Pink Poodle Prints: March 2013
http://poodlereed.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 19, 2013. This is a public service announcement to let everybody know that Bexie is getting a birthday do-over. All she ever wanted was to be able to make herself a fancy birthday cake. Seriously. this is all she wanted? But due to a biking injury, no cake was to be had. Therefore, her birthday for the year of 2013 will be on April 19. And it will most certainly involve fancy cake. (Which she made for herself.). Sunday, March 17, 2013. And, for your viewing pleasure:. Finishing strong....

Pink Poodle Prints: January 2013
http://poodlereed.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 31, 2013. My nursing school applications are due tomorrow. The feeling of elation at having them fully submitted might rival the elation that I will feel when (if) I get accepted. I have scheduled myself a nice massage this weekend to celebrate. Actual email from a student:. Dear Ms. Reed,. I will need to take the torture quiz on Friday during my study hall. In case you were wondering, he meant to write torque. Sunday, January 20, 2013. I have way too many friends and family in Utah tha...

Pink Poodle Prints: Lately
http://poodlereed.blogspot.com/2013/10/lately.html
Sunday, October 13, 2013. So I know you have all been on the edge of your seats wondering if I got a perfect score on my pathophysiology exam. I did not. I missed two stupid questions. And I mean it when I said they were stupid questions. I had the answers to both written on sheet but I didn't read carefully and got a little cocky and forgot to double-check. Dang. My marathon is in exactly 4 weeks! The government just shut down? Is that even allowed? And I get to have an excuse to be slow. Woot woot!

Pink Poodle Prints: June 2013
http://poodlereed.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 18, 2013. Utah Valley Marathon race recap. This was absolutely my favorite marathon I've run so far. Partly because I finished 21 minutes faster than my last marathon (3:34:12) and qualified for the Boston marathon, but the course itself was absolutely gorgeous. When I lived in Utah, I don't think I ever realized how beautiful the mountains are! I brought along a new running treat this time: Huma chia energy gels! Here I am around mile 10(ish? Crossing the finish line! Friday, June 07, 2013.

Pink Poodle Prints: November 2013
http://poodlereed.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 20, 2013. Two items of note. 1 Today I registered for my first ultramarathon. I will be running the Seneca Creek Greenway Trail 50k. On March 8. I am very excited. It is just 20 minutes from my house and should be beautiful. 2 My pathophysiology class is comprised of about 45 second degree nursing students, 45 traditional undergrad nursing students, and 45 human science students. Today, our professor conducted an informal survey to see who was in class. The results? Totally uneventful...

Thursday, October 17, 2013. Clarendon days 5k/10k pictures. Remember how one of my favorite things about running in Pacer's races is the free pictures? They just posted the pics from my race a few weeks ago and since I know you all love seeing running pictures, I am going to be so nice and share them with you. I know, I know. Your day just got so exciting. Sunday, October 13, 2013. They just pop over during home room.) Unfortunately, I spilled my water bottle on my laptop the day before my presentati...

Pink Poodle Prints: diva women's half marathon race review
http://poodlereed.blogspot.com/2013/09/diva-womens-half-marathon-race-review.html
Friday, September 20, 2013. Diva women's half marathon race review. Well, this was without a doubt the worst race ever. I am still annoyed by it, and it's been a whole week. After about the halfway point, we finally got onto wider roads and I got into more of a groove. This was, without a doubt, the hilliest race I have ever run. The scenery was gorgeous, and one of the neighborhoods threw a big block party and all came out and cheered for us, which totally made my day. Would have been even better! Thing...

Pink Poodle Prints: April 2013
http://poodlereed.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 29, 2013. Nike Women's Half Marathon Race Recap. So, last week's Parkway Classic was one of my favorite races ever. One that I will definitely be running again (probably annually). The Nike Half Marathon, however, is a race that, while I enjoyed it, it was probably a one-time deal for me. I got the necklace, I am happy. Things I liked about the race:. The tshirt and necklace are awesome. The shirt looks nice and fits great (unlike most race shirts). Sunday, April 28, 2013. Also, this is (ho...

Pink Poodle Prints: what a day
http://poodlereed.blogspot.com/2013/09/what-day.html
Sunday, September 29, 2013. The most amazing things happened yesterday. 1 I ran in the Clarendon Days 5k and 10k, and received my favorite race shirt I've ever gotten. 2 Joe showed up after the races with Dr. Pepper AND Gatorade! My two favorite post-race drinks. 4 I found out that I have $150 of credit at the bike store from my last bike purchase! 5 I got a perfect score on my latest pathophysiology practice test. Hopefully the same thing will happen on the real test tomorrow. Thats a great day!
