Ready to Ship, Waiting for payment (because of the blizzard our mail is very backed up so if you sent it, don’t worry). If I told you I would send you a paypal invoice please e-mail me. I can still do paypal but they are charging me fees so that means less money to LLS so if you wouldn’t mind sending a check that would be great!

Ok so now that that’s done…we were in beautiful Baltimore and currently getting hit with MORE snow. Supposedly another 14-20 inches by tomorrow. ON TOP OF THE 4 FEET WE ALREADY HAVE! This is the most snow we’ve gotten…ever. Well maybe not ever. I bet the ice age had more but the most we’ve ever had in recorded history. I haven’t had class since last Thursday and my college has decided to close until NEXT MONDAY! This is like an early Spring Break I guess? And because we are private, we don’t have to make up snow days =) But yeah that whole global warming thing…I’ve been saying it was BS since the beginning but now I’m sure of it. Sorry Al. How’s that for an inconvenient truth?
My beautiful school covered in snow
Wouldn't want to be under that when those huge icicles fall...with my luck I would be.
More snow covered school...the chapel looks so pretty. That's where I want to get married btw.
Mary chillen in the blizzard
Luckily I was able to get a decent run in today! Running on the streets is a death wish. There’s barely drivable lanes, and definitely no shoulders. And sliding cars are bad news. So I stuck to the few shoveled side walks I could find. It was like running between 2 low walls.
classic "Katye shows in the snow" picture
Snow comes up to my knees. In plowed spots it comes up to my hip. And I'm 5'10.
I could only make it so far and I had an appointment with my awesome running coach Neal at the gym (first time since the half) so I headed for the gym. Had an awesome, butt kicking session and still felt good so I decided to put in a few more miles on the treadmill. I know lots of people seems to pick on the Nike+ system but I’ve always loved it so I decided to run with both Gracie and my Nike + and compare at the end.
Garmin pod on my left, Nike pod on my right
Gracie was so overjoyed to finally be getting some real action today =)
The verdict…
Well I’m still not completely used to Gracie yet and I accidently stopped her for a mile before realizing it so technically I ran 5 miles with her on, and 6 with the Nike. Oops. But anyway my average pace between the two was about 25 seconds faster on the +. I also noticed while running that the Nike seems to think I go a little faster than I really am when I’m running, and thinks I’m going slower than I really am when I’m slow jogging/walking, and I guess the two kind of balance themselves out. All in all, Gracie is more accurate for splits but I’m not giving up on my Nike +. I will probably continue to use both. I think that my Nike talks to me and encouraged me (gotta love hearing Lance Armstrong say “congrats this is your longest run yet!”) but I will stick on Gracie for accurate stats.
Well I guess thats it for now. Don’t forget about my Snow Day Giveaway!
Peace, Love, and Icicles!
So I know it will be much easier to link back to this fundraiser if I made it its own post, but well I’m lazy.

I’ll leave you with this striking resemblance…
Gracie as a "newborn"
me as a newborn. close to 10lbs. look more like sumo wrestler than a baby girl...
We have a similar roundness and pinkness to us don’t ya think?
Well Bawlmore done got hit with one heck of s snehewstorm, hon. Incase you don’t speak Baltimorese, Baltimore got hit with some serious snow. We were out of power from around 5 am this morning until 3pm (in which time I slept off some sickness and started reading 50/50 by Dean Karnazes, you know that crazy Ultramarathon man who runs hundreds of miles at a time just for the heck of it. This book is about his journey completely 50 marathons, in 50 states, in 50 days. In the book, I’ve only made it up to Day/marathon/state 8 and I already feel the exhaustion! I’ll let ya know how the book is when I finish but so far I love it. This guy isn’t human. I really like what he says on pg 7, “Runnin is much more than a good way to lose weight. It’s a cure fro depression and a potential path to personal growth and self-fulfillment. It’s my recipe for making this world a more harmonious home to the human species”. What do you guys think?
So anyway as I said, our power finally came back on about an hour ago so I was finally able to load some pictures and write up this post…here is the current view from our house…
Looking out the window...half of it is covered
I LOVE snow covered trees. Sorry for the little squares...took a few of these through the window screen
mailbox is almost gone
Esmeralda (brother's black Ford Escape) and Alice (my little silver Mustang) snowed in.
The deck
Luckily our (meaning my parents’) kitchen that has been in a state of demolition and chaos since Thankgsiving is pretty much complete so we can eat something other than microwave meals! All you mommy’s out there…apparently this is how it works. Once your kids go to college, you redo the house. At least that’s what my parents dad haha.
