100 Things

  1. I always read the About page on the blogs I read
  2. I like to know a little about the person who writes it
  3. And yet, I’m finding it difficult to write about myself
  4. I had a blog once before
  5. I wrote a total of 5 posts in one month before I abandoned it altogether
  6. It stuck around on the interweb for about 18 months before I finally deleted it
  7. I procrastinate
  8. This habit has caused me many, many problems
  9. And yet, somehow I am incapable of breaking myself from it
  10. I also used to hit the snooze button on my alarm clock repeatedly
  11. But I broke myself from that habit eventually
  12. It was a dream of mine to live in Australia
  13. Not just to visit, but to live

  15. I love to exercise
  16. But I still find it difficult to motivate myself to do it
  17. I always feel good after I go to the gym
  18. Must be the endorphins

  20. But I still want to participate in a 5k race, working my way up to a half-marathon
  21. This is illogical
  22. I love weight lifting and resistance exercise
  23. It is a pet peve of mine when women don’t lift weights because they think they will “bulk up”
  24. I could go on and on about misconceptions people have about exercise
  25. But I wont, because it would take up the remainder of the 100 things
  26. And this is not meant to be an exercise blog
  27. I started cycling and trail rides with my boyfriend in the Summer of 2007
  28. This was a lot more fun than I thought it would be.
  29. I participated in  the Late Ride in the city of Chicago
  30. It was really cool
  31. I randomly saw a friend from college there that I hadn’t spoke to in almost 6 years at the starting line

  49. His name is Titanium
  50. I call him Titan most of the time

  54. I met my boyfriend on an online dating site
  55. He’s not crazy
