short & sweet

our *mysterious* honeymoon destination has un-free wifi at dial-up speed so this is going to be a quick one. the wedding was perfect! could not have had a smoother, more perfect day. the weather held up beautifully and i think everyone had a good time (i hope anyway! we sure did). thanks for all the thoughts and weather-prayers. thanks for the congrats and well-wishes too! i've certainly felt loved...

going to the chapel

i'm taking a mini hiatus... 'cause i'm getting married this weekend! i've been running around all week on some last minute errands, and not running-running 'cause i've been feeling like crap (great timing for that). i haven't slept all week either; not because of nerves or cold feet, but because of the feeling-like-crap part...

sowl: produce love

the first challenge (i think) in the sowl (summer of weight loss) is to try a new fruit and vegetable. i'm probably cheating on this one.... v8 is made from vegetables, and even though i've had these veggies individually, i haven't had them in the form of v8. hence, my "new" vegetable. it tasted like...

bad apple

my beloved, four-month old macbook quit working last thursday-ish, taking my garmin connect and spreadsheets with it. i'm hoping since it was still so young it falls under some sort of warranty, but with the holiday weekend i haven't had a chance to take it to the apple doctor yet. luckily i was backing...

htfu (and go lite!)

after not sleeping well tuesday night, i woke wednesday morning not quite in the mood to run. however i also knew that i would be in a bad mood all day if i did not go running and that i'd probably be too lazy in the hot afternoon heat to run later. so begrudgingly, out the door i went. i made it maybe...
