Be sure to smile and speak from your heart and tell the people you care about how you feel because sometimes in this lifetime, you only get 1 chance.

3 days till Lady Gaga eats my heart Haha
Hoping my stubhub tix is legit or im gonna be PISSsssssed! I get my money back, but still for a general admission ticket to haul my ass 2 hrs away from home to drive there and wait in line for hrs in the freezin cold would kill me! I am 99% its real, but of course I cant find out till the sec they scan the ticket! lol Sometimes the have problems reading the ticket (thank God for digital tickets) and they just let people through....pt of me hopes thats the case, just in case.
If all goes well, I will be able to wait inside the warm casino and be front row center. I am more xcited for this show than I am for any other gaga show. Its her more theatrical and prop oriented, chereographed, and best songs....
Being that the venue is so small, even if I had a nyc ticket, its soooo much better I am seeing her @ AC bc forget it, RC I wouldnt be able to get close AT ALL> hate that venue for concerts.... Welp, POP will eat my Heart in 3 days!! <3
1st hike of the year!
So I met this guy off fb and the weird NJ forums bc I am looking for diff things to do other than clubbing and new friends to meet in 2010. I love hiking + adventure and thought this would be exciting! SUPER pumped :D
Hello all, The next hike is the Rahway River Greenway! This is sure to be an interesting hike with a great amount of diversity!We will be meeting at 8:30 am at a municipal parking lot in Union NJ at the following GPS coordinates. 40°41'33.13"N 74°16'19.80"WTo get there from Rt 78 heading east, take exit 49a to merge onto Rt 124/Springfield Ave. Continue on this to an intersection and turn left on Rt 82/Morris Ave.Follow Morris Ave/Rt 82 east and turn right on Stuyvesant Ave. Keep going left where Elmwood Ave goes right. Soon, turn left on Wewanna Ave across from a church building. The parking lot will soon be on your right hand side. Once we meet here the plan is to shuttle cars down to near the end of the Rahway River south of Rahway. I've found plenty of good parking down there, and we'll take as few cars as possible after meeting.Very briefly, we will walk along some railroad tracks and soon come to the Rahway River where there is a lift bridge. Rather than continueing on the tracks, we turn left under the Garden State Parkway under a bridge paralleling the river into a park. There are paved trails which will lead us to a brackish meadow. We'll be crossing this marsh meadow on a giant concrete pipe!We'll have to do a short road walk to the middle of Rahway, then we pick up some urban greenways that are very well done, some with boardwalks made of treks, paved and unpaved pathways, and more.The greenway has an intense action plan for the future including trails and recreation, some of which has already been implemented. Along the way we'll pass several dams and lakes.The river will take us north from Rahway into Cranford, then to Kenilworth and Union.Our good buddy Kyle Zalinsky will be leading us through part of this one, as these are his stomping grounds! He'll certainly show us points of interest and give us some of the history of the Church we'll be meeting near.We will also take turns pushing our backpacks around in a Kohls shopping cart during the course of the day!

2010 Goals
My main goal is to keep age grouping away as in just 3 months I will be 24, the last yr in my age category. Once I leave this category, its gonna be a whole lot tougher.
Then I compete against those fast ass women who run 6 min miles for 13 miles.... sorry
not me. I think at that point, I have more bike power.
No one knows how bad I want to be in California right now. I wish I can just move out there and live with people and not work lol....
Being a trainer is tough, real tough, but I am glad I know how to train, injury free.
Ever since I started racing triathlons in 2005, I really grew into how to race. 2005-2006 are seasons I went through to build my base, my racing resume to prove to myself that I can do it. From Sprint to Olympic to half IM and I did. But the thing was I wasn't focused on my personal best, I was just focusing on completion.
2008 was the season where I decided to go nuts and I raced practically every single weekend of the spring, summer, and fall months from May-Oct. Being that said, I raced diff distances, one weekend I might have been doing a sprint, then followed by a half IM. It made no sense and I barely had anytime to train correctly. Eventually it caught up to me and in Oct 2008 after I completed my 2nd half IM ever just missing breaking 6 hrs bc of stomach issues/knee pain, I injured my knees for 2 months.
