What's Up Wednesday is a weekly meme geared toward readers and writers, allowing us to touch base with blog friends and let them know what's up. It's hosted by the lovely Erin and Jaime.

This is also what I'm using for my IWSG post created by Alex ... two birds, one stone.

What I'm reading
Email - Last Thursday I FINALLY received an email I've been waiting on. Well technically I totally forgot I was waiting on it, it has been that long. A few months ago my hubby suggested I send my blog link to Run For Your Lives (RFYL) because they were looking for a few bloggers. Well a few emails passed between myself and RFYL and they have chosen me as one of their bloggers!! Woot Woot! So be looking for frequent Zombie posts, running posts, book post, etc. I will be applying what I learn from movies and novels and incorporating those towards the RFYL race.

What I'm Writing
Still working on my poems but now writing more for the above mentioned posts.

What Else I've Been Up To
Well I finished my bike race and now I'm working towards a 5k I will be running/walking with Jackie and our husbands August 24th. Color Me Rad is going to be, well, RAD!

What Inspires Me Right Now
Zombies!!

What's Up on your Wednesday? *Mike, Mike, Mike, what day is it? ... Huuummmp Daaaaay!* Having a good one? I hope so!!

What I'm reading
Unwholly by Neal Shusterman - on Monday I posted a 30 question survey over on my co-blog, Cover Girls, detailing which books and authors I love in various categories, and which books I dislike as well. I didn't hold back. Check it out here and find out why I'm excited to be reading Unwholly finally. To see what my 'partner in crime' Jax likes, dislikes, etc on her 30 question survey - check it out here!

What I'm Writing
I written a few of the stanza-type poems I was telling you about last week. I like writing poems once I get into the rhythm of it all. That's the problem with stanza's, like all poems, they need to have a beat to them, with stanzas, it depends on how many lines you have and there is a certain rhythm to the verse's. I love the challenge.

What Else I've Been Up To
Besides my trainer trying to kill me Monday, I'm preparing for my Urban Adventures bike race this Saturday. It's not just a bike race but also obsticle course challenges. Last my husband and I biked around 30 miles and tackled 25 out of the 28 challenges along the way. This year and girlfriend and I are gonna take on this challenge. Biking no less then 25 miles we will also do white water rafting, zip line, water polo, hockey, running in firemen gear, playing cops and robbers, racing through the farmers market and finding food on our list for the needy, etc. It's a blast and we also get to enjoy the beautiful of South Bend and hangout at Notre Dame.

What Inspires Me Right Now
Movies - anything apocalyptic, horror, make me almost pee my pants. I just love movies!!

What's Up on your Wednesday? Having a good one? I hope so!!

What's Up Wednesday - A Day Late

What's Up Wednesday is a weekly meme geared toward readers and writers, allowing us to touch base with blog friends and let them know what's up. It's hosted by the lovely Erin and Jaime.

Like I explained yesterday, I haven't blogged due to blogger issues so that's why today's post is a day late. I'm catching up! Woohoo!

What I'm ReadingThe Loners by Thomas Lex

What I'm Writing
Since I'm still not feeling any desire to work on my WIP's I thought I would write a couple of stanza-type poems (I posted one yesterday in my Express Yourself post). Maybe they will inspire me and you never know... I might put a couple in my WIP's.

What Else I've Been Up To
Trying to stay cool in these 90's+ temps when I'm supposed to be riding my bike to get prepared for my bike race next Saturday but instead I'm working on my 4 minute cardo workouts my trainer told me to do:
Mummies
Mountain Climbers
Burpees
& Step Ups
20 seconds of each as fast as I can with 5 seconds of pause in between each one equals 4 mins of instense training... I literally need my inhailer when I'm done and it only takes 4 mins out of my day. ANYBODY can give up 4 mins.

What Inspires Me Right Now
Music:
Macklemore's Same Love
Miley's We Can't Stop
Bubble Butt by Major Lazer ft/Bruno Mars, 2 Chainz & Tyga
Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke ft/T.I. & Pharrell
Cruise by Florida Georgia Line ft/Nelly

I have joined a great Wednesday Meme...

What I'm Reading
Compared to Monument 14 (bk 1) by Emmy Laybourne, Monument 14: Sky on Fire (bk 2) is starting off a bit slow but still has kept my attention. I'm a sucker for dystopian and apocalyptic reads, so when it comes to kids of all ages, being stranded during a national collapse, it gets my blood pumping.

What I'm Writing
Currently I am writing a few WIP's but I'm struggling on a section with each one and have taken a break to wrap my head around the direction I want to take. Eh, that's why they are called Work's In Progress, right?!

What Else I've Been Up To
The other day I bought a Soffe mesh tank top which isn't even half of what I need to be prepared for the Urban Adventure Bike Race in July. Initially I wasn't going to do this Amazing-Race-type-obstacle-bike-course because my husband said he wasn't up for it this year. However, a high school friend of mine said her friend bailed on her and she wanted to know if I could help her out because the only way to enter is to have a partner and she LOVES this race. Well I can't leave a friend hanging can I? So I said sure. Our race name: Black Widows, race colors: Pink and Black. More race info to follow in the coming weeks.

What Inspires Me Right Now
Anything ADVENTUROUS! Now that summer has arrived I'm totally stoked to be out-n-about doing anything that gives me a rush!

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!
