Hi everyone,
Today I had my interview with buckle, and not to brag but im pretty sure I nailed it. :) And thats really a good thing because yesterday I had to move a whole lot of mildewed bales so that they wouldn't you know catch on fire, and tomorrow what im looking at is unloading 7 wagons of hay, all by my lonesome. However, my workouts are still going well, pretty much have like a two-a-day going with work but its good. Bye

heyy everyone!! so nothing exciting has really been happening to me, work and working out is about all i do!! The workouts are going great & i must say i really enjoy working out with someone because working out by yourself can get a bit boring!!! Brooke & I try to workout together as much as possible & we normally have a pretty good time! The other day I had to make her walk away from me just so i could stop laughing and actually get my lift in!! For once in her life brooke said something funny...lol brooke if you read this i'm totally kidding!!! Other than that nothing really has been going on, i find out tomorrow if I got a second job at red robin! i'm not really sure i want a second job but mama & papa hamon said i didn't really have a choice!!! & for those who don't know mama and papa hamon when they say something ya better listen!!! I hope everyone has fun on vacation...& i am super jealous of all of you!!! Have a good weekend!!!!

hey everyone! so i just got back from pitching with my pitching coach. it went alright. my arm hasn't been feeling that great this week so i've been taking it easy on lifting. but other than that workouts are going great. i also got my book this week and i plan to start it soon. i hope everyone has been having an awesome week.

hey girls! im in hilton head and don't think i wanna come back to ohio! I don't have much to say but hope everyone is having a great week and have a great 4th of july! miss you all

hey!!! so yesterday i didnt do the workout cuz i was rocking out at cedar point...front row dragster that's right be jealous..then i gound out my parents are giving me money to go to see lady antebellum at country concert the day before my bday sooo im pretty pumped about that too!! :) but other than that i did my lifting and running workout already today since i got the day off from packing pads...but year other than that all is well ;)

Heyyyyyyy
Well.. I hate to say this.. but.. I am going on Vacation tomorrow to Hilton Head for an entire week and then I get to go to JAMBOREE IN THE HILLS!! Be jealousssss bahaha so my posts may be slightly late. I'll soak up sun for everyone! Plus now my body can like me for giving it a rest from the workouts haha I hope everyone has a great week.

hello softball ladies....not much going on down south except the heat. i get to play again next weekend....super stoked. workouts are going great. im sore 24/7. hope everyone is having a great week. i miss everyone and ohio- knoxxxx

hi everyone hope everything is going well! ive had a hard week with everything its been tough but im really looking forward to this weekend because im going down to west virginia for my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary, hope everyone else has fun over 4th of july be safe!

Helloooo :)
Workouts are going lovely and so is conditioning. I had to swim 500m for lifeguarding today and I now give swimmers more credit. Whew. Our tournament last weekend went pretty well. We lost our first game so went to the losers bracket but ended up finishing 3rd place. Not too bad! Have a good week!!

Heyy everyone!! So nothing really has changed, just working and workouts. Today is my dad's birthday so we're going to Youngs Jersey Dairy to eat, get icecream, and get our puttputt on lol. Hopefully sometime this week, I think I'm going to go canoing and visit the zoo with my nieces and nephews, so hopefully that will workout! On a separate note, is anyone going to Red, White, and Boom? If you are let me know!! :) And quick reminder...there IS NOT any open fields today. They are every other Monday so the next one is July 11. Have a good day everyone!!!

Hi ladies! Hope everyone had a great weekend. Lifting and cardio stuff have been going well. I ran around our neighborhood today just to get to know it better and I came across some nature preserve. I was like what the heck so I ran into it and discovered a swamp. There was a gravel trail around it so I ran it. It was nice and shady so that's a bonus haha. I'm still jobless which really sucks but I have had a few interviews so hopefully something comes up. Anyway that's all I got! Peace!

hi guyss! i don't really have much to say because i feel like i just do the same thing every day. today was nice though because i had a day off from babysitting. i went to the park and played tennis and soccer- it was nice to play different sports for a change lol. don't worry though tomorrow i have softball practice so i'll be getting back to my real sport.