The only savor I had was the pool, I got in that pool every day. My knees where so shot from all the racing and no recovery that I couldn't even cycle. I had permanent damage to my knees, my friend lynda asks me why I don't do the empire state building stair race anymore, its bc I am too afraid of injuring my knees. Plus, that race is some serious shit, you either do it full ass or no ass. The 2 yrs I raced it I spend 3 months training up various parking deck steps in the freezing cold at night, scaring the shit out of people lol, stadium steps, treadmill inclines, and even the steps in my 3 fam house. Yea, I ran up 86 flights of now nycs tallest building in 16 mins, but boy that training was rough and not fun.
Anyway, so 2008 was def my learning experience year, that btw 05'06' I already had my volume in, there was no reason why I had to go that nuts on the races. I think it was more because I had an independent study in motivations of triathletes (see how obsessed I am) but instead of using all the emails I had gotten from oh lets see, 6 months of racing, with no responses, I had to do a random fb interviews. lol
2009 was def my peak yr every single race I placed and won my ag, there were a few I came in 2nd, but I would take that bc they were pretty respectable races. It was a great feeling to see myself place consistently and grow faster in all 3 events. I think if anything my swimming speed was a little weaker than normal, but I think it more has to do with getting disoriented bc I cant see and I get dizzy sometimes during the swim of the race, very dizzy actually bc of my low bp.
I think what sucked most about 2009 was my bike crash. Never have I ever gotten into such a bad spill. It was all my fault, I was racing this super sprint tri which I was lit on a role for top 3 women overall and I was rolling so deep on the bike that I remember being the first women. You know when you get in that zone, I was def in the zone, but too much I'm afraid that caused me to crash. It was a circuit loop and I had my head between the aereobars and there was a huge pothole that swallowed me whole. It was quite strange bc we repeated the same bike circuit, the road was just paved, and I saw nothing hazardous during the entire course. Otherwise, I def wouldn't have been riding that carelessly.
I wiped out so badly that I got knocked out, broke my nose, I have scares on my knees, shoulder, chin bc I cut it open so bad I needed stitches etc. I cracked my helmet and my aluminum bike frame w carbon forks and like an idiot I let my bike store throw it out. There goes 5 yrs of racing w it down the drain. Yes, 5 yrs and I STILL don't have a racing bike.
See, I might not be top 3 overall, but I def think I am good enough to get sponsored. Not for the sake of being sponsored, but so someone can help me pay for my races that I can't afford. But you see, NO ONE will help me, no coach , no parents, no mentor, no one. Its all on me. I have some huge goals in 2010 and it is as small as paying for the races which is an accomplishment for me bc they are so damn expensive.
My ultimate goal is to qualify for clearwater, I think I am going to attempt to race a half marathon sometime in April, prob the flat jersey shore one so I can see how fast I can go. I have various prep races planned and then the big ones of course.
I have allowed plenty of time to recover and train and save and I am going at it hard. Hard and focused and being smart. I hope to GOD I get my racing bike soon, because it my life, in my family, I am promised 1 thing for 5 yrs, I finally graduate college and I get NOTHING. Being a triathlete who races, places and travels with no racing bike. But Hey, I got zipp wheels after 5 yrs....
2010 my year I WILL be behind you, watch for me!

Cancun Hotels Decisions Decisons...
I think more than St. Criox, once I get a job again, I am def lookin forward to going to Cancun in Sept for another shot qualify for the Clearwater champs in Nov. I have been wanting to go there forever where as if I wasn't racing, I prob would never have even thought of St. Criox. Besides the fact that there is 10x more to do in cancun even tho its 10x more xpensive.
So I am trying to decide between these 2 hotels, The Sun Palace and the Dream Resort. Both are similar, have magnificent pools that are right on the beach and our luxury period. The Sun Palace has higher ratings, I think its more upscale, where as the Dream reminds me of the Atlantis hotel in the Bahamas meaning the resort seems to offer more activities than the other. Here are the photos:

Alicia Keys Exp
So I decided to rehash and go back to Dec 18th bc I want to reminse. This day was the release party for the 'Element of Freedom' at the M2 loune in ny, a club I often like because of its loungy yet amazing dancing space. Unlike Pacha, they don't jam pack everybody in to a point where you can't move, yet it definitly does get crowded. There are enough bathrooms where there is never a line and the bar is huge with plenty of fruity selections which I love.
