Long Obnoxious Week

Oh, I'm so glad this week is almost over...

March 27: Around the Block - or maybe Prospect Park - I actually can't remember
March 28: Around the Block
March 29: Around the Block
March 30: Around the Block
March 31: Around the Block

Managed to run after one rainstorm and before another. That's been the highlight of my week so far. :)

Tomorrow is April 1st. Tomorrow is day 820. 820 days of running every day and 820 days left of fellowship.

Memory Lane

March 22: Around the block
March 23: Around the block
March 24: Around the block

March 26: Prospect Park

So today, when I finally woke up around 10:30, I found Mr. Holland's Opus on TV. And then, after that trip down memory lane, I did my run. Now I'm cooling off and going out to LI to hang out with Loren. It's a memory lane kinda weekend!

Ouch

So I think scrubbing is going to hurt tomorrow given the spill I took running tonight and the scrapes on my hands...

March 21: Around the Block with a good spill on the trip home

Tripped on the sidewalk, fell with my hands bracing me on my palms and right forearm. Right palm torn to shreds, left seems okay, right elbow all scraped up too.

Bumped

So I took the "bump" yesterday on Southwest because they were oversold. Got to stay in San Antonio for an extra day - got $300 plus flight reimbursement, a hotel for the night, and a $5 coupon for airport food.

What I didn't get was my bags, which arrived in NY ahead of me. So I found a Sports Authority last night and bought a pair of shorts, sports bra, and a t-shirt so I could run this morning. I figured I'd run in flip flops before...

March 13: a slow 13 minute mile in my flip flops

So I lost the hour already this morning. And I lose another hour going back to the East Coast. But I've got my last book to read and am trying to get excited about going home.

Good Bye San Antonio

March 12: Treadmill Run at Candlewood Suites

It seemed a little chilly this morning, so I can on the treadmill again. I've managed to go an entire week without my inhaler - though I have had my asthmatic cough and am wheezing off and on. Looking forward to a puff tonight and a good night's sleep after my flight home.

So Sat morning, I left for CT; went to Foxwoods to celebrate Kev's 30th. Then had a car take me to the airport really early in the morning Sunday. Flew to Florida and went straight to the conference. Then out til midnight-ish. The up for conference, run, and out til 3 am. Then up for conference, some pool time and a run, out with Tana, and then up early to fly to San Antonio. A run, the conference, out to dinner, back to hotel around midnight. Back to the conference, run, out with Heather, back to hotel around 2 am. Slept in this morning, ran, and now it's back to the conference.

Restful? Notsomuch. Fun? Definitely.

Oh, I can't wait. Mainly because I just want a break for a bit. Even if it's a week of conferences, I want some sun and fun.

March 2: Around the block

Happy birthday to Godfather, Eric and my brother Kev!
