While looking at the list of special events and the schedule for tomorrow afternoon, I found myself thinking, "Hm, maybe I should just spend the day in the city, tidying and sorting pictures. That would make me less stressed. Heck, if my neck still feels like this, why bother going out to NJ to be whiny all weekend." Even flipping through the ( Read more... )

So I bought the shoes(a), but had a few doubts about the shininess of the patent leather for shoes that I was intending to wear twice a week to work. They didn't have the regular leather version(b) in the store, but since I'd just bought a pair, I knew the exact size. Made my first purchase at Zappo. Sent the link to my sister for an opinion on ( Read more... )

Can you tell I just finished my run? I feel like I could leap buildings in a single bound!

Speaking of awesome, ( vanity )

It was a more prosaic exercise-full weekend, I'm afraid. Sat morning I lifted weights for the first time since before Africa. It seemed low key - five plates of help with my chinups, 20lbs for flat chest presses, no weight for my step-ups - but I was hobbling the next morning. Apparently there's a difference between admiring someone else's ( Read more... )

Ran two laps around the lower loop, just 3.43mi in 37 mins, i.e. a reasonable pace. The ankle felt fine for the first lap and a little twinge-y on the second.