I went w my friend Steph, and I didnt know what to think. It was a cold night and we were first in line. Unlike the Greenhouse, which was wack btw, we even got let in right away w the vips. I knew in that moment it was gonna be a great night. So we were scouting the club for Akeys only we didn't see her. Then she caught my eye in this other 'vip' area which isn't norm the vip area bc everytime I have been there, the upstairs they rope off.
We tried sneaking in, but unsuccessfully failed lol. I wasn't quick thinking on my toes, and couldn't blurt out a random table number fast enough. Only it was pretty obvi that we didn't have vip bands on either lol. My xcuse, they fell off lmao.... But I wasn't to dissapointed because I had good vibes that something rare and xciting was about to happen, just moments later.
I said to my friend watch Alicia roll out on the dance fl stage and do a surprise performance. Literally just that had happened and it happened so fast, I still can't believe it. Since I had that thought in my head already and at the moment it was actually happening, I was prepared on what to do to get my moment. I was already on the catwalk so I said screw it. I slipped between the 15 security that was up there only to stand nxt to Alicia.
I met her once before on a tv show, but nothing compared to that night. I slipped her my business card bc you never know, and she started performing. I was singing so loud at one point she put the mic to my mouth. It was a cool moment to know that there was hundreds of people below shooting pictures and I was standing there with her and 15 burly security guards. She went to leave and took a photo with me before she left and slipped out of the building. That was a night to remember forever.
Free Workouts
This is called the row pushup. Basically you grab 5-15 Lb dumbells, whatever suits your strength level. You line them up and actually hold them on the down phase of the pushup. As you come up, you need to balance on 1 arm and do a row motion with the opposite arm. It might seem easy, but you defintly need the strength and balance at the same time as the endurance to pushup then row back to back.
:)
The Inbetween
So who ever is reading this, GO SEE THE LOVELY BONES~! It comes out wide this coming fri Jan 15th and it was so good that I am reading the book and just might see it again with my cousins. What a beautifully made film thats all I gotta say.
I really liked it because it combined several elements that spark my interest in film. The supernatural, the unknown, dying, afterlife, mystery, murder, suspense, and ghosts or spirits of course. I feel like right now in my life I am in the inbetween. I have never not worked, I have always worked since I was 17. I never knew how tough it is to now get a new job until I don't have one at all. I guess that goes with everything in life.
I am gonna stop going out clubbing as much, kinda like skydiving which I have done 3x, I'm kinda burned. I need a constant change in my activies to keep me stiumlated. I think my 2010 focus in my fun entertainment is going to be to take several road trips, esp when it starts getting warmer out again and take hikes and photograph what I see. I am gonna take advantage of my adentourus heart and just do.
See I also used clubbing unlike the norm, I never did nor do I do drugs, I dont drink too much, I go for the music and the dancing. So when I do go, its like a work out in itself bc I am legit NON stop dancing lol. I never used to feel so comfortable dancing, forget it, when I was 18 I just stood in 1 spot. In a way, its like being a comfortable dancer has opened me up in several ways. I feel like I am less uptight and more relaxed.
I just posted my 2010 races, I cut them down to 1-2 Max a month bc of my money situation. I am going to start the yr off with several track races to work on my speed as a base. Then come march I am going to do a couple biathlons to work on my transitions and leg power. Hopefully by then, I will finally have my race bike... I am trying to get a couple jobs lined up in Chelsea the heart of my people lol. Maybe if that works out, the change of the general population of members will better suit me there.
I am really xcited about going to St. Criox, only the only thing that is set is the actually race. I have no flight or hotel yet, but as soon as I pay my parents back and I save a little bit I am bookin. I kno living in the city and finally moving out of Jersey has been on the top of my list for quite some time, but I def want to get this race squared away first. I designed my race schedule in such a way where I am going to be home June, July, and Most of August working and saving. I am gonna cruise the race in June maybe even take top 3 women overall this time bc I have seen such a upward jump in my performance in local elite races. (dont have to worry about trying to win those zipp wheels anymore for 5 yrs lol)
Well, thats all for now....
