An Update, to keep me accountable.

So you know that post I wrote like a month ago, saying how I just wanted to get fit? Yes, well I haven't done so well at it. I finally started working towards it this week. I think what I really needed was a goal, and I've kind of set one for myself. If I'm around this summer, my sister and i want to run the color run. It's a 5k but it's not like a serious one, you could walk the whole thing if you wanted to, but basically you just super tye-dyed. it's awesome. So since I can barely run right now here's the plan I'm going to try and follow. I actually mis-read the first week, so I'm actually doing run a minute walk a minute. But anyway, I need to be able to run a 5k (roughly 3 miles) in 30 minutes hopefully but July 14th! Which I'm well aware it is more than 8 weeks away but I figure I need more time to get in shape anyway.


Eventually, I want to be a person that absolutely needs to run everyday. I use "run" in a loose term, would I absolutely love to run 3-4 miles daily? Yeah, I would, but that might not be doable so if I could even walk or "run" 2 miles without feeling like I'm going to pass out by the end of summer, well then I think I'll call that pretty successful. But truly, at some point in my life I would love to be able to call my self a runner. For now though, I'll stick with just trying to keep going to the gym 3 days a week.  

Maybe after this 5k, I'll run a 10k in like a year. I think I just need to set goals for myself. I never want to be a marathoner. That just sounds like a terrible time. But this short distances, I think I can do that. 

If you have some goal I could use to keep myself motivated though, let me know! 
And I say this, because I know there's a bunch of you out there that don't say anything! I can see my pageview on a daily basis people, so introduce yourselves!

The Grammy's

Oh yes, I'd like to talk about the Grammy's. But I could care less about who wore what and whether or not they looked good wearing it. What I'd like to talk about is the performances. Oh the performances.

I've never really been an awards show person, in fact this is the first time I've ever actually watched the Grammy's, but I just feel like music has come SO far recently that I loved the show.


First, Fun.



Fun - Carry On - Grammys 2013 by IdolxMuzic I was never really a big fan of Fun simply because I think they're SEVERELY overplayed on the radio but I went to their concert back in January because Andrew Mcmahon was opening and now I kind of love them. And the rain in this video? Oh it's the greatest.

My favorite part though is when they won Record of the year for "We Are Young" Nate(the lead singer) goes "I regret writing that chorus, if you're watching us in HD right now, you can see we're not young."

Dierks Bentley/Miranda Lambert

So I really absolutely hate Miranda Lambert, I just really can't get into her stuff, but I absolutely LOVE Dierks (and he's looking especially cute) so this mash-up was just okay.

Kelly Clarkson

I just really wish I could belt like her. I mean I have a voice but no where near that.

Last but absolutely not least,
Maroon5/Alicia Keys.



Maroon and Keys Duet by dm_501efe021d911

Oh be still my heart. Adam Levine is so fine. I've just recently come back to my love of Maroon 5, and I've never really been into Alicia Keys, but let me tell you, I can belt "Girl on fire" like nobody's business. And this Mash-up, ohhhh it is something fierce.


And those are my top 4 favorite performances. The Bob Marley tribute was pretty sweet but since I don't really listen to any Marley I didn't want to post it.