Hi everyone =)  So I am super excited because I just found out I haven't been scheduled for work on July 3rd, 4th, or 5th...HOW LUCKY AM I?!  Unfortunately, that also means I will be opening at 5am every day through Saturday this week...oh well..win some, lose some!  Workouts have been great and it is hilarious to watch when guys stop sitting around talking at the gym to struggling with the heaviest weights possible when they realize a 21 year old girl is working out hard than them =P  I am having a hard time trying to plan out when I will go to the track for Day 2's track workout.  There have been bad thunderstorms every day and they always start around 2 or 3...right when I get off of work.  So..if any of you all have a big set of lungs, then please give a shout out to Mother Nature to stop thundering around Alabama for the next two months!

Okay, so call me a freshman, but I'm not really sure if I'm doing this blog thing right :-) Workouts are going great and I definitely prefer lifting over cardio! Those just kills me, but I'll make it through. Trying to knock out all of my summer pleasure reading this week that way I can get started on the book for softball (Any Suggestions?) and the book for school in July. Can't wait to meet everyone!

Hey Girls!!
So yesterday I went to lift when I got back from being at home and luckily Liz was there too so we lifted together and can I just say that we busted through that workout. We got done with it in like a half hour. Basically there were like no breaks but it wasn't that bad honestly. I am basically working all day today and will do my running later sometime. Lets just say that my life seems kind of lame at the moment. All I do is work and workout and Paige and I get into some schinanigans every once in awhile. By schinanigans I mean the thought of going to slide in the grass if it would ever rain when we wanted it to for kicks and giggles. Maybe it will rain later this week for us. Keep your fingers crossed so I can have a little excitement in my week :p haha. Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!

I know this is repetitive but I am so sore!! I did my running this morning and lets just say working 11 to close today is gonna be rough! Paige if you read this.... today is not the day to be rude to me if I'm their waitress lol..I hope you all have fun tonight sorry I couldn't be there!

Later tators!

Keep pushing!!!

hey...so another day of pad packing in :) haha love it! anyways just got done doing the running work out today...it was a great one! tonight i am umpiring a softball game make some easy money...other than that the weekend was great!! hope all is well for everyone...oh and sorry i didn't make it today...like i said work and umpiring. but hopes it was fun!

later gators!

Ok. I officially suck at responding to ANYTHING. I sincerely apologize guys. When I am home I literally hide from the world. I never check facebook..or my phone..or my e-mail.. I just chill and basically chase my niece around when I don't work. Oh and for all of you who were wondering.. yes..I work at a golf course.. and yes.. the men are pervs! But anyway.. lifting has been hard to fit into my schedule.. but I always make sure to run run run run. I cannot make it tonight because I just got off work and was hoping someone would read this and inform someone about it. Hopefully I'll be able to make it down to one at some point.. Stay classy ladies
:D

Hey girls! So this weekend my team did AWESOME!!! We ended up placing 4th out of 52 teams at the ASA State tourney and finally got our birth down to tenn., so I'll be seeing knox soon!!! lol. But other than that I've just been working, doing the workouts, and helping my mom out around the house (she got her knee completely replaced so she's just now being able to get around again). I've also attempted to start my honors project but it isn't going the greatest. So if anyone reads or hears any information on social studies curriculum involving the civil war, let me know please, it would be greatly appreciated lol. See you guys at the field tonight!

