must blog

Haven't blogged for a whole week. Unfortunately, I haven't done much working out, either.

The funny thing is, I have a lot to write about. My best friend's wedding was on Saturday. My birthday was on Sunday. The whole 9/11 thing, also on my mind.

I flew into town on Thursday night and tried to be a good bridesmaid by tying bows on anything I could, taking the bride out for a drink, and trying to get her to bed early. It was an awesome wedding and a good time was had by all.

I tried to plan ahead, training-wise, and planned to do a 12 mile run around a small lake near my parents house on Friday morning. It's only about 1.25 miles around the lake, so I was going to do 10 laps, or as much as I had time for. My plan was foiled by getting up late and bringing the dog. My parents have this very sweet greyhound who LOOOOVES when I take her for walks and gets all excited when I put on my running shoes. You would think that a greyhound would be a pretty good running partner, but she gets tired after about 2 minutes and keeps wanting to stop and pee. Anyway, we only made one lap around the lake, and I think I would have had to carry her for a 2nd. Oh well, I had to get to my mani/pedi, and various wedding preparations.

No time Saturday, which I expected. Hair, pictures, etc. Does wedding dancing to count as a workout? Sunday - also a bust, but a nice birthday.

Monday - brought gym clothes to work, but feeling totally exhausted. Walked home from the train station, about 1.5 miles, in an attempt to do something. More of the same today. I think I am fighting a cold - have a little sore throat and fell asleep twice on the train. Been eating a lot of cookies -- not good.

Big race on Sunday. Hurricane swell is coming up the coast. The swim should be interesting.

Now that I am back to blogging, maybe I'll start working out!
