(no subject)
Well, it's been half a year since my last update. I wasn't inclined to do so tonight, but I came across this survey and thought it was worth doing to pass some time. But first, a few updates:
-I completed my first marathon (26.2 miles) on Sunday, June 3 in San Diego. I didn't complete it under my expected time, but I crossed the finish line, so all is well. I'm currently training for the Philadelphia Distance Run (13.1miles).
-Moved to a new office for the 3rd time in 2 years. I think I may get to stay in this one for the summer, at least.
Sadly, I can't think of much else to write regarding the past 6 months. So on with the survey...
1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
The scar on the shin of my left leg...I was training on my own one day around Kissel Hill and didn't see the spiky, spiny bush on the side of the road. I tripped over it and the branches cut my leg twice. Since I didn't think it was that bad, I decided to finish the route and ended up bleeding onto my socks and sneakers.

Not much.
3. DO YOU SNORE, GRIND YOUR TEETH, OR TALK IN YOUR SLEEP?
