Update: May Fitness Challenge (05/09-05/15)

So…I have excitingly abrupt news.

I’m moving out of my apartment in about 2 weeks! It was an impromptu decision that was basically made…today. There’s nothing at all wrong with my apartment; I have the best neighbors I could ever ask for (two of which will be my neighbors next year too, if all goes well! &lt;3), but the prospect of living with my best friend here and not having to pay rent was too good to pass up. I’m moving to the farm*! <3

*When I told my friend, “I’m moving to the shelter!,” he was momentarily concerned because it sounded like I was either (a) homeless or (b) an abuse victim, so he suggested that I amend the statement to ‘farm.’  Since both are equally accurate, I’m goin’ with it.

Waiting for Mom to come home! (She’s adopted me as the daughter she never had. <3)

• 20 minutes of power-walking through a bunch of airports (my trajectory was SF => Pittsburg => DC => Lewisburg)
• Running around with the cats on the farm + vacuuming (~10 minutes?)

• 4×100 bridges
• 5×2-min. Supermans
• 5 minutes Tahitian practice

May 11

• 30 minutes cleaning apartment/running errands

• 1.5 hours (aka the time it took me to finish 300 practice questions) powerwalking on a treadmill at 7% incline

It’s finally beautiful outside, but I can’t run out there because (a) allergies and (b) I can’t concurrently study. :[ sigh!

This was on the way to my mailbox. :O

Since I forgot to take a picture for the day, here’s my adorable roommate! I may be kidnapping her to Kentucky next year as my foster kitty. <3