Not gunna lie, it looks awesome. This used to be two rooms, a kitchen and a formal dining room which no one ever used so they knocked down the wall and made the whole thing a kitchen
Alright so anyway how else did I spend my snowed in day…well for one thing once the TV came back on I found myself watching a show on Travel Channel called “Extreme Bathrooms” so yeah. I’ve pretty much done alot of nothing. I did, however, make this little collage from old cut up Runner’s Worlds and Running Times
As you can tell...I don't like Kara Goucher. At all.
I’m starting to feel like the roaming gnome in this commercial
So I’m feeling a bit better and debating giving my new baby girl, Gracie a test run by attempting the THIS kick ass treadmill workout that I found more on Melissa’s Blog. Not sure if I will make it through or not. Maybe I’ll adjust the speeds a bit?
How many of you wish you had one of these??
Anyway I gotta get back to watching Housewives of OC. Lynne’s daughter Alexa (who she is taking shopping!) just called her mother a b*tch, told her to kiss her a$$, and told her everything she says is bullsh*t. And what did Lynne do? Slap her silly, return everything she just bought for her daughter, ground her for a year, take away every privilege, make her apologize. She simply sighed, “Oh Alexa. You’re so dramatic”. Hmm. Way to hold firm Lynne!
The dog's eyes say it all. "Help me!"
Alright I’m off to do nothing! Did any of you guys get hit hard too?
PS: Has the magic number been hit HERE yet? Not telling…but I will tell you the number is under 25. So go comment…you might get a little something in your mailbox =)
Well hello there Blog World. Today is a very exciting day in my life. A day I have been waiting for for about 7 months now. A day I thought would never come as I longingly started off into the blog world and all of your splits and times. A day I convinced myself wasn’t necessary as I told myself “who needs wonderful amazing life changing motivating beautiful new best friend silly little gadgets anyway. It didn’t work. There has been a piece of me missing as a runner. A little spot on my wrist that can be filled my nothing but this wonderful little gem. Well ladies and gentlemen, Valentines Day came early. AMAZING BF J braved the huge snow storm hitting Baltimore this weekend, drove home from school in PA and dropped this little wonder into my arms.
Blog world…let me introduce you to my new beautiful little baby. Gracie. Gracie the Garmin FR60.
There she is calling out to me to rip that plastic and cardboard open and set her free!
You have no idea how good this felt.
I can’t wait to actually get to take her on a little spin. Lucky for me I have bronchitis and we are getting about 20 inches of snow this weekend. The Superbowl 5k I was supposed to run on Sunday was already been pushed to Valentine’s Day. So pretty much the universe doesn’t want me to run this weekend. OYYY. I’ll just have to sleep with my little Gracie instead.
Seriously…how amazing is my boyfriend. I never thought I would want a watch for Valentine’s day (at least one does encrusted in diamonds) but this is beyond exactly what I wanted and I’m SOOOOO excited. Thank you baby! (I know you don’t like it when I call you baby in public. But I’m too excited). Anyway in case you were wondering, here’s a bit of info on the Garmin F60.
The one I got (pink!) is actually part of a limited edition bundle pack. It works with a soft heart rate chest strap for HR and measures you mileage and pace surprisingly accurately through the included wireless foot pod (Garmin just updated it to be smaller).
Looks like they modeled it off the Nike+ sensor
I haven’t been able to check this out yet but from all the reviews I’ve been reading all over the place…its pretty much completely accurate right out of the box (aka no calibrating!) One of these reviews HERE says…
“I was curious how the FR60’s wireless foot pod stands up to the Garmin 405’s GPS unit to measure my runs outdoors. I strapped my 405 on one wrist and the FR60 on the other wrist. I slipped the wireless foot pod onto my shoelace ( you don’t have to unlace your shoes, yay!). I took them both on several runs and the verdict was… they were very similar in measuring distance. Within a few yards.”
Good enough for me =). Seriously I can’t wait to try this out. Oh how I love my little Gracie. I also finally invested in some Yaktrax Pros today. One of my marathoning friends from Philadelphia uses them to run in the snow and ice and loves them so hopefully they might help me get out there in the snow some. I’ll let you know how that goes. Anyone ever use these before?
Alright now onto the more important aspect of this post. My featured blogger. Today I have chosen to feature Melissa aka Crazy or Determined (don’t you love the Blog title…I think all runners are a bit of both). She started her blog when she started training for her first half marathon to raise money for Big Brothers Big Sisters right around the time I started training/blogging as well. Our races were within 2 weeks of each other so we went through very similar training and fundraising woes and I always enjoy checking out her blog. Check out her blog and leave her some encouragement! We all know how hard it is to keep running after a race. There’s that what now? feeling. So go cheer her on! And say happy birthday!
