Just another manic Monday
Run this morning felt really good. It was chilly and a bit misty, but at least it wasn't a full-on shower. Went out a bit earlier than I've been going, and that seems to be the perfect time - still enough people out that I don't feel isolated, but less than a bit later when you really have to be aware of cyclists and other runners on the path.

Early one morning the sun was shining and I was layin' in bed...
After an incredibly relaxing morning and most of an afternoon of doing absolutely, delightfully nothing, I went for a long walk along the river today. Followed the river walk all the way down to the Queensborough Bridge. Lovely, lovely walk. Then again, any walk along a river tends to be lovely for me. I'm a river-type of person. Something to ( Read more... ) -
Womyn's lib, baby (or no baby thanks to hbc)
Really interesting article from Time on the 50th anniversary of the Pill. Can I just say once again how much I love Gloria Steinem? -
Knowledge is Potential Power
I've been running again, lately. It's been nice. Last week I only got in two runs before the shin splints started trying to kill me. So, I took the weekend off, which was fine by me since I was in DC with my lovelies. Decided this morning to start using the "Couch to 5k" podcasts again. Felt totally awesome. It can be so hard to get up for it ( Read more... ) -
Hello Insomnia, my old friend
It's 5:22. Usually I start waking up right around now. Instead, I have been awake since 1 am. Not even remotely tired (just exhausted) and none of my usual tricks are working to get me back to sleep. Debating the merits of working from home versus going into the office just to exhaust myself further and possibly be able to sleep through the ( Read more... ) -
Going Home
Heading down to DC today! Wohoo! Going home for a long weekend! When my coworker asked me where I was going this weekend I literally did say, "oh, i'm going home to DC for a book launch." Freudian slip much?
But very excited about it all. Kimberly's book launch is tonight which will be fabulous and fun and I will finally get to meet Kimberly ( Read more... ) -
The happy side of Anemia
I felt really ill this morning and couldn't figure out why. I fell asleep on the couch while watching Morning Joe and went back to my bed after the show was over (at 9 am) and slept for another 3 hours (this is unheard of for me who sits bolt-upright at 6 am and is happily awake). Later on, my mom called and I was talking with her about my ( Read more... ) -
Feeling Groovy
Went to a 6am vinyasa class with a teacher I haven't tried yet - I feel AMAZING. So much better than I feel after afternoon/evening classes. So, this is apparently my new thing. The 6-7 am class. LOVE IT. I'm awake anyway, so why not go ( Read more... ) -

Went to 3pm class. Good choice. LOVED the instructor. Plus, I'd have passed out long before the 7:30 class if I had kept sitting around here. Hard to get backing into flow after so many weeks away and I will be sore tomorrow, but well worth it. Plus, it was nice seeing Ryan again - I'd missed chatting with him. I always amaze myself when I ( Read more... ) -

Veeeerrrrrry tired. Don't know if it's the decongestants or if I'm really just that tired. Contemplating merits of 3pm yoga class vs. 7:35 yoga class. Sleep now or sleep later ( Read more... )
