Multitasker

So, my Gorillapod is a multitask-er! She's a tripod AND an Apple Holder!

We will be having a naming ceremony as soon as we figure it out.

Day 50

Holy Radio Silence Batman!

I'm not exactly sure when the universe open its mouth and swallowed me up, but I think it was sometime around Saturday after my 1 on 1 with Erika. It was a butt/hamstring/abs day. I worked hard, and its really hard for me NOT to complain during a working cause, well, I hate to work out. I did some convoluted sprinting/jogging/walking routine for the cardio portion, but worked with bars and balls and cones OH MY! Seriously, I think I did about 968 1/2 lunges.

When I staggered through the door at home, I took off my socks, shoes and pants and passed out on the couch for a nap...

a 2 hour nap!

All of the energy I ever found after that was to watch HGTV all afternoon, but it was probably because I had like, zero protein all day after. Crazy, I know. I need to be more conscientious. In the past when i'd "work out" I'd do some cardio and when it hurt, stop. The same went for the weights. But that's not an option with Erika and I'm really truly working out. So I need to make sure I'm fueling up! (note to self, Doritos are not proper "fuel")

My obsessive brain picked up a new toy yesterday...

Its called a Gorillapod.

Its not meant to replace a more traditional tripod, just act as a different type of tripod. I'm going to the beach for a week with just my thoughts, a book and my camera, so I'm hoping to get a lot of play time and inspiration in with my camera. Got to practice practice practice shooting so after I climb 8 miles, I'm don't waste my time taking crap photos!

Here is a search link for many ways in which people used their Gorillapod.

Day 39

I got a Petzl Tikka Plus 2 LED Headlamp from REI back in June since I'm planning on starting my hike in the middle of the night so that I can get to the top of Half Dome by sunrise.

This headlamp has 2 light brightnesses and a flashing light. It also has a red light along with a red flashy light (sounds good while bike riding). The little light tilts up and down 3 clicks the whole thing is water proof. There is also a indicator light that tells you when the batteries are going dead!

It wasn't CHEAP. It wasn't EXPENSIVE. So it always makes me feel better when I can utilize objects for multiple purposes.

LOOK! I found a cup under my bed! What else is under here?!
