Made it through another week, and got up really early, expecting to have to do more revisions on a paper, but it came back alright, and so I had enough time to run out to the pier and back. Just one stop on the bench at the end-- it was cold enough to run in my old county hoodie-- my favorite running sweatshirt. Still dark when I left the house, ( Read more... )

Happy monday. After a wonderful weekend of festing, it was back to the salt mines. My run today was tough, although I have a pretty good idea of why. Let's review my caloric intake for the weekend... approximately 23 alcoholic drinks (some of them involving fruit and/or veggies, e.g. lemons, tomato juice, OJ, etc.) in 48 hours. 2 Jimmy Johns ( Read more... )

Just out to the pier and back.  It had rained this morning, so I thought it wouldn't be terribly hot and humid, but the breathing was definitely a little rough.  I guess I'm out of shape :/  I do usually take the summers off of running since I just can't do it when it's above 75 degrees or so, especially with humidity.  My muscles felt fine but I ( Read more... )

I'm getting back into this slow and steady.  Had a really productive day, donated some blood, had lunch w/ a friend, got about six quality hours of work done at the union/library cage, and then came home to run ( Read more... )

I agree with Kate, facebook is stupid.  But i feel much better now, having blocked an ex on there, untagged our pix, and told gmail to put him in the spam folder.

 I don't know the story behind this one, but several of my friends have posted this list of 100 books, of which the average american adult has supposedly read SIX. SIX.  These are classic works of literature folks.  I mean, sure, I hated catcher in the rye, but I still READ the damn thing for American Lit as a junior in high school.  Anyhow... I've ( Read more... )

So, I'm pretty sure Josh and I are going to do the Moonlight 5K next month, which means that I need to get to doing at least a little bit of running and speed work.  I don't want to turn in a totally crappy time, I'm shooting for somewhere in the low 27s, high 26 minutes?  We'll see ( Read more... )

So instead of doing my next reading, I found this cool feature. Now I can just record all the cool books that I eventually want to have, and then when people ask me what I want for Christmas/Birthday/Valentines Day (hahaha) I can point them towards these.
