hide yo kids! hide yo wife!
There have been renovations going on in our office for a few weeks. We have been instructed on MULTIPLE occasions to make sure to keep our purses, wallets, and valuables "out of sight" in a drawer or cupboard while the construction crew (and then movers) are here. In my mind, the unstated but clear implication is that people who work in labor jobs ( Read more... ) -
Are you going to stay downtown?
My pregnant coworker asked, in the interest of making conversation before our staff meeting yesterday if Alex and I were going to stay downtown "after the wedding". She just bought a giant, $300,000 house in Farmington Hills to put her 2 year old and as-of-yet unborn child into. Since this is such a touchy subject, and something we're still very ( Read more... ) -
It's okay to be fat and lazy
I tried to go to crossfit tonight at the new midtown location, but the trainer didn't show. He just called, and it turns out he had texted me at the wrong number to say he couldn't make it. Alex suggested I go to the Y and I *nearly* turned around and biked back downtown but instead decided to buy the celery I needed for the turkey soup and come ( Read more... ) -
Home sick
I totally feel like I'm not sick enough to justify staying home from work. However, I got very little sleep last night - probably due to the decongestant, and I don't have a super pressing deadline today (I have some small things due tomorrow ( Read more... ) -

Week 10 on the books
10 weeks down, 8 to go. I feel like this is the week that shit got real.
Tuesday - 3 mile run at a 10:57/mile. I was surprised I was able to get under 11 min/mile after what felt like a long week last week. Of course it's still hard not to compare this to my last 1/2 marathon training, where 3 miles was pretty easy to bring in at 10:20-10:30/mile. I ( Read more... ) -
Week 9
Tuesday - 3 miles - average 10:57 per mile. The crim was still with me, my legs were pretty dead. I'm not doing enough stretching/ice/foam roller
Wednesday -7 miles - step up for the mid-week run. This was pretty slow and hot. Well, more humid than hot. I usually wear a tank top, but for some reason I started out in a t-shirt this day [edit: the ( Read more... ) -

I'm training for the Monumental Marathon on November 5th, in Indianapolis. I'm in week 8 of the training, and I finally feel like writing about it.

Week 2: Replaced one run with a 15 mile bike ride, ran 6.6 at eagle creek park with ( Read more... )
