Baker’s Delight Mocha Hot Cross Bun – should be evil, but may actually be the best HC bun I’ve had EVER. Thanks, BD chick for recommending!
People are queueing early to meet Biggest Loser trainer Michelle at Coles Broadway. Beware if you’re headed that way!
Waiting for a cab. Too much to carry to Guild meeting!
@morgancarpenter I’m interested! Trying to talk the Snook into it. 🙂
Nearly left my knitting at work! Off to M&S…
@gusseting I’m annoyed she’s so painfully thin. Where is Joan’s Va-Va-Voom?!
@tytana_ @Opheli8 Definitely. Let’s try less food poisoning this time!
Watching too much Jeeves and Wooster. Feel the urge to use phrases like “Toodle-pip!” and “What ho, Fink-Nottle?” in everyday conversation.
RT @crowderband: Palindrome of the day: Go hang a salami, I’m a lasagna hog.
@toastman I was going to send you that link today. I am still marvelling that “Dervla” is a common name in East Cork. Who knew?
@randomknits Not I, said the cat (and me).
Can’t wait til next Thursday, when the Snook and I will be seeing “Kick-Ass” with Q&A with the director: http://bit.ly/at8205
I’m still experiencing the after-effects of the Public Nudity Epiphany, I think. For the past 15 months, I’ve been struggling with the rowing machine at my weekly Spudds session. There’s always at least one station on the circuit where you do two 20 second rowing sprints separated by a 10 second rest. The goal is to get 100 meters in 20 seconds. I’ve done it a few times in the past year, but I’ve never been able to get two in a row. My form is improving though, and I’ve been closing in. (Last week I had 101 and 98.) Yesterday I stood before the machine and took a few seconds to visualise myself doing it. Then I sat down and strapped in. The first 20s felt good, and I was well within pace. I got 101m for that one. Spudds came over to congratulate me and told me to “stay loose” during the 10 second rest. “Back yourself!” he yelled. And I was off. My pace was slower, and my technique was definitely sloppier. But he stood over me shouting that I could do it, and I gave it everything I had. As the buzzer sounded, my distance slipped upwards… and stopped on 100m. I gave a shout. It was as satisfying as finishing my first half-marathon. He gave me a high-five and told me that I was the first female to do it. (I’m a little doubtful of that; I’m sure some of the women in his evening classes could do it. Still, it’s a big accomplishment.) I tweeted afterwards: “I feel like I can do anything.” I really do. This whole “self-confidence” buzz is intoxicating.
But hey, running is what this is all about, right? Because of my continuing issues with my right foot, I’ve dropped my running back to three days a week (rather than four). With my Sunday distance increasing, I want to give my arch as much rest time as possible.
Mar. 5: 5.27km
Mar. 7: 10.16km
Mar. 9: 5.43km
Total this week: 20.86km
Total in 2010: 191.27km (119.5mi)
To meet my 1000km goal, I should be at 192km. So right on track!
Molasses Coffee Marinated Pork Chops from Alton Brown. Yum. I’ve got some pork chops in the freezer just begging for this…
It took me 15 months, but I finally got 2 x 100m/20s on the rowing machine. Not many girls do, apparently. I feel like I can do anything. 🙂
Five meetings in one day. I think that’s a personal record.
Alas, poor Magic Pudding, I knew him well! http://twitpic.com/17phgo
@liedra That’s not the app; it’s likely the best your monitor does! Can’t get more than that, usually. What’s the thing you’re capturing?
@rhagern I haven’t spotted us in any of them yet. Hilarious that we were both there. Would’ve been funny to meet that way! 🙂
@rhagern I haven’t been able to spot us in any of the pics yet, sadly. Yours was great!
@rhagern Nah, we only did the outside bit. We had to go to work!

Just completed a 1.43 km walk with RunKeeper
@Opheli8 Can I be the meeting Princess?
@randomknits Grafted and everything? Did you use the written-out instructions available online?
@randomknits Just google “rogue hood grafting” if you want to pull it back and be completely Hermione about it. 🙂
@lukerides Maybe median is more meaningful than average? Put it in the middle of the bell curve. (Not that $150K could be psbly be median.)
Heading to #IIBA talk with @venks79. Work stuff + alcohol is always fun.
@venks79 Seriously. I saw you tweeting during the speech! Naughty.
@drkknits I need to get caught up on that. Snook and I are massive Boston Rob and Ambah fans. 🙂
@kunaal84 Congrats on your last day! Looking forward to welcoming you aboard next week. 🙂
Peter Sagal (of Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me fame) has a column in Runner’s World this month and has blogged his “Three G’s for Runners”. It’s got some nice pointers for anybody starting out in running.

Congrats and to many more 🙌🏽
