let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

I'm sooo glad I went for a run after work, boy did I need it. Work was busy, hectic almost. I went over to my one of my favorite places. It was so serene and looked amazing in it's quietness. I snapped a couple of pics with my cell phone. It wasn't terribly cold, but the flurries were making for a slippery, slushy mess. Aaaand, I saw another runner out there too! We're in for a snowstorm tonight, its predicted we'll get about 9 inches of snow, so probably no run tomorrow night, damn!

Doughnuts

Mmmm, boston creme doughnuts. I had one of those today. It was yummy. I was feeling a little nostalgic today. A former teacher especially liked boston-creme doughnuts, and would indulge in them occasionally. I was thinking of him today. No special reason. I like it when people who I haven't talked to/or seen in a while pop into my thoughts. It's usually a cue from God to check-in with them. It got me thinking about those days long ago; has it been 15 years? Yikes! Those were fun times, all good thoughts, and good doughnuts.

Who have you been thinking about lately?

Be a Man?

Be a Man? What exactly does that mean? Last night I saw the ladies of Teatro Luna rock "Machos", a play based on interviews with 50 men nationwide and performed in drag. Thanks Super for the date. One of my friends in our group was convinced that some of the cast members were men - nope, not a one. It definitely got us talking. The play presented the mens' true-life stories with a Latina twist. Humor and some seriousness too, the scene portraying different experiences relating to drinking and alcoholism brought tears to my eyes. Did anyone notice? Good stuff. The play, not the liquor. Although....

I LOVE it when magic happens on stage! Nothing, almost NOTHING beats live performances.


Went for another run after work on Friday! Yaaay! I almost didn't because, I must admit, my thighs felt a twinge of soreness. But Girlie convinced me not to be lazy and to get my ass out there. Thanks Girlie, I needed that. It was a little bit colder than Thursday's run, definitely more windy. But it was good, soooooo good. I ran 1.5 miles. I have no idea what my time was. Who cares? I must have been too excited to be out again I didn't look at the time. Yaaay, I'm back!

stats: 1.5 mi.

happy heart day!

I'm in love. Have I mentioned that before? I love running. I ran today after work. It was so wonderful. It was like spending time with a good friend. It was comfortable and comforting and fun. I only ran a mile, but considering I haven't run in three months, that was enough distance to scratch the itch. It was great running along the drive; all the red and white lights in traffic; and the clearest blue sky over the water - HEAVEN. Finally!!!

stats: 1.14 mi.; 10 min.

happy new year

I know it's February, but it feels like I've dropped off the planet. I have, sort of. At least it feels like it since I haven't been running at all this winter. Not good. Not good at all. Especially since I have a race in a month, uh oh. Gotta get to the running, fast (pun intended; I crack myself up.)


Let's see what's new. Well.....I rode in the back of a police car last week. Sounds exciting right? It wasn't. You can ask me about it sometime. What else is new? I have a new toenail! I injured my toe a few months back on a run but didn't think anything of it. The toenail never bruised, it was a little discolored and flaky. Well I saw my podiatrist and there was already a new nail growing in, who knew? Not me. THAT was exciting, I felt like such a runner, new toenail and all.

I've signed up for one of my favorites races again, that's still a couple of months away, during my birthday weekend. Yaaay, it should be fun.

What's new with you?
