    Just had great FaceTime chat with my Mom. iPhone is gateway drug; whole family is Switching now! Free video chat is very “tomorrow.”

    Crap. Throat is officially sore. Tomorrow’s long run *may* have to be postponed til Tuesday. (cc @laimelde @kunaal84 @mrs_sockvictim)


    I am eating a dark chocolate Easter Bunny from Sweetness the Patisserie. It is the BEST. THING. EVER. http://bit.ly/dZCbvx


    I have learned another ukulele song: “Leaving on a Jet Plane.” THIS IS FUN. (cc @drkknits)


    @missamanda I’ve had desensitisation to dust mites and grass. For like the last 5 years.


    @missamanda I used to take a Zyrtec every single day to survive. I’m down to maybe 1/wk or less now. So it’s helped a lot.


    @missamanda The stuff was like $150 maybe every 9 months? And then the cost of getting all the shots. Medicare pays some of it.


    @missamanda Shots were every 2 wks for first few months, then gradually stretched out to every month as dosage increased.


    @missamanda It’s a bit voodoo though. Drs aren’t quite sure how or why it works. And it doesn’t cure totally; just helps mitigate a bit.


    @missamanda I only stopped because I was burnt out on going to the doc every single month. You have to commit to that to get any benefits.


    @drkknits Go to YouTube and look up John Denver version. That’s the key I’m doing it in!


    @knitabulous @drkknits Sadly, yes. But John’s is best!


    @drkknits iTunes has heaps. Even Sinatra covered it!


    Tonight’s Jamie meal: Wonky Summer Pasta, Herby Salad, Pear Drop Tartlets. Fastest one yet: 33:26!! http://twitpic.com/4oe0m8


    Longest run ever tomorrow. I could not be better prepared… with the exception of this stupid cold. Now to try and sleep.


    It’s the buttcrack of dawn. Coffee, bagel with peanut butter. Hydrating. I am going to rock this run.

  • Open Forums at Humanist Society

    The SMH has a story today about the “Open Forum” at the Humanist Society here in Chippendale. I walk by some Wednesday nights and hear them through the open windows. I like that we have these quirky little societies in our neighbourhood.

    I was interested to see that the article made no mention of the whole “Neo-Nazis invade Humanist Society” scandal from last year. Anybody know what finally happened with that? At the time I actually emailed about joining, thinking they could at least use my postal vote to kick out the fascists. But they never did get back to me…

    @toastman I am disappointed that’s a fake site, frankly.


    No breakfast in the house. We planned to go to Eveleigh Markets. But it’s pissing down, as it always does in Sydney on Easter break. ๐Ÿ™

    Nice easy 3:1 run/walk with the Snook.


  • RunningBlog: Week 16

    The week started out crappy – what with my mystery cheek infection and being on antibiotics and all – but slowly got better. Sunday I went out for a six-miler with the Snook, with a planned “Magic Mile” time trial for the second mile. We pushed hard and I felt like I was going to barf or explode by the end of it. I was thrilled to see our time was 9:46! Using Galloway’s Race Predictor and our average times for the past 3 MMs, that gives me a predicted marathon finish time of 5:39:28. Sweet! Monday I was wiped out so I rested. Tuesday I went out for an easy lunchtime run, and Wednesday I did a Spudds workout. Now we’re on a 5-day Easter/ANZAC day holiday long weekend, so the Snook went with me today for a run to Glebe. My hamstring still isn’t great, but I’m hoping it’ll hold up for Sunday’s long, long one!

    Apr. 17: 9.67km
    Apr. 19: 5.52km
    Apr. 22: 5.80km
    Total this week: 20.99km (13.1mi)
    Total in 2011: 380.21km (237.6mi)

    In order to meet my goal of running 1100km in 2011, I should be at 338.5km right now. So I’ve still got more than 40km worth of cushion. Only 7 weeks to go!

    @laimelde I emailed you with my schedule. Should be 10:30 ish?


    @laimelde And yay!


    @imdominating Oooh. I read the book. I SOBBED AND SOBBED. I can only imagine that I’d sob even more if Viggo was involved.


    Yay! @carbolicious got the Easter package I sent. Video of kids opening it is CUTEST THING EVER. http://bit.ly/hvJEOp Love Indie’s GASPS! ๐Ÿ™‚


    Aww, Red Cross just rang me to personally thank me for donating! That was nice. Makes up for the vicious bruise I’ve had for over a week.


    Sometimes the most important thing to do in your day is cheer up a friend who needs it!


    @gizo Nuh. Works fine for me!


    RT @MisterShuffles: I don’t know who this Jesus guy is, but he sure has made lots of you happy by getting you days off work!


    RT @runasand: (1) Apple is not collecting data, (2) Hidden file is neither new nor secret, (3) “Discovery” published months ago: http:// …


    I thought I was coming down with a cold, and then I had a couple glasses of wine, and now I feel fiiiiiiiine. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @gizo Don’t be a sad! For I haz friended you.


    @redambition Avoid the Long Island Iced Tea. They’re very good. But… BADNESS. ASK ME HOW I KNOW.


    @kunaal84 AWESOME. Was it good???


    @devvyleys May well be the case! She did a great job, but I still have massive purple splotch on my arm.


    @lemon_lime HAVE FUN! Say Bon Voyage from me to Jamie too!


    @SallyPompom Very! Please take photos. We miss her. And you! ๐Ÿ™‚
