGm-IQNPvWNxuQ/s400/DSC05539.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458252198606106850" /></a><br /><br />I live a pretty great life. I have survived a lot of negative situations and people and not only made it through but got better because I went through the tough stuff. I am transparent with who I am. I admit my mistakes and my issues and all my flaws (and there are plenty) and I strive to not make the same mistakes twice. I genuinely care about those in my life and would throw myself in front of a bus to save anybody I care about. I wear my heart on my sleeve and feel others peoples pain as if it were mine. I love my children unconditionally and am blessed with their presence in my life. I have friends that enrich my life. I have a huge family that loves me.The list is vast and wide of all the blessings that make my life so.....soo....incredible.Shari Babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05361163801035879250noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36121168.post-45358843193085193202010-03-30T20:49:00.000-07:002010-03-30T20:57:32.154-07:00Fulfilling a Dream....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDpFphAHyT6k2Vfm73JjIkyA1earv2xqnfEKnHGRnQUejVcwh_cCa1QZWCL4v_gEFTz4dbGRs5ixNSNLSUJlIvKeUT_cgcuNaIb1Qvzn5B7cfAXn_kA4WKb-vUgZpMgN-ZRIik3g/s1600/DSC05566.JPG"><img style="float:left;
