    STRESS!

    @witty_knitter Work stuff. On a Sunday. Shoot me now.

    @witty_knitter I think it’s okay now. Just spent 2 hours tearing my hair and taking out my frustrations on the Snook. Poor guy. 🙁

    @blakkat If you watched six, you watched too many. Star Wars stopped in 1983. Trust me.

    @goldfishgeorge As a fan, I would have been happier NOT seeing them. Ewan McGregor is the only redeeming factor.

    RT @crisdeal: Brilliant piece by @KKeneally on homosexuality and faith. It’ll make you want to go hug a Catholic. http://t.co/rDAGcS3A

    3 mile easy night run with the Snook. Felt good.

  • Superheroes are for girls, too.

    Superheroes are for girls, too. I love it.

    So, this exists. Too bad I can’t link that URL on my site though.

    @purple_velvet Hey, that’s where the lighthouse is that we stayed!

    @drkknits @kunaal84 I believe you mean: GoT:CoK. 🙂

    @witty_knitter AWESOME. You will all be kimchee-assimilated into a better, garlic-infused future. 🙂

    SEO for Non-dicks: http://t.co/qAnYxa7K. I could not approve of this post more.

    Fake it til you make it, right?

    @witty_knitter New responsibilities at work. Being optimistic to avoid getting stressed. 🙂

    Amy Farrah Fowler is my HOMEGIRL. Love her! (cc @drkknits)

    @drkknits In the same subject, neuroscience! She’s awesome. I saw her at DisneyWorld in Jr High and was starstruck. 🙂

    @drkknits Yep. She got to jump the queue on Big Thunder Mountain. That was my idea of the Dizzy Heights of Super Stardom.

    @jannism Yep. I wanted to be her when I was 13, and now I want to be her again 20 years later. 🙂

    @jannism And there’s the fact that I actually married Sheldon…. 🙂

    @mrs_sockvictim *sigh* If I have to, I can help out, Miss Fee. But you should know I don’t get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day.

    @jannism Only in real life. Huh. That would make a pretty easy Halloween costume. Filing that away mentally for future use…

    @jannism I tend to go with no nose for the plain smiley or frown, but somehow I think the tongue face needs one. 😛 vs 😛

    I am not normally a bus panicker, but I suspect I’m trapped in the back of a packed Newtown bus. Halp!

  • RunningBlog: Week 38

    Woo! My first decent distance week in ages. On Sunday I ran the Half-Marathon. I was sore Monday, but not too bad considering the cramping. I actually did a Spudds class Monday night and kicked some butt on the rower. Tuesday I walked to work in the morning. Wednesday I started my new Fitness Class (more on that in a minute) and consequently ran 2.88km before work. That afternoon I walked another couple of km’s across Sydney while lugging a heavy suitcase. Today I did my second Fitness Class before work, and then I walked to my office. Hooray for lots of exercise! It really, really helps my mood.

    Sep. 18: 21.6km
    Sep. 20: 2.72km (walking)
    Sep. 21: 2.88km
    Sep. 21: 1.99km (walking)
    Sep. 23: 3.54km
    Sep: 23: 2.63km (walking)
    Total this week: 28.02km (17.5mi)
    Total in 2011: 853.29km (533.3mi)

    So, the Fitness Class. This is a thing that RunKeeper does. Ailsa and I were talking after the Half-Marathon about our plans, and I said that my goal for the summer was to cut back my distance per week but work on building up some speed. A couple days later, she suggested this Jeff Galloway class which trains you to run a 30:00 5K. There are three runs per week: a tempo run, an interval session, and a long run. The long runs actually build up to 7 miles, which is perfect considering our next race is the 10K Run4Fun in November. The Snook joined me for today’s interval workout, which involved 4 x 400m repeats at faster than goal pace. We managed it, but man, it was tough. I’m looking forward to seeing my progress and hopefully I’ll score a PR at my next event!