Hey Girls,
I am actually a little sore from the workouts, but that just means it's working, right? Ha anyway this past weekend my team played at Marysville and I think we ended up in third, but thats not the impressive part. I not only ran the bases I stole bases too it was pretty impressive. lol Everything is going pretty well with me still, I am hoping I can find another job than working for my father because let's just say it is rediculous!! Hope everyone is still doing good!! Bye

ohh heyy everyone!!! So basically my hamstrings are about one dead lift away from popping, which I don't think is good for them!!! lol So while y'all were having fun playing softball I was stuck at good Ol Bob Evans from 10am to about 5 this weekend!!! & i'm gonna go on a little bit of a venting session but I waited on the rudest table of my life this weekend! like I seriously wanted to punch them in their face or spit in their food ( don't worry I didn't) When a waitress is talking to you trying to get your order it is not okayy for you to look at her as if she is stupid than to start a brand new conversation with the people you are sitting with!! I promise you once you give the waitress your order they will walk away...it's how it works!!! I don't need to stand there listening to how Brenda gained a lot of weight in college! i don't know brenda i don't care if she gained weight in college!! The funny part is as this girl is going on and on about brenda gaining weight she decides to finally pay attention to me and give me her order and she orders the BIGGEST MEAL EVER!! like no one should be able to eat as much food as this girl did in one sitting, like it wasn't healthy!! She probably gained just as much weight as Brenda did in college...just saying! ANYWAYY...I had an interview at red robin todayy!! i'll find out on friday if I got the job or not! As if Bob wasn't enough to deal with i'm gonna have to start dealing with Robin also! oh well a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!!! I'll be there tonight for who ever is coming :)

Hey Girls!! So today I did my workout with my dad and ohh woww will I feel it tomorrow! My workouts have been great but I cant wait till I can feel all my body parts again! I have been sooo extremely sore! My tam played this last weekend in Cleveland and we did alright not our best tournament but its okay we have plenty more to come! I also will not be able to join you all tonight :( I have a eye doctors appointment at 4 and they have to dilate my eyes so my mom doesnt want me to drive that far but I will be at the next one! hope you all had a greatt weekend I missss you guys!

hey ya'll. hope everyone is doing great. My legs hurts from squats today. I played last weekend and i actually hit a double. Dad said it was lucky but I call it pure skill. im totally kidding. I won't be able to make to the scrimage tonight but hopefully i will next time!

Hope everyone had a good weekend! Mine has been pretty good but I'm not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow even though its just babysitting ha. Our new kitten has been keeping me up at night so hopefully I can get a good night's sleep tonight especially since I have to do my workouts tomorrow too. I hope the workouts don't make me too sore this week!

Hey girls!

Sorry I haven't posted on here sooner I've been on vacation with my family this past week and internet there was sooooooooooooooo slow!!! and my phone wasn't getting any signal. but anyways we went to lake cumberland and it was a blast! I will be starting my workouts tomorrow but I'm already sore from tubing and everything else I did this past week! But I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!! I can't wait to see everyone! I miss you all!

Calli

hey guys. i just finished my first day of summer ball...and pitched 1 inning lol. But it was a good inning!! we had three games we won the first one in the last inning (that i pitched) and then we lost the other two. but hopefully i'll pitch more tomorrow, my coach knows i'm coming back from an injury so we're taking in slow. so as for now i'm the relief pitcher when needed.

workouts went well this week except i have an infection in my toe and it hurts like crazy so it was difficult to do the running workout but it went well considering. but i hope everyones summer and workouts are going great!

Open Field Dates and Times

Hey ladies!!! So after hearing from most of you, the majority voted for MONDAYS from 6-8. So here are the dates:
6/27
7/11
7/25
8/8 (possibly)
If you can make it, fabulous! We'll be scrimmaging, hitting, throwing, etc. and then probably go get something to eat (or if we're wiped out, just hang out). If you can't, that's okay as well. We'll be back at the field, like usual, and if you have any questions, give me a call(my number is 937-537-6184).

