Autumn's Blog: Triathlon Update
http://autumnabruner.blogspot.com/2011/03/triathlon-update.html
Saturday, March 5, 2011. I made a couple of significant milestones this week, training for my mini-tri. First, on Wednesday, for the first time ever, I swam 4 laps without stopping. That's the full 200 meters that I need for the tri. Exactly one month before the race. Hallelujah! Then, today, I did my own little mini-tri at the gym. 200-meter swim, 5-mile bike (on a stationary bike), and 1.5-mile run. It was very hard, but I did it! Anyway, one month to go, and I'm starting to get excited for it! Subscri...

Autumn's Blog: Disney Parks Part 1
http://autumnabruner.blogspot.com/2012/03/disney-parks-part-1.html
Wednesday, March 28, 2012. Disney Parks Part 1. So, I decided to blog about it. This way, no one can tell me to shut up. You can just stop reading when you get bored (if you’ve even made it this far). Of course, there are people out there who have been many more times than I have, and I’m not claiming to be an expert. I’m just sharing what I’ve learned and noticed through my many visits. The Young Child Experience:. Good), the whole experience definitely is worth it. The other options for seeing prin...

Autumn's Blog: I did it!!
http://autumnabruner.blogspot.com/2011/05/i-did-it.html
Monday, May 23, 2011. Okay, it was nearly two months ago, but I'm finally reporting on the triathlon. I did it! I completed the mini-tri in just short of an hour. Literally. As in, 59 minutes and 40 seconds. Go me! My sister, Emily, and I headed down to St. George on Friday and stayed with our college roommate and her family. It was a blast to see them, and we stayed up way too late chatting, considering I was planning to kill myself the next day, but it was definitely worth it! The swim actually went mu...

Autumn's Blog: March 2010
http://autumnabruner.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 29, 2010. Days Four and Five. Well, my pictures don't seem to be loading, so here's a blog with no pics. Yesterday, we went to Versailles, which was incredible. I can't believe how absolutely huge it is. And the "gardens" are even bigger. Crazy. Now it's time to get ready to leave tomorrow. We have to be outside our hotel at 8:15 in the morning for our shuttle to the airport. We'll see how that goes. Saturday, March 27, 2010. Another Exhausting but Fun Day. After that, we went to the Ile Sa...

Autumn's Blog: Snowed In
http://autumnabruner.blogspot.com/2011/02/snowed-in.html
Tuesday, February 8, 2011. I spent last week staying with my nieces and nephews in Wisconsin while their parents went to Cancun. While I expected it to be cold (it is, after all, February. in Wisconsin.), I wasn't exactly expecting the biggest storm in who-knows-how-long. The snow started on Tuesday. By the time I picked up my niece from school, it was hard to see more than a few feet ahead, and people were sliding off everywhere. The school district announced that Wednesday would be a snow day.

Autumn's Blog: November 2009
http://autumnabruner.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 18, 2009. I've been thinking a lot lately about little memories I have from my childhood. Just random things that have nothing to do with anything, but that make me smile when I remember them. I thought I would share some of them here. I have memories of getting up out of bed for one reason or another and finding my parents sitting on the front porch, enjoying the cool evening air and chatting together. Depending on my reason for getting up, they would either tell me to get back t...

Autumn's Blog: July 2010
http://autumnabruner.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 14, 2010. When I was young, I was always surprised about my mom’s reasons for wishing summer was over. Of course, as a kid, summer was the best time ever. Months of absolutely nothing to do except play. Which, of course, we did consistently, and never, ever got bored…. And as I child, I thought, “Slow down? How could anything get slower than summertime? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. My Life in Pieces. Six LDS Writers and A Frog. Joseph - Rocket Politics. Twilight, ...

Autumn's Blog: September 2011
http://autumnabruner.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 27, 2011. So, I guess it shouldn't be too surprising that it's taken me this long to figure out that the same thing works with eating and exercise. Huh. Go figure. Turns out, if you keep tabs on what you're eating and get exercise in, you actually start to feel better. Your cholesterol goes down, your metabolism goes up, you start sleeping better, and you can play with nieces and nephews without passing out from lack of oxygen. Weird, right? Then again, could just be pipe dreams.
