@sixandahalfst Wow. Just wow.
Nora’s story is now on the Telegraph website: http://bit.ly/nNkXMr (cc @zephyrama @drkknits @witty_knitter @sixandahalfst)
@zephyrama Wow. Yeah, she rang M-H’s boss at work. I’ve not had any personal interaction with her, thankfully…
Very, very interesting week at work.
@toastman I won’t let you down. *nods briskly*
Last run before c2s. Nice and easy!
Latch Hooked Childhood Cats. The Snook and I have joked about turning Dr. Amy Jones into a rug of some sort when she’s gone. This is nearly as good!
Climbing back on the horse! The Snook and I dutifully skipped last week’s 7K Bay Run (as ordered by our doctor) which meant we had more than a week off running. On Tuesday I went out in the early morning for a little jog around Newtown by myself. (The Snook ran at lunch.) I couldn’t do Spudds this week as I was at a training course from Tuesday to Thursday. I went for another run today at lunch with Raj. I feel really slow and heavy right now (the training course was all carbs and coffee) but it’s nice to be back on the right track.
Aug 9: 5.4km
Aug 12: 5.63km
Total this week: 11.03km (6.9mi)
Total in 2011: 743.25km (464.5mi)
To meet my goal of running 1200km in 2011, I should be at 738.4km right now. So yeah. The big cushion I built up in marathon training has totally been whittled down by a few weeks of injury and illness! It should start going up again though. This Sunday is the City 2 Surf, and I wouldn’t miss it for the world…
Training course is OVER! Overall very good and I think I got a lot out of it. Not looking forward to my work inbox tomorrow though…
@AusVintageGrrl I LOVE TOTES. Me and @thezedmiester used to say it ironically at work, but then it… became a habit. Totes addictive. 🙂
@drkknits Hm. YOU ARE MAKING ME WONDER AND I STILL HAVE LIKE 2000 PAGES TO CATCH UP TO YOU. KNOCK IT OFF.
Happy birthday @squozen! I hope someone knitted you something nice. 🙂
@sixandahalfst Best of luck… Be strong.
@kir_s_ten Definitely! Will be treating it as a nice slow training run, but I’ll be there. 🙂
Wow, quiet around here, huh? I’ve spent the past three days away from work on this training course. It was a nice little change to not be staring at a computer all day long…
Training day 2. Going well! Getting good ideas for requirements gathering techniques. Having fun. (My fun is of the nerdy kind.)
Recipe recommendation: Alton Brown’s Molasses Coffee Marinated Pork Chops. AMAZING. http://t.co/D8epDLX
@jannism Dude. When did you have such a cute kid? She’s lovely. Clever too, I bet! 🙂

Training course going great so far. Teacher is really good! Other attendees all with banks though. Makes my projects seem very trivial.
Training day 1 is over! Totally rocked my mock client interview. #happy #hermione
Unexpected lesson: Man, I do NOT want to ever work for the Reserve Bank of Australia.
@thisismywww Unfortunately it’s all catered, so we’re pretty much on-site the whole time. No chance to meet up!
Downside of training course: copious amounts of catered carbs and coffee. I’m WIRED. (And alliterative.)
Filled out our census. Snook tried to get me to quote that bit from Office Space as my job description: “I’M A PEOPLE PERSON!”
@hexsteph Everyone in or near the city of Boston. 🙂