That’s it for now! Keep the bondi band orders coming and please please please don’t forget about the BIG GIVEAWAY now with two runner up prizes.
Before I say anything/begin whining, is anyone in the maket for a new heart rate monitor? I bought a brand new Polar F11 (Pink Fizz color) a few months ago, used it once. So many programs and features going to wastes. Andddd I don’t think I will be needing it anymore. I think I might be getting a very special piece of “jewelry” this Valentine’s day from my main man. I’m also pretty sure it won’t involve, silver, gold, or gemstones however, it might need naming. So anyway I have a very nice and expensive fitness watch/virtual trainer/heart rate monitor sitting in its box (yep still in the box) going to waste so if anyone is interesting I am willing to give one of my awesome BlogHers or Hims (its pink but hey…wife/gf would love it) it for a much reduced price from the $159 price tag.
Come on guys...even Brit wears one...guess it helped her get back her "Britney abs"
Do you ever have one of those weeks where you just feel the world hates me. Before I get all dramatic I will say that I do in fact know I have a wonderful and blessed life. But I’m about to complain…so if that bothers you, go ahead and skip to the end.
I would like to add a huge NOTT to yesterdays list. ICE. And the school refusing to salt the student parking lots. The parking lot I keep my car at is on a nice little hill. Not only are the parking spots a “you know what” and a half to get in and out of at that lovely incline, but add some ice on top and you’ve got a wonderful recipe for disaster. Add Katye’s natural talent for getting hit with things (if someone throws a ball…or any other object for that matter, within 20 feet of my head…it will find a way to hit me in the head. I’m not kidding), bumping various extremities on things, twisting ankles, stubbing/breaking toes, and FALLING you have a wonder recipe for a major calamity (ok yes, I did just look up synonyms for disaster to find a big creative word). So yesterday I stopped by my house (which is only like 20 mins from school…I have the best of both worlds, home when I want to, school when I want to) to pick up a few things and finish a paper. Later that evening I headed to class and after class I realized I left my computer charger at home. BOO.
So I head back to my car in said parking lot to drive home. As I reach for the door of my car, I throw off my center of balance as my legs fly out from under me, arms flailing, doing this really awesome “baby Bambi on ice” dance, land rather hard on my hip, back/shoulder follows and hits pavement, hand skids along asphalt ripping skin off palm I land gracefully. In other words, Katye Fall Down Go Boom. Luckily it was late enough for no one to be around, and dark enough for no one from further away to see. I literally laid on the ice for a good few seconds wondering if I got a 10 from the Russian judge for totally sticking that landing, gather my self and bag, and get in the car and drive home…in rather soaked jeans.
I make it home without any more incidence, find my charger and plug my computer in since it had completely died after class. Open up computer. FML (I don’t actually use the F word but you get the point…F my life.)
its hard to take a picture of a glass screen, hence all the little arrows to show you all the little shatter lines.
Nice huh? Poor talent if you ask me. Luckily its just the glass part of the screen that shattered but the back screen and LCD are still working fine. So I get to head to the apple store after class today so they can tell me how expensive it is to fix/replace so that I can realize I don’t have the money to fix it and come home. You know the drill =) So yes, in actuality it really isn’t terrible. There could be much worse issues involving cars, and icy parking lots. I just truly am amazed by my ability to break things, including my self (luckily that wasn’t the case this time). Hope you all are having a far better day. This chest cold is not breaking up and my supposed 6 mile tempo run from this morning turned into a 1 miles coughing fit. What rules do you guys go by for training while sick?
Oh and keep commenting on the Hott or Nott page. I’m not telling if my number’s been hit yet…but I will tell you its between 1 and 30!
So anyway today’s theme is clearly FAIL so here’s some lovely pictures to describe my current feeling.
WOW really? safety warnings on things really make me question people
i give this kids friends serious serious props for this one
I think this one is too cute!
I couldn't help myself. I'm immature sometimes.
and my favorite…
What’s your fail story?
Half way through the week…pushing toward the weekend. This is what’s hott or nott in my book this week =)
Hott

- My new 2XU calf compression sleeves I tend to get calf cramps and I was skeptical but I finally invested and I finally got to try them this week. LOVE THEM!
