Back to it!

     Well, it's been almost a month since my last blog post. I have been so busy getting back into the swing of things and getting over the summer camp depression (if you were there...you know). I have yet to get back to boot camp since I have been busy (I will be back in October Jess) but I have been able to keep up with my workouts...kinda.  I have been challenging a few friends, right now is "planktember" so i'm in a planking war with a few friends around the US and I have been going for runs with Kevin to prepare for my 10 miler in...15 days (shit).  My training process has been a weekly 2 short run, a medium run, and a long run every Saturday...Well, that's what it says in my planner. We'll see how this turns out...my photo at the finish line might be me crawling over the line.

        We made it through "tropical rainstorm" Issac with no damage to the house, cars, or us!!! Other than  losing the copious amounts of food in my fridge (jokes on you if you thought I had food in my fridge) and not having power for 5 days, we did perfectly fine. In fact we left the west bank on Wednesday night in the middle of the storm and came downtown to my wonderful parents apartment with power and Lafitte just 2 blocks away (I had a hurricane in light of the situation). The storm was more like a nice long rainy labor day vacay!!! Kevin said his proudest moment was when the power went out and he asked me to put anything I wanted to save from the fridge into the ice chest...I proceeded to the fridge, grabbed all the beer, put it in the ice chest, and then I went back to the couch... i'm such a lady!


          In other news I accomplished a goal I have been trying to reach for quite awhile!!! I finished a 5k in under 30 mins!!!!! YAY!!!! Here are a few photos from the saints run!

I have taken a full time sales and eventually training position with a gym here in town,  I filled out the paperwork and I should start in just a few weeks! I am really hoping that this is a good fit for me and works out well, I am ecstatic to be working with all kinds of people and in an environment that I truly enjoy!
