My Absence

So it is has been a week since my last post, and that is unacceptable. However, my excuses for this week include a friend being in town, ran a lot, school, work, and computer trouble. I know... i am an engineer and I think I have more trouble with electronics than an 8 year old, but it has just been a bad streak for me. my stupid internet connection on my normal pc is on the fritz... it is all over the road... like changing from 11mpbs to 1 mpbs to 5.5 to 2... it is just weird. for a day or two I was totally off the internet... not sure what I did to fix it... but it has been fixed... sort of.

With my run of 11.75 miles this morning, I think I broke the 35 mile mark for the first time in my life which was pretty exciting. I think I will be in pretty good shape for running broad street next sunday. I will just finish up the week a little easier than normal and I should be good. My friend brian was in town this week so I was able to run with him twice and once with the guys from work... so all in all I only ran by myself twice out of 6 times... which would normally be like 5 out of 6 times. so that was good. it makes putting the mileage in easier when someone else is suffering with you!!

I think I just ate 4 servings of tortellini. it was an impressive feat. i went shopping around 5 oclock and realized once I pulled out of the driveway that I was really hungry... but I didn't get home to eat something until 6:30... poor me. so i gorged myself on tortellini. carbo loading? hmm... not so sure. I am pretty proud of myself today cuz I did tons of cleaning and tons of laundry. the stuff piled up this week so it was nice to have a day to myself to just get caught up with everything. don't get me wrong, I love being around people, but it is always nice to retreat from the hustle and bustle of life for a day and just focus on me... more specifically my clothes and filthy house.
