Posted on February 1, 2012 by Mica

Thanks for all of your nice comments about my video. I’ll post another one eventually, once I learn some new chords…. So on Monday morning, Jessica and I went to the gym to pump some iron. We mostly concentrated on … Continue reading →

Posted on January 22, 2012 by Mica

Last night, Ryan had some people over to his apartment. I’m sad that most of the people in my program will be graduating and heading off to grand ESL adventures in the spring (Except you, Kayla. You’re stuck with meeee!). … Continue reading →

Big final project due tomorrow at 1pm, yikes! However, I wanted to share some snowflakes that I made this past week and weekend. I have a hard time imagining mirror images, as evidenced by the following snowflake. I tried to make … Continue reading →

The dawn of a new era

Posted on November 13, 2011 by Mica

Last night, Jessica and I attempted to dress like non-grad students. Both of us, as it turns out, hate shopping for most things. The event turned into a whirlwind tour-de-mall, wherein we tried to maximize our purchases and minimize our … Continue reading →

Week Events!

Posted on November 6, 2011 by Mica

The boyfriend and I spent Halloween with Brian, Kya, Dan, and Alejandro. (Triple dating, what?) Though the evening was pretty much devoid of trick-or-treaters, we enjoyed the holiday by watching scary movies and carving a pumpkin. Nice hat, Bri-bri. Bodger … Continue reading →

Then I learned how to ride my bike.

Posted on October 5, 2011 by Mica

This morning, I ran three miles, my first run since Sunday. 10:04 9:42 9:10 Like usual, it took the whole run for my legs to loosen up, but once I got my stride going, things were good. This afternoon, Jessica … Continue reading →

Deer Creek Fall Challenge 2011

Posted on October 4, 2011 by Mica

On Saturday  morning, Jessica loaded the bikes on her car. Those are some sexy bicycles, for sure. Then we hurtled eastbound down the highway, and I tried not to look at the speedometer. (Just kidding, Jessica. Sort of.) Once into … Continue reading →

Women’s Fitness 5K

Posted on September 25, 2011 by Mica

This Saturday was the 26th annual Women’s Fitness 5K, which was good because I needed redemption from last week’s Orchard Day’s 5K. Even better, Cassandra and Jin both trained for this race–their very first 5K. On Friday, Cassandra came over, … Continue reading →

Orchard Days

Posted on September 18, 2011 by Mica

Yesterday, the boyfriend, Ryan, and I ran the Savoy Orchard Days 5K. This was my first race of “the season,” and it was not a pretty one. Let’s just say that my summer of low mileage and non-existent speedwork did … Continue reading →

Weekend whimsy

Posted on August 28, 2011 by Mica

The first week of the semester is finished! It was a busy one, and the weekend was no exception. Saturday morning kicked off with a five-miler. My legs felt pretty shot, so my pace suffered accordingly: 9:57 9:52 9:49 9:45 … Continue reading →
