First leg done! 4.7 miles. To come? 6.3 hilly miles @ about 2 am and 3.7 flat miles tomorrow afternoon. Verdict so far? This is HARD. Srsly.
| We're off now, van #2. Van #1 with six folks left at 8 am & are almost halfway through. I don't run until 130 so am just waiting. Nervous! |
|
| Wow. "Little cabin in the woods" turned out to be a gorgeous house on the water outside of La Conner. Sweet! Pre-race dinner begins soon. |
|
| Just got food on the way up to our home base cabin - spent less than $10 for pizza, 2 kinds of fruit, water, & bread. Wow. Huh. Go, WinCo! |
|
| P.S. I'll be posting twitters throughout the run, so if you want to see how I handle a 6.3 mile hilly run at approx. 2:30 a.m., stay tuned. |
|
| About to leave to prepare for this: http://tinyurl.com/5ju8vd Freaking out a little; hard to distinguish between nerves and excitement. |
|
| I love my team. DLF is at Noc Noc watching mommacherry and other pretty ladies dance on poles. They are bendy. And pretty. Go, momma, go! |
|
| Jen says I left out the most important part of the story: it was a random PIRATE eyepatch. Which totally worked; I wore it all the way home. |
|
| My contact ripped and I was getting dizzy using just one. Solution: random eye patch from a friend's bag, . Go figure! |

| Very entertaining crazy lady on bus today. Stream-of-consciousness rambling re: politics, Bush, the bus, & science projects. Wow. |
|
| The 13-year-old me would have just thrilled a little at receiving a Save the Polar Bears mass-mailed letter ... from Leonardo DiCaprio. Woo! |
|
| Happy day. Little red iPod accidentally drowned in juice has been safely resurrected. Whew. |
|
| Irony might be something like reading a book by a food critic over a lunch of $0.10 instant ramen noodles. Sodium-packed and delicious. |
|
| On the collar tag of the neighborhood kitty who just came out to greet me on my walk home: "I'm friendly, not lost." Aw. So cute! |
|
| Quick! Am babysitting and don't remember the words to "This Little Piggie". Went to market? Stayed home? What else? Would be awful parent. |
|
| Trying to remember a link I saw the other day -- a site to make instant collages of stuff you like on the internet and share 'em. Any ideas? |
|
| Continuing the bathroom reviews: Daniel's Broiler? Not as fancy as you'd think. U-Village has 'em beat. Father-daughter dinner: fantastic. |
|
| It finally feels like it might be summer for more than ten minutes at a time. Bring on the sunscreen. |
|
| Worst part about Twitter? Inability to retroactively correct typos. Boo hiss. I strive to be typo-free like @girlkate http://snurl.com/2k7or |