Now that we have that settled, I've had a pretty long day today. Most of our games got rained out yesterday, so they had to play at 7am this morning. This in turn meant that I had to leave my house at 4:30am this morning... I wasn't a happy camper lol. But the girls have been doing awesome and we've won all of our games today (we have one more at 7:15pm). On a side note, the girls have now started using "Line Drives All Day!" and "Kill the Wounded" in our cheers lol. Hope everyone is doing awesome!

hey guys

i've been super busy this summer working everyday at a special needs summer camp which i love and then softball on the weekends, my team actually won are first tournament in zanesville, so that gave us a birth into nationals :) my job is amazing working these kids is awesome they brighten my day no matter what. one of the boys in my group purposed to me the other day with a a ring made out of tape. it was so cute. but other than work and softball i don't do much. me and my friend have our own house and im getting used to being on my own and paying bills. i'm leave for hilton head this tuesday and i can't wait im ready to get some sun and go to the ocean! hope everyone else is having a great summer! can't wait to see you all! <3

hey ladies...i just thought i would stop in real quick before i go do todays workout...well actually lifting and running because yesterday i worked for 8 hours at the factory then 5 hours at the tavern sooo needless to say i was too tired to go lift or run...so today im going to do both! not really much else to say but i best be going soon cuz we are going shopping after this and mom wants to get going so i better get going! hope all you have a fantastical weekend :)byyeeeeeee

hi everyone! i dont really have much to say ha ive been p[itching a lot this week though and its been going really well. the workouts are alright too!good luck to everyone whose playing this weekend have fun!

Hey everyone. I'm playing all weekend in Crossville. It had to bleieve how sore I am just after a pitching workout. Workouts are still going good. Happy Weekend everyone

helloo. just got home from my softball tournament. We only had 2 games today but i was at the field from like 8:30 am to 6:30 because of rain delays. We won one and lost one. The team we lost to was beating us 8-0 and we came back and scored 8 runs in one inning but then they beat us in the next inning because of an error. So now we have a lovely 8am game tomorrow morning. Hopefully we stay in the winners bracket or else we could have like 6 games tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Hello! So today's workout wasn't bad, the lifting actually isn't what is getting me, it's the running haha. Anywho, I had an interview today and it went really well, I should get a call on Monday to confirm but I will be working at Macy's. It's only an on-call position to stock shelves at like 6am but it's better than nothing! Good luck to everyone playing this weekend, hopefully the weather gets nicer!

So i just got done doing 2 workouts actually. Had to do friday lifting and the like line jumps and cone drills and interval run cuz i have a tourney this weekend so i can't do it then. Lets just say that I am tired haha. Luckily I have the day off of work so that i can relax and be ready to go for my 4 games scheduled for just tomorrow haha. But it all gets better cuz im gonna go shopping for a new pair of shoes i have been wanting here in a little bit :) hope everyone has a great weekend and good luck to anyone else playing!!

hi everyone. i am have to post this from my brothers phone seeing how we dont haveinternet right now long story! but workouts are going well still.bye

Hi Everyone!  So I was so excited that I would be able to sleep in til 8:30 or 9 today because I have been scheduled for 5 am shifts all week but today.  Unfortunately, my Mom lost her contact down the drain this morning and woke me up at 7:15 to tell me that I had to drive my sis to work.  So there went my big morning of sleeping in!  Now I have to hope I get a day off next week...in which case I may be locking my bedroom door! haha  I am about to head to the gym to workout and then will be running afterward.  This weekend I will be biking a lot because of a bet a friend and I made.  We both challenged each other that when we got back to Otterbein, we would see who could last on their bike the longest while still keeping the same speed as the other person.  Knowing us, we will probably bike about 40 or 50 miles because we hate losing (but he will be the one to lose!).  I can already do over 25 for sure and I am hoping all these hills in Alabama will be the trick to beating him!!!  Hope you all have a great weekend!

Hello Ladies! Hope everyone is doing swell. I did the running workout today and that was a doozy! It felt good to get it done haha. So not much has changed with me, still looking for a job, but I have an interview tomorrow so keeping my fingers crossed! I hope everyone can make it next week for our scrimmage/hang out day, it would be great to see everyone again and of course play softball! Good luck to everyone in tourneys this weekend! Talk to you all soon!

