I'm back in the blogging world!

Well after my 7 month hiatus from the blogging world, I am back. So my last blog talked about training for a triathlon. Well I am so proud to say that my friend Sara Butash and I complete a sprint distance triathlon on August 23rd. The training wasn't too hard, but we were rarely in the mood to go to the gym. We were swimming so much that my hair turned green and I also got to the point where I loved running (unfortunately that didn't last long). Our triathlon was in Longmont so we drove down the night before because we had to be at the site at 7:00am! We swam about half a mile in Union Reservoir, biked 12 miles, and then ran 3.2 miles. It is nowhere near as difficult as an Ironman triathlon, but it was still something I can't believe I did. I was never a swimmer and I HATED running. My next goal is a half marathon next summer so I am gonna get back into running, which I am excited about.

I haven't been blogging because there wasn't really anything to blog about! Last semester was the semester from hell! I took 18 hours and had 4 group projects. One was an ad campaign for Wells Fargo and took so much time, but it was great experience. This semester I am only doing 15 hours, which gives me a lot of time to get back in the gym and maybe get a job! It was supposed to be my last semester, but after much kicking and screaming, I have decided to add a finance emphasis to my marketing emphasis and spanish minor. I love math so I think finance will be a good edition, even if it means I won't graduate until next December.

Not much as to report. I have to start another blog for my e-marketing class, but I don't know what to write about. I have to pick something I'm passionate about, but i just don't know what to choose. I was maybe thinking about doing a blog about cooking (yes, Julie and Julia is my inspiration), but I really wanna start cooking and it would be a good excuse. I could also do something political like health care reform, but let's be honest, that could get ugly! Any other ideas???

The pictures aren't in the right order, but whatever.
