My sister told me she is having another baby earlier tonight.
It was like my world just paused for a moment. My axis tilted. It was like a pendulous weight that heaved up out of it's cradle, for just a split second and then settled back into place.
It isn't for me. I chose my course. There is this burning frustration. To DO something. To accomplish something. I have to stop wishing for somone to set me on my path. I have to find it for myself.

Thunk
The sound of me falling off the wagon. At 3 am, Karl's Jr. drive up window, chix strips and crisscut fries. AND no workout. Minor setback. Just going to get back on the horse, or rather off the feed.
On a side note, they turned off the water in my building again today, again without warning, so no shower before work for me!
Fanfrackingtastic!
p.s. that was a little Battlestar Galactica reference. I love you if you got it!

Sigh...
This morning..
4.32 miles in 51.39 minutes. If you allow 4 minutes for stoplights, I am doing approx an 11 minute mile.
It's ok. I can be ok with that.
I am setting a goal for myself.
130 Lbs and 2 inches off of each thigh
It is realistic, it will make me a solid size 4 and the loss of 10 pounds will make my marathon training a little easier.

Running Journal...
It is tragic. How far the mighty have fallen? Pathetic really.
Ok. So, I've never actually been a fast runner. But I used to do a decent (ie:comfortable, no gasping) 10 minute mile. I ran a marathon last year, a feat I never even imagined I would contemplate, much less finish sucessfully.
I went for a run this morning. A painful, gasping, exhausting 3 mile run. It took me 38 minutes. If you consider that I can probably subtract 3-4 minutes for stoplights, that still means I have slowed down to an 11:30 mile. AAARGH!
Ok. Getting over it.
Day One...
140 lbs
38 minute run
42 minutes Elliptical
Note to self - kick my own ass!
I will exercise at least 2 more times this week

12 of 12 May
Learning a new camera - haven't quite got the knack yet...
I woke up at 4:30 pm after sleeping off a graveyard shift and mircacle of all miracles, went running for the first time this week! 5pm
apparently I haven't got the hang of the focus yet...
Followed up my run with some blogging on myspace, all the sweating makes me feel poetic. 6:45p
And managed to get the bad kitty to hold still long enough for a photo! 7:00p
PB & J snack and a sinkful of dirty dishes (they are still there too!) 
2 boxes of Kleenex in a week, and off to the store for more! This cold is kicking my butt...
My little loaner car. I call her Wonder Woman. old cars run better when you name them
Whole Foods - Kombucha - to cleanse the evil humors
2 magazine covers, can someone please explain the whole Rachel Ray thing to me?
Feeding my nail polish addiction at the drugstore "Chi-ca-go get a Manicure" my new favorite color
the view from my fire escape...you can see what remains of Griffith Park through the buildings
My big plans for the night - salad, hummus, throat coat tea , nail polish and "Night at the Museum"
My manicure! It is the little things that make me happy.
