Ooh, Bex linked to this great dirndl skirt tutorial. Fun! I need to get a big roll of tracing paper so I can draft some patterns.

RunningBlog: Week 3
This week was packed with exercise! It started on Saturday with a core workout (36 push ups, 71 sit ups, and 55 squats). Sunday was my long run. It was technically Week 9 of my Galloway marathon plan, so the scheduled LSR was 9 miles. I did it with 2:1 run/walk intervals the whole way, and I ran the middle 6K with Fiona. After resting Monday, I did an easy recovery run Tuesday morning and a Spudds circuit that night. I did another Spudds class Wednesday at lunchtime. Thursday I did another core workout (39 push ups, 79 sit ups, and 60 squats). And today I ran to work in the morning wearing a heavy backpack. PHEW!
Jan 16. 14.91km
Jan 18: 6.06km
Jan 21: 5.37km
Total this week: 26.34km (16.5mi)
Total in 2011: 64.53km (40.3mi)To meet my goal of running 1100km in 2011, I should be at 63.46km. So I’m now 1km ahead of pace! This next week will be another cutback week, so I’m going to try to rest up before the next long one.

@Kat13v Constitutional crisis?
Thinking of ordering some more dresses from http://heartbreakerfashion.com/. Anybody want to combine on shipping?
@Opheli8 Okay! I bought two a few months ago and they’re very nice. Not too expensive either!
@Ezzles Maybe tonight? @Opheli8 is going to have a look later today as well.
Woo! Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals just arrived from Doubleday. HALF the cost of Oz bookstores and free shipping: http://bit.ly/hyfYqW RIPPER.

Second gym session in less than 24 hours… AND DOUBLE HUNDREDS ON THE ROWER, BABY. 102m and 100m. My co-worker said, “I’ve never heard you yell so loud at a workout before!”

- Starbucks Trenta Slightly Larger Than Average Human Stomach Capacity – This sounds stupid, but I don’t get what’s actually in the cup. Like, you couldn’t possibly drink that much actual coffee. The caffeine would make you sick. So it must be mostly water or milk, I guess?
