  • RunningBlog: Week 48

    This flu has really wrecked my training plans for the end of the year. I’m still coughing a lot at night, but it seems to be easing up during the day a bit. So today I went out for my first run in 2.5 weeks. I took it very easy with five minutes’ walk to warm up and then 2:1 run/walk intervals (at a slow pace). I felt pretty good! I didn’t feel any need to cough during the running portions, but on the walks I could tell how weak my lungs are. It felt good to be out in the fresh air and sunshine though. I am excited to put November behind me and kick off my training plan for the Gold Coast Marathon!

    Nov. 28: 2.81km (walking)
    Dec. 1: 2.81km (walking)
    Dec. 2: 4.06km
    Total this week: 4.06km
    Total in 2011: 974.02km (608.7mi)

    To meet my goal of running 1100km in 2011, I’d need to run 126km in the next 4 weeks. That’s 31.5km a week. I don’t think it’s gonna happen, folks.

    @drkknits @kunaal84 He’s been busy this morning, I think. 🙂

    RT @knitterjp: Farewell Grotto Capri http://t.co/OqypddCb It will be a challenge to remove that facade // NOOOO! I’m glad I got to go once.

    RT @Fake_Dispatch: BREAKING: When some one tells you that you can’t have Christmas without Christ, remind them you can’t have Thursday w …

    @drkknits @kunaal84 No, he was legitimately super busy. I imagine he’ll chime in soon. 🙂

    @SallyPompom Huh. No, didn’t know that. But I made Korean food last night, so I celebrated inadvertently. 🙂

    @gilmae I’m at that stage. Day 12 here. Antibiotics do nothing.

  • Movember is finished!

    Well, it’s the first of December, so that means that Movember is finished! The Snook managed to raise $220 in donations. The most exciting part (to me): he actually did go through with his pledge to start tweeting once he hit his target. Looks like everybody’s kicked a goal… 🙂

    He used Everyday to take a photo just about every morning throughout the month. This short animation shows them all in time lapse. I think it’s funniest if you keep your eye on his upper lip. The hair just comes shooting right out! Thanks again to everybody who donated!

    @AusVintageGrrl @zephyrama Maybe things have lightened up a bit. You can certainly swear a *little* bit more than you could 10 yrs ago.

    @randomknits I think I saw that @miss_reecie was selling that at Fabric-a-Brac, maybe??

    @toastman I feel that way sometimes too.

    @Opheli8 Uh, Season 3 I think? Pretty sure.

    @imdominating Wait, what? Levi, you mean, or somebody else?

    @imdominating OH! Ha. Totally misread it. I get it now. I’ve never had a grown up car!

    Time lapse video of @the_snook’s Fauxvember ‘tache: http://t.co/emdGmLpd. You can still donate! http://t.co/PrwNHmrf #movember

    @Krister_RtNP @the_snook I argued the same! I love a good moustache. 🙂

    @drkknits @kunaal84 Whaddaya reckon: Twilight Sunday morning at 10am at George St cinemas? Or Saturday better?

    @drkknits @kunaal84 I don’t think Sunday arvo either, as I’m not sure what time Knitters Tea Party will finish.

  • Little Printer | BERG Cloud

    Little Printer | BERG Cloud – I can’t decide how I feel about this. It’s obviously some pretty cool technology, and the design is great. But thermal printing a mini-newspaper for myself each morning seems so deliberately anachronistic. Like, why wouldn’t I just look at that stuff on my phone? This might actually be TOO HIP for me.

    People who bitch about the disagree button will be 2nd against the wall when my revolution comes. 1st of course, are the actual disagreers.

    I dragged that sucker out behind the shed and shot it. You’re welcome.

    @chrisgander Ew. But whatever it takes to get dudes to NOT pee in public is all right by me. HATE public urinators!!

    @the_snook YOU CAN SEE THE MONKEY STEALING THE PEN. http://t.co/6swCGBsM (cc @kunaal84)

    @drkknits @kunaal84 It looks like a muppet. Super cute.

    Today I learned: Throaties are red but they taste of licorice. Throaties LIE.

    @imdominating HA! I love the Buffy bar. Hmm, need to get myself one for Christmas, I think! 🙂

    @drkknits Ha. I worked on mine last night. I’m not actually knitting mine! Couldn’t be arsed.

    @drkknits The instructions just say: “knit, crochet or make a christmas decoration”. You know my pathological need to be different. 🙂

    @drkknits Nah, I decided to play with felt and buttons. Basically doing these: http://t.co/c1wcICeP

    New obsession: tinted lip balm. Scored some Burt’s Bees yesterday on the recommendation of @gadgetgirl70.

    @brittanieshey I have made this several times: http://t.co/6gZo3KZl. Made it last night, in fact! Eating it again for lunch today. 🙂

    @zephyrama Same reason the women on Sex and the City always wore them to bed. American TV doesn’t like nipples.

  • It’s time.

    *sniff* I think I got something in my eye.
