rip grandma xoxo.

saturday july 13^th will always be a somber day.

the day my grandma suddenly passed away.

originally, I was going to post what i said at her funeral, but i just don’t think i’m ready for that.. it’s a tad too personal.

i did manage to get through it without crying, although there were many tears to follow.

so i’ll leave you with my closing quote:

“nothing you love is lost. not really. things, people-they always go away sooner or later. you can’t hold them anymore than you can hold moonlight. but if they’ve touched you, if they’re inside you, then they’re still yours. the only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart.” - buce coville

rest in peace grandma, you will be missed

bikini body - 19 day hawaii workout plan.

i tend to go on health kicks from time to time.

i made a 19 day program to get my bum in shape for hawaii.

most of it you do at home with your own body weight, and i'm being lenient on the running and yoga.

anyone want to do it with me?

it's been a while.

yeah, it's been awhile.

i intended to post sooner than this but life sometimes gets in the way.

about a week and a half ago my grandma suddenly passed away.

it was devastating and we all miss her so much.

last week i got next to no sleep trying to help my family prepare for the funeral.

this week i'm trying to give myself some "janine-time"

trying to unwind.

some how though unwinding has turned into a massive to-do list.

*sigh*

run 16/28. color me rad!

this past weekend was my 16th run:

not bad

this run also happened to be the color me rad run! 

{before}

{after}

so much fun - and we were so colorful afterwards! 

 don't worry even though the race is over i don't think i've given up running completely.

in fact i might even sign up for another run in september.

canada day long weekend.

preceeding this weekend i'd been off work for almost a week due to my city flooding.

the long weekend approached and the natural thing to do was head to the lake

we also celebrated my grandma's 85th birthday!

had tons of fun fishing, boating and soaking up the sunshine <3

and then it was time to head back to reality

run 15/28.

it's interesting that i thought i would get 28 runs in before the race

it's now 3 days before and i'm out by 13

i guess if i had trained harder i would have reached my goal

oh well.

today i hit 5 km!

i was getting a little worried all things considered

3 days to go!

run 14/28.

monday's run after some time off.

i ran after eating - don't do this.

at this point i was getting worried because we were a week away from the run and i was struggling with 3km

*le sigh*
