Yesterday, I was mishearing the lyrics on the song “One Monkey,” which is on the DVD that Harriet sent me. My mishearing progression went like this:
My mother don’t stop to shoot (um, no)
One Monkey don’t stop to shoot [this is my favorite option and how I intend to sing it at home]
One monkey don’t stop [...]
I ran in the rain on Sunday–I only went out because it was cool and I love to run in Spring with the rain hitting my face.

I am wearing a bra that is too small for me. I hope that I don’t have to run anywhere or raise my arms. Ugliness will ensue. I am [...]
I saw August: Osage County again this weekend. Instead of being in the Mezzanine on the right as I faced the stage, I was in the orchestra on the left side. I liked the play even more the second time and, in fact, am trying to think of a good excuse to see it a [...]
In my quest to get faster for the Mini 10k, which is 3 weeks away, I have been running faster during my regular runs. Last night I did the 3.35 miles in an 11:25/mile pace. I’m not sure what my times were for each mile because we were running in reverse and I don’t know [...]
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,” [...]