Toasted Marshmallow Jelly Bellys! I don’t know why but I’ve been craving these like cray lately
FuzzyBrat Jewelry: this is an etsy seller who I discovered the other day. She makes hand stamped jewelry (running, marathon/race, mother’s/child names, etc.) for an amazing price. She’s working with me to create some awesome stuff, she’s very sweet, accommodating, and again…awesome prices! Check her out! If you have a specific thing in mind I bet she will help create it for you.- Bethany and Ryan: Comments and Followers for Haiti!
- Bondi Band Fundraiser! Okay guys here’s the deal. My teammate Emily and I contacted Rebecca from BondiBands and set up a fundraiser for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! Now you can get your hands on awesome Bondi Bands and help save lives at the same time!
Here are the details…

Nott
- The current state of my feet. I took my nail polish off my toes for the first time in a while last night. Wow. Bruise city.
- Chest colds. I was really excited for a good run today…made it about one mile before I literally felt like I couldn’t get air in my lungs. Kept coughing and got light headed. Gross.
- Whatever the hell this thing Kayne’s dating is…
-
Apparently she got in a fight with a huge cat
Beam me up Kayne
Got mummified before this one?
Alright…that’s enough out of my mouth…or fingers? for today. Just for the heck of it, I’m curious to see how who many people actually read through all my rambling. So I have a certain number in mind. Leave a comment on this page and whoever is that number comment will get a little something from me in the mail =) In the comment (you only need one, don’t need one for every answer), let me know…
- Your fave color/colors
- Your birthday (year not necessary)
- What you found hott or nott so far this week
Peace out, Run on,
I was looking around at ideclare.com today and omgsh, is anyone else as in love with the Runner’s Brag Bracelet HERE as I am! Goodness I’m about to cut off my arm and leg for this one. Being a poor college student I can’t quite spring for this one yet. Stupid college tuition, books, and food. I want ideclare! Oh well, all good things are worth waiting for right?
I swear everywhere I turn I'm reminded of San Diego! AH can't wait!
While I’m on the subject of money, I’m still overly excited about my skirt. But I contained myself and did not wear it to class yesterday. I’m on the hunt for a cute yellow tank or sports bra or something to go with the fabulosity of the skirt. I found this one on nike.com and although it is BEAUTIFUL I’m not so sure the $65 price tag is doable. So if anyone would like to be my Valentine and send it my way…I’d be rather greatful (sorry J).
It also happens to be Team Fight colors so it could come in handy…but again I just can’t justify the $65. Oh well, the search shall continue. Speaking of Team Fight, my very good friend M writes for a college blog and she wrote an article about Team Fight and The Ulman Cancer Fund for me. Check it out HERE PLEASE! She’s a budding journalist and gets paid for views and comments so head over, check out the article and leave a quick comment! PS, Heather, there’s a picture of you on it =)
Thank you guys so much for the Bondi Band orders thus far! They should be arriving by the end of this week and I will ship them out to you guys ASAP! Please keep the orders coming and keep telling all your friends! Spread some Bondi love =) Please let me know if you have any questions at all.
Okay so tonight is the big night. THE NIGHT. The night I’ve been waiting months for! The one thing that could make me skip my speed work group tonight. Yes, you know what I’m talking about. It’s the season premiere of LOST!!!! I will admit I hopped on the Lost train very very late and literally spent all of January 2009 attached to my computer, watching seasons 1-4 on hulu.com. Yep. I was REALLLLLY cool. But once I watched the first episode I just couldn’t stop. Lost many hours of sleep to that show. I watched season 5 and then…nothing. Nothing at all. For a year. This has been like torture people! But tonight my world shall be at peace again between the hours of 9-10 EST. But really. I’m not excited. At all.
I’m also curious if any of you have ever tried/actually stuck with either PX9o or Physique 57 (which appears to be very ballet inspired which I love). I hear amazing things about both and it would be nice to have a hardcore workout series around the house (that involves more than 2 lb weights, a “fitness pole” and shaking your butt). However, both are a bit pricey and I’m always worried about buying things from infomercials. So has anyone ever gotten results/not died of boredom from either of these? Are there any other program you’ve loved?
Physique 57
On a more serious/sad note, my dog had a visit to the vet today. She’s always been a bit “hefty” and she seems very sluggish lately and losing weight. The vet thinks she has Leukemia (the damn beast even take our pets). In our house, dogs are part of the family and after we lost my first dog to old when I was in 5th grade I was devastated. One of the few times I saw my dad cry. So we are trying to see the bright side and figure out how to make my poor puppy feel the best she can. We love our little Lily alot.
