A different kind of count down

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

1 = the number of antibiotics I have left to take 2 = the number of days until my Garmin 305 is delivered to the hotel 3 = the number of sleeps until VEGAS! Life is happy.

My first race report (for my second big race)

Monday, May 25th, 2009

I’m writing this on Sunday at 4 in the hotel room where we don’t have internet (and for some reason we’re unable to purchase it even when we try). I’m taking the hint and staying off-line, but thought I would document the day for your, and my, entertainment. Especially after all the build up this […]

I’m a dork

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

I get excited when I get blog comments. I get really excited when they’re from friends. I get super excited when they come from people whose blogs I read that I don’t know in real life. That’s all.

I lied

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

I’m not going to be thrilled just to run on the weekend. I’m cranky that I trained all winter outside in the snow and cold and am [likely] not going to be 100% by the time this weekend’s race rolls around. Breaking 2 hours seemed like such a good goal – so downgrading my expectations […]

The countdown is on

Monday, May 18th, 2009

The race is less than a week away. And I’m sick. I started feeling “off” friday, and have been getting worse. Saturday I popped Sudafed. Yesterday I decided it was allergies and took Reactin. Today I have a sinus headache (hence the up early) and so am back on Sudafed/Advil. I think I’ll go to […]

STDs are going digital

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Today I got a facebook message from a guy I went on one date with quite some time ago. It was pretty obvious, since I’m super smart, that I shouldn’t click on the link. Anyway, a few minutes later another friend [who shall remain nameless] sent me the same facebook message. I sent her an […]

Chile will be Chilly

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

It’s official – I’m heading to Chile for 10 days at the end of June/beginning of July with my friend Ruth. In typical Jenn style, I’ll be leaving the day after a stagette, and getting home the day of the rehearsal dinner for the same wedding (in which I’m marching). At least there’s not a […]

Where’s Waldo?

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

I had a fun time trying to find myself in the finishing video that the National Post put up of Sunday’s race. Here I am approaching the finish line – I then keep running for about a second and disapear off the screen. Here’s Baron – who ran right in front of the camera. Coincidence? […]

my place in the blogosphere

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

when i started blogging, i did it as a way to keep in touch with people. i was never a fan of the large group mails, preferring instead a blog where i wasn’t forcing my life down people’s throats. but now, i blog mostly for me. i get a kick out of reading old entries […]
