I’ve been invited to the w3dding of a friend that I used to work with. I received a beautiful (and ornate) invitation earlier this week. I’m not sure what to do, since it would cost a lot of money and it’s 350 miles away. But also, I don’t do well at weddings where I don’t know anyone. I’ve [...]
The cat had a good night last night. I did not. My hall is being painted, which means that there is heavy paper covering my wood floors. My musical beast rubbed her paw-pads against the paper to produce a sound like sandpaper rubbing against wood. She didn’t stop. When I finally looked at the clock I [...]
Today at *bucks, as I was leaving with my PMS tea, the barista yelled out a drink to be picked up, “Venti iced no whip 6 shot mocha.” I felt jealous. Everyone else was pointing and laughing about the crazy hyper nightmare the drinker would be. I’m still jealous.
I’m a little “off” today, partially because [...]
It was a very tough race. Having a 13.1 mile race 8 days before a ten mile race is not easy. Also, Central Park is very hilly and K and I remember that we haven’t done much hill work.
Mile 1: 11:50–too fast. K and I chat and decide that we need to warm up, do [...]
I slept until 10. Ten hours of sleep! Therefore, I am in a very good mood at the moment. No worries, I’m sure it’ll go away.
I got up and ran out to the Greenmarket. I wasn’t sweaty and I didn’t feel rushed. AT the demo table they were making French Toast and [...]
Last night we ran the 3.35 mile loop, which I did in just under an 11:45/mile pace. It was tough because of the humidity. For me, running faster than I am comfortable with often gives me the sensation that I need to poo. This is probably reason 127 that I don’t like to run “fast,” [...]
I must remember that I don’t like fish or seafood cakes of any kind. I got codcakes last night at a restaurant. I managed to choke down most of it, but was pretty disgusted. They were too heavy and greasy and nasty. I hate eating food that I don’t like because there is so much [...]
Yesterday did turn out to be a fine day after my crazy nightmare of the night before. And I had a decent night of sleep last night, which leaves me feeling more like a human and less like a headache machine.
My mind is turning to the Mother’s Day 10 mile race on Sunday. I don’t think [...]
Here are my few words before I head off into my annual physical and then to work.
Yesterday was a lovely day off, featuring pedicures, brunch, sandals and seitan. We went to Angel!ca with H’s sister to eat vegan. I truly love seitan. As often happens after a long race, my weight is way up. Like [...]
I enjoyed my race yesterday (see previous post) and I had a good recovery run today. I am also happy to be taking tomorrow off from work to spent with my friend H, who will arrive in a few hours.
Next weekend I am doing a 10 mile race in Central Park. Last year I did [...]