HI EVERYONE!

So it doesn't even feel like summer I have been so busy! I went to Myrtle beach last week and this week I am a counselor at a science camp (despite my lack of science skills). I started up with my trainer Monday and he was not afraid to let me know how out of shape I am in. We have been doing a few lifts in our socks. Supposedly it is supposed to help you get the most out of the lift. I've been trying to run everyday before this week but the conditioning workouts have still been pretty hard. I better save some things to talk about for my next post!
Toodles :)

PLEASE READ THIS!!!!!

Hey everyone! Okay so business first: I've only had 7 people respond to me about open field times that would work for them. If both days work, let me know please. If not, please text (937)537-6184, email (casey.clarridge@otterbein.edu), or repost what would work best for you. It will either be Wednesdays or Mondays from 6-8. I'll be posting Saturday what day it will be next week (I can also send out a facebook message as a reminder- incoming freshmen, if you could please comment so that I can add you in the FB message too). Thanks!!!

As for everything else, nothing really exciting has happened. I did see Tangled for the first time yesterday, though, and it was AWESOME!!! It was so awesome that I made Dave watch it with me for the second time lol. But I'll be up at Findlay with my girls for the weekend, starting today, so if anyone is up in that area let me know! Good luck to everyone else in tourneys!(and to those of you who are working lol). Miss you all!!!

So the good news is the soreness in my legs is basically gone but bad news is now my arms are totally feeling it!! I just finished finished my running & i never thought I would say this but I love getting up and getting my workouts finished in the mornings!!!! All that will change next week though because good ol' Bob Evans switched me to the morning shift...uhh!! So if anyone is near Cleveland Ave at 7:30am you can come visit me :) Well I hope everyone has a great rest of the week & anyone in softball tourny's good luck this weekend!!!!

Hey yall!! hope everyone is doing awesome. I already miss ohio and everyone.workouts are going great but I'm super sore. Instead of walking, I'm waddling like a duck. I can't wait to play this weekend!!! hope everyone is having a great time with friends and family.

Hey !! I hope everyone is loving their summer break :) So I worked all day then went to practice, it kinda sucked because I was so tired. Workouts have been going good, I was so sore when I first started tho :/ I have a tournament in Masillon this weekend, i'm pretty excited :))

Helloooo

S o I completely forgot about having to blog until Maggot kindly informed me. I worked out yesterday since I couldn't fit it in Monday and I woke up today successfully being unable to move. Yay. Work is lovely, there is nothing better then getting hit on by men 55+. Going to hit and throw with the pops here in a bit. I hope everyone is doing well!
-Elyse

hiiii guys!

I just got back from Myrtle Beach a couple days ago. I went with my friend and her family so it was a lot of funn. Now I am babysitting and want to rip my head off so I decided to come post on here instead to get away for at least a couple minutes haha. But I hope everyone's summers are going good! It makes me sick that June is almost over already lol but oh well we still have 2 more months!

Hello ladies,

Workouts are well they're workouts they're going good. I have just been working for my father which is a workout in and of it's self, but it's been good. Me and CBs travel team is doing good we won one tournament so far, and every Monday I wake up from that long weekend of pitching, my arm hates me but it's all good i'm just glad I could still play for one more year.

hey girls!! so yesterday i ran and today i lifted and lets just say im sore it hurts to sit stand lay down run squat everything haha but yesterday i was worked and then i had to help my sister at her senior pictures soo i ran last night...i ran on the tredmill...so i was like i will run on 6.5 and go from there. well i was dying so i decided to just run a mile cuz i was like literally ready to fall over dead. and not to mention completely embarrassed and so confused because i was like why can't i run on 6.5 for a mile. i knew it has been awhile but i was like come on rachael your better than this...so i made an executive decision to just walk/jog on a really steep incline and when i went to increase the incline i realized that i had been running on a 4.0 incline for a mile...haha so now i don't feel as out of shape lol needless to say though my hamstrings are in a constant burn haha but anyways today i lifted and it went well except for the squats because of the burning pain in my hamstrings and the pull ups wow those stink! haha but i attempted them lol

