    RT @steveathon: Awesome photo of one of the @Yahoo devs working hard on #apps4nsw hacks http://t.co/7ko2ro8 // It’s the Snook!!


    @steveathon Well, and he’s using MY MacBook! 😛


    @knitabulous Must admit, haven’t worn mine much. The wool annoys me too, which doesn’t help.

    Saw this one come across Twitter this morning and did a double-take. I’d know that neck anywhere! It’s my very own @Rodd. Great photo. Got retweeted all over the place.

    Inspiring Colour Combinations. Wow. A lovely post by my friend Ailsa about how she took inspiration from something she saw online.

    @knitness Dude, going off Depo for a while certainly had some, uh, impact on me too. Shame I couldn’t stay that way, really! 🙂

    @eileenDCoE HOLY CRAP. You just made me realize – is Gaius Baltar in that movie as her friend?!?!


    Best wishes to @kunaal84 on his trip home!!


    Mr Snook is off to #apps4nsw Hack Day in his Team Yahoo shirt. #geekwifeswoon http://twitpic.com/41655c


    Went to Eveleigh to get mushrooms for tomorrow’s Jamie recipe. Yowza. Might be most expensive meal yet.


    @eileenDCoE I do them in the microwave. Much easier.


    Slight regret that I didn’t go to #apps4nsw with Snook, if only to increase the number of geek girls! But there’s knitting to be done…


  • RunningBlog: Week 7

    This was one of my longest distance weeks ever! On Saturday about ten of us got together for a dailymile meetup and 5K run. The Snook and Kunaal were there too. My foot was still taped up, and I was amazed at what a difference it made. I didn’t have any pain on the 20 minute walk through Glebe to get to the starting line, and the first 3K of the run were pain-free too. (I said to the Snook: “It feels like I got a foot transplant!”) By the 4th kilometer though, I started to feel my arch aching a bit beneath the tape. Still, it wasn’t too bad. On Sunday I did my longest run since the Half-Marathon last year: 19km (12 miles). I did 1:1 run/walk the whole way. I went to Centennial Park, did a couple big loops, then headed back. The Snook met me and ran the last few km’s with me. I felt surprisingly good and I didn’t have much trouble with recovery afterwards. My foot was sore, but I think the tape definitely made a difference. I took Monday and Tuesday off to rest. Tuesday night I did a core workout at home, then Wednesday had a killer session at Spudds. Thursday night I walked home from work carrying a big heavy backpack. And then this morning went for a slow 6km on a grey and humid morning.

    Feb. 12: 5.34km
    Feb. 13: 19.51km
    Feb. 18: 6.02km
    Total this week: 30.87km (19.3mi)
    Total in 2010: 161.84km (101.1mi)

    I’ve crossed the 100-mile threshold for the year! To meet my goal of running 1100km in 2011, I should be at 148km right now. Wow, my buffer is growing! Time for another cutback week though to give everything a rest.

    I’ve also got a follow-up session with the podiatrist today. I’ll let you know the outcome…

    Wait, what? I got Notre Dame around the corner, and Boston University a few blocks away? I had no idea.
