Newest publication!
It feels good to get this work out there...I think it was my favorite project from graduate school.

@ragans @anthroreviewed I got mine last night too!!!

@Momademia These are honestly some of my favorite workouts. Variation helps. Example: Something like a 10s wallsit, 5 squats, and only 30 jjs may be a bit easier.

@weistafspeis @anthroreviewed @sportswithjohn I first listened to that particular episode the night before my dissertation defense. I was full of imposter syndrome feelings. I was driving back from Five Guys and I remember having to actually pull over because I started crying. I still need to watch Harvey...

@LatturnerGroup @ProfJuliaChan @PatsPints Found the link. I'm going to need this one too...

On a very related note: I finally started #TFIOS
4 hours later and here I sit with a finished book, eyes puffy and sore from crying...but what a beautiful story.
Thank you @sportswithjohn

Do you ever feel guilty for finishing a book in a single setting? I mean, I know authors take months (if not years) to write novels...to finish them so fast feels almost rude.

[Mary Hertz, PhD @MaryBSweets]

@sportswithjohn @orenpeleg Time to re-listen to all of it again in preparation!!

[Mary Hertz, PhD @MaryBSweets]

@RunnerDrChemGrl Yeah, I heard something about it online about a week ago. It is real!!! I'm so happy that the full cast is returning ❤️

[Mary Hertz, PhD @MaryBSweets]

@RunnerDrChemGrl I am so excited!!!!

[Mary Hertz, PhD @MaryBSweets]

@neo_endurance I'd love to meet up and chat about it at some point!! So excited to meet people here!

My first snow!
1 week ago I was in Florida, packing to move, in shorts and a tank top in mid-70s weather.
Well, welcome to Colorado Springs!
Things are off to a beautiful start.

@GradSkoolStrugs This is not okay!!!! Symptoms like this should not be ignored. Yes, grad school can take a toll on mental health, but it needs to be addressed and managed like ANY OTHER ILLNESS.

@rkmacpherson @robert_zubrin @BatmanateePhD My grad school roommate was an archeologist and had never seen them. I made her watch them because people kept asking if she was an archeologist like Indiana Jones....she now angrily responds in the negative to that question.

Anxiety feels like....

But instead, everything worked out fine and the sheets arrived safely. So few of my worries come to fruition, but I go on having them anyway.

@sortedfood I agree with the result, but here's another thought: When I am cooking super low budget, I expect to take more time. I am doing more things from "scratch" rather than using a slightly more expensive shortcut. Don't be afraid of a long time Mike. 10 extra minutes isn't that long.