but whoever reads this you will get a kick out of this! so i work at a factory this summer and you will never believe what i do almost everyday for 8 hours a day!...i pack pads! lol yep that's right feminine napkins (as us pad packers prefer) lol yep its a great job haha well at least it is a job but haha its awesome! lol if you want any good stories just let me know haha i have some! lol :)

well its about that time to go to bed because i have to get up to pack some more feminine napkins ;) lol later ladies enjoy the soreness...just remember pain is weakness leaving the body!

And the time would be 6-8 pm for these open fields (we can modify the time if it works out better for everyone). So just comment which day would work best and if this time would work. If it doesn't, write what would be better for you. Thanks!!!!

Hey ladies!!! You can add me to the list as for being sore this morning as well (I pretty much fell out of my bed lol). But the summer is flying by! I'm working full-time again at the Marysville School Board along with being an assistant coach with a 16U team (Miami Valley XPress). I forgot how intense 16U can be, but the girls are awesome and it's been a blast so far. The only other exciting thing going on is that Liz and I got our house keys!!!! (I haven't moved in yet, but I will be soon!). I hope everyone's summers' are going awesome!!

PS. We're going to be having some open fields just to scrimmage, play, hang out, etc., but we need to know from everyone which would be better- Mondays or Wednesdays? We want to start them next week and do this bi-weekly (every other week). Please either post or comment on my post what would be better for you. Thanks ladies!

ohh heyy ladies,

So I'm gonna be sore!!! Workouts this morning were killer but i felt pretty good after wards!!! My summer has been going pretty well, I just got back from vacation with my family! I miss the beach and the pool & hot tub that was in my backyard! I hope that everyone has a great week!!

Paige

Hey guys! So summer has been good so far. Mostly I've been working and doing my arm exercises. I pitched for the first time last Thursday and I was sore for the next 3 days, but I guess it's a start. I have a softball tournament this weekend so I'm planning on lifting and conditioning on some of the same days. But I'm going to go a start my first workout now. I hope everyone's summer and workouts are going great!

Hi ladies!!! So I started my workout last week because I was bored and I wasn't for sure what my summer is going to look like ( I still don't but that's beside the point) and let's just say I found out what it was like to be a penguin, waddling everywhere haha. But my summer has been ok so far, I moved in to a house this weekend so that was fun. I am about to start round two of workouts so I will end this blog. Hope everyone is having a great summer so far!

Hey everyone! I've finally recovered from getting my wisdom teeth out just in time to start my workouts! yayyy!!! I know I'm going to be sore tomorrow but what's new? Hope everyone is having a great summer so far!

Hi Ladies!!
Well got the first workout of the summer in today, lets just say it lead to one tired and sore girl haha. I played in my first tournament of the summer this past weekend and while my coach said he was going to put me more in the infield that clearly didn't happen cuz i caught 2 of the 3 games i played in haha. I only played about half of the second game but still, not catching for so long makes you super sore the next day haha. so then adding the lifting today on top of that basically means i am going to be sore all week. gotta love it! haha. but i hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far and keeps up with stuff! it will only make us better come next season :):)
hope to see and talk to some of you guys soon!!!

The New Beginning

Hi Everyone! =)  Today is the first day of workouts and I am excited to begin!  I went for a run this morning before the heat and humidity went up and will complete our first workout before heading to work at Panera!  I have been working out the whole summer but beginning these workouts makes me excited to have the season begin!  I had my 21st birthday yesterday and my Dad got me a new catcher's mitt! =)  Unfortunately, I forgot how much of a pain it is to break in Nokona mitts so that is what I will be doing for the whole summer.  I hope that everyone had a great weekend and a great Father's Day!
