Maternal Profiling
In working on today's work blog entry, I found this post on maternal profiling, a new term recently featured in the NYT. Can I just say again (remind me in May that I said this): I love my workplace! -
Home Again
Got back to BOS Friday night, after a series of flights in which Speedy paid me back for his good behavior on the trip down. I can't complain, since toddler-like behavior is actually relatively rare for him. But I did spend about 1/3 of the trip experimenting with how to keep him from kicking the MIT student in front of him.

Where in the world is...
I've ben in NC for the past 2 weeks with the fam. Just had a fabulous massage with an old friend, and am too jello-y to get into details, but I'll be home tomorrow, and back online shortly.
PS - I have a puppy's chin on my knee. Life is good. -
Toddler Pun
"Do you want some Muenster cheese?"
"[Speedy] want Cookie Monster Cheese! Cookie Monster Cheese in mouth!"
I'm delighted! NOW I am ready to go for a 14 mile run. -
And the Winner is...RuningAHEAD
Thanks to a helpful RunningAHEAD forum posting that let me retrieve all of my CR running data! After transferring it over to Active, I thought I was going to have to manually reenter it all, or lose every workout back to the first post-partum run at 7 1/2 weeks:

More Coolrunning Fallout
Having given up on Coolrunning after they sold out to ActiveTrainer, I'm now shopping for a new running log site. I thought it was going to be MapMyRun, but I'm still hoping for a way to synch with my blog. Here's the summary:
- LogYourRun - GoogleMaps route create/store functionality; thorough data entry fields (including "running stroller" check ( Read more... )

Boston Marathon spots available
The Swadfather's work, Metropolitan Boston Housing Partnership, has "non-qualified runner" numbers for the 2008 Boston Marathon. These are charity slots, where a qualifying time is waived in exchange for fundraising for MBHP. The deadline for application has been extended to Dec. 28, 2007. Go! Run!
After a lot of thought, I'm passing on this in ( Read more... ) -
Oh, and... daycare woes
We're looking actively for another daycare. The Jesus quotient in this week's toddler lesson plan was just unacceptable. And i can't take Speedy belting out "Jingle Bells" & "Kumbaya" any more. (Though he can make motzi by himself, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much about his excellent memory ( Read more... ) -
Shameless Surfing!
So, the Swadfather is out doing the homeless census tonight, and while I should be wrapping up stuff for work, I have instead been clicking mindlessly from blog to blog. (Ok, I can justify this as work, b/c 90% of them have been permaculture/local ag/gardening blogs, and I am working on a "how much edible landscape can we squeeze into a back yard ( Read more... ) -
Gym Ettiquite ("Should I tell him?")
Black ice is bad. Especially at 7.5 min/mile. So I did my speedwork on the treadmill last night for the first time this winter. Yuck. But I learned from the 11-miler that I did on Sunday when it only got colder form the 26 degree start. Wicking underwear is your friend!
Aside: Pre-Speedy, I went to a fancy women's gym, but post-Speedy, we have ( Read more... )
