Sketching

At night, when I don't want to read and I'm sick of netflix, I do drawings. They aren't good, but I feel good looking at them. They are mostly copied from NGS photos:

These are from the art class I took 2 years ago:

A Day in the Life

Since I can't seem to think of anything more interesting to blog about these days, I'll give my many followers an idea about what its like to live the life of Karen.

I get up in the morning at about 7:30 am. I make my delicious breakfast of scrambled eggs, a cup of veggies, and a slice of cheese (with extra hot sauce of course) and my days worth of spinach salad, cottage cheese, and sliced vegetables.

Then I straighten my hair, just like this:

















I do this because otherwise my hair looks like a bunch of cotton balls are glued to my head.

Then I usually lie back on my bed for 20 minutes and try not to fall asleep. Why don't I just wake up later? ... I don't know.

I walk to work, trying to avoid the homeless people (because I always feel guilty when I walk past them), and gaze at the beautiful ocean:

Okay, so maybe I've never seen a turtle. 

I rush to work 5 minutes late, and spend the next 4 hours trying to look like I'm working, pretending not to go on Facebook, and zoning out. 

Then at 1:00 its off to the gym!

Getting stronger, getting tougher!

The rest of my day is spent zoning out, hunting for sweet treats around the office, and wikipedia-ing. 

I then walk home. Dinner is usually something delicious, like shepherd's pie, stir fry, some sort of soup and biscuits, etc. 

I also read. A lot. I think I'm reading book #264 at this point? It's gotten a bit out of hand. I should really pick up some other hobbies. I also like to paint and draw, but I've kind of gotten out of the habit of doing that lately.

So that's a day in the life. So exciting. My own life bores me to tears. Hopefully something fun will happen this summer!

Marathoners

A marathon is a 42 kilometre race. The fastest ever finishing time for a marathon was done by Haile Gebrselassie of Ethiopia, who ran the race in 2 hours and 3 minutes (!!!!!!!)


The average finishing times for marathons are  4 hours 32 minutes for men and 5 hours 6 minutes for women.


I would love to be able to say one day that I ran a marathon. It would be a huge achievement, considering that I get exhausted after just walking for 5 hours, let alone running it ... I can do about 5.5 km before I'm done. 42 km seems beyond reason. 

Not to mention that you get a rockin' bod. I would kill for this body ... but would I run for it?
