it’s raining cats and dogs outside today. really. i almost got hit by a beagle on the way in.
(hahahaha, i kill me!)
honestly though, it’s nasty outside. i got up dark and early to go to fitness class, and found it pouring rain outside. i resisted the temptation to crawl back in bed by thinking “oh, but today is the last day of class and it’s our fitness test, i have to go or greta will be disappointed, plus i want to see how much i’ve improved”…only to arrive at gilruth to find that greta wasn’t there because her driveway was flooded and she couldn’t get her car onto the road. sigh. oh well.
because it’s rainy, and because i don’t like to run on the treadmill (it gives me more shin pain than running on the road for some reason), i ended up being glad that i was talked into running with jason last night. he wanted to run 6 miles to make sure he’d be ok in the 10k he’s running on sunday; i ran the first three miles with him to keep him on a slow pace, and then i walked another mile and a half while he ran another 3. he finished in just over an hour. he said his goal was to finish the 10k sunday in under an hour; he’s going to have absolutely no problem with that. as for me, i’m running the 5k on sunday (both races are part of the same event), and i’m aiming for 31:30.
enough boring running babble. dull, dull, dull.
carter got a new camera yesterday but my curiosity is still unsatisfied, as he couldn’t download any pictures last night to send me. stupid batteries.
jordan called last night to hear about stanford; jordan is a guy i know from tech who was a couple years behind me. he’s graduating this month and trying to decide where he wants to go to grad school in the fall. i love stanford. i miss stanford.
i also got to talk to nick finally, since megan has gone and he no longer has visitors to distract him from my all-important calls. 😉 he is recovering from being sick, thank goodness. on monday i got the following email from him that totally cracked me up:
I’m so sick…come take care of me. I want to come home. Freaking country with its freaking food that freaking made me freaking sick. I’ve been sitting here all day watching Dawson’s Creek in French and I am bored to tears. GD.
i cannot wait to go visit him. we are going to have so much fun. and we are going to climb a mountain! and it was his idea to climb it! yayayayayay.
oh. i found out on sunday that i am too old for advent treats this year. mom decided that graduation was the cutoff. how disappointing.
(4:19 p.m.)
the idea of going to san francisco/stanford in may to visit people/run bay to breakers again has just occurred to me. half-joking, but half-serious. this could be quite fun.
