lj, how i've missed thee - let me count the ways...
so, i've survived the half marathon training that seemed so insane back in feb (who am i kidding? 13 miles still seems crazy even after i've done it!). i've now got a 10-miler and a 10k under my belt which was actually rather fun (well, maybe not so much the 10k: hills = EVIL!! esp when the race is straight uphill on the way back!). definitely v. different to be running w/ a couple thousand people in a race compared to training.
but i think i'm starting to get why ppl get addicted to races and running (it's the free shirts ^_~) seriously, while i don't think running will ever be 'fun' (i can't see myself running along and thinking 'how happy i am to be running!') but that feeling of accomplishment when you finish and cross the finish line feels pretty good. and of course, you get bragging rights ^_~
saw pirates 3 last weekend and now i've suddenly got a hankering for sparrington again *_* actually, pretty much anything w/ jack or james will probably do. must feed the craving...it's been a few years since i last poked around the potc fandom - am v. sad to see that the parley archive's gone :((( hope there's a replacement out there somewhere...
*pokes around for potc fic* hee!
