Training from 9-5 today. WHEE. Going to head to work a little early probably. I'm hoping to sneak in a lunch time run, but I'll probably have to go after work. K and I are meeting up later for some shopping and dinner and she gets off a bit later than me, so I can do a quick 3 or 4 miles then. My knee is still pretty stiff; it's starting to annoy ( Read more... )

4.5 miles at lunch. It is *super* hot outside, but, for whatever reason, the run was great! Quick, cold shower and now I'm back at my desk eating a left over hamburger. (Russ makes the best hamburgers bar none; can't get enough of them). Things have been quiet even with the LB's return (although I did have to listen to vacation stories for 40 ( Read more... )

Today was uneventful, but not unenjoyable. We went to the local farmer's market, but got there a tad on the late side, so didn't have much to choose from. Spent the rest of the day chilling, really. Went to the grocery store, etc. Went out to dinner. Didn't run today because of the knee. Still can't do stairs and tears come to my eyes whenever ( Read more... )

I fell this morning jogging up the stairs on the escalator at the metro. Nice. Banged my knee and the top of my foot, but decided I was going to go for a run anyway (because the bikini came in today--talk about a motivator!) Running with a sore knee/foot probably wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done in my life. It hurt the *whole* time (hurts a ( Read more... )

Only ran 2 miles yesterday at lunch. Felt bad about that, so I came home and ran 4 more. My goal is to get in 5 at lunch today, take tomorrow off, and then run 12 on Sunday (that'll put me at 30 for the week. WOOT). Went bowling last night with Russ and his buddies. It has been years since I've been bowling, but I didn't do *too* poorly: 62, 101, ( Read more... )

Awesome run at lunch. AWESOME. It was fast and sunny and I did crunches afterwards. WOOT.

I have been up for two and a half hours with NO caffeine, which means I'm nursing a bitching headache at the moment ( Read more... )

Many of you who know me know I volunteer for Street Sense--a newspaper designed to empower individuals who are homeless. Thus far, my volunteering has been limited to editing, but I'm starting to branch out and become more involved in the program. This coming Saturday we're having events at both The Ugly Mug and Ventnor's for the Preakness. ( Read more... )

About to go give a presentation at our large staff meeting. EEP. Should be easy, though; not too concerned. Worked late and skipped the photography class, but our report is ALMOST DONE. We've decided we're not stopping today until it's finished. Probably going to run on the treadmill (I still have the gym membership until the end of May) because I ( Read more... )

Standard lunch run went well, with the exception of the dead rat I saw in the river. Aside from that, though, I'd say the route is pretty scenic. :-) Definitely pretty warm, and even though I wore sunscreen I can tell my arms got darker. I wore a visor, so my face didn't get too much sun.
