back in the saddle

i'm a whiz at proportion i hope the running i've been doing since august is good enough to consider a "base". some weeks were better than others, and i averaged about 30mpw for the past three months. now it's time to put my nose to the grindstone. that doesn't sound very pleasant, but then again...

stickers!

back in early-december, i was contacted by megan of build-a-sign about getting to create my own product - sticker, magnet, sign, banner. because i'm a procrastinator (and indecisive, and don't have computer graphics skills) it took me awhile to settle on a design. it had nothing to do with the company's...

stylin' and profilin'

stacy and clinton, er, amy lauren and matt tagged me with the 'stylish' blogger award. i feel i am devaluing the award though. i mean... i am just now making an effort to get dressed for work as though i (somewhat) care. aka, attempting to cover my wife beater base layer. who knows how long...

ragnar relay florida keys 2011: leg 2

as i left off, we fueled at ihop and headed towards the next major exchange. apparently we got a little turned-around en route, but i didn't know because i fell asleep. we split up - some dozed in the van, others outside on the grass. raffi did yoga and joined me for s'mores. a piece of my iphone screen...

runching

today i runched (noun - a light midday run between morning and evening; verb - to run during lunch). ten minutes into my run, i started getting the shakes. i had eaten some (dry) cereal and homemade yogurt for breakfast around 9, so i don't understand where they come from (it's happened before). i...

donut run

kathrin invited me to a donut run put on by her tri coach, katie, of malone coaching. i convinced josh to do it, but he said i had to do it too even though he knows i'm allergic to donuts. he's been wanting to do the krispy kreme challenge but unfortunately it hasn't jived with our schedule thus far....

snowjam 2011

you probably haven't heard, but it snowed earlier this week. it almost interfered with my flight back from florida, but the pilot was macho and wanted to fly it even though the other florida-to-gsp flights were canceled. it was actually the smoothest landing ever, and all the other passengers broke...

tag productivity

cleaning out 'stuff' desperately also applies to my e-stuff -- paring down google reader, tidying up my not-so-tidy inbox. step one, get around to answering old emails with a mishmash of taggings from last year (and one i dodged answering). from september 1: (see procrastination) the happy 101 award from...

revvin' in '11

here in the ctk house we really know how to party. josh had a 24-hr bug and spent new year's eve with the porcelain god, completely foiling our plans to go out to da club. i accused him of faking it the next day and he said "well i have conveniently been sick whenever we have plans to go out dancing". hmmmm. oh well, the club couldn't have handled me anyway. he went to bed at 9:30 and i listened...

rearview mirror - 2010

2010 was the year of nausea, have i mentioned that yet? it finally cleared up in september/october and these last 2-3 months have been soo nice to feel "normal" again. hopefully i won't have any lapses in '11.  the constant "off" feeling kept me from running consistently all summer, but gave me an excuse to be guiltlessly lazy. it was still a good year - i ran a decent amount of miles and...
