saturday was a major accomplishment...right around 10 miles! i hit the runner's high, so that was fun. here was our route this week: it actually felt really good after about mile 5. i just had to look sort of down in front of myself (so i'm not looking at how much further i have to go) and tune into my music. we ran from our house down along the water, across the golden gate bridge, back across, then back to the marina green.
that night, brandon and i decided to heed jessi's advice and move around later in the day, so saturday night we decided to go on a little walk. we went down to union square, got some ice cream and went into the westfield to eat.
friday night, my friend katie came into town and brought a college favorite, woodstocks pizza (there is one on her way from sacramento). it was a fun mini-reunion of cal poly people on a random friday night. gotta love the cinnabread chris and brandon, giggling about something...up to no good always it was a glorious evening!
thanks to moderncat for adding adelie and the orca to the list of favorite etsy shops! there are some other really great shops listed there--be sure to check some out!
so i had found this a while ago via this american life, and then recently remember this group and their work. i find what they do clever, hilarious, well-executed, and with great intentions:
"Improv Everywhere is, at its core, about having fun. We’re big believers in “organized fun”. Our missions are a fun source of entertainment for the participants, those who happen to see us live, and those who read this website....We’re out to prove that a prank doesn’t have to involve humiliation or embarrassment; it can simply be about making someone laugh, smile, or stop to notice the world around them."
their missions and videos are hilarious...i'd love to participate one day! here's one to get you started:
i also recommend to get you started: no pants!best buy, and human mirror. really, they're all pretty good. i hope you enjoy as much as i do!
well, this one is pretty self-explanitory from the pictures...i like to call this one: chair, or scratching post? you decide...(obviously the cats have put in their vote already) the good news? this is a chair that brandon found on the street when he lived in san francisco during his 4th year of college, which means it is old and was free. the bad news? brandon loves this chair.
today ben was messing around in the window, so i decided to snap a shot. this one was actually an accident, but it came out rather well, in my opinion...
today was my first long run of half-marathon training. well, actually my first long run EVER, but also the first long run of training. brandon went to a baseball game, so chris was kind enough to be my running buddy. he was a great motivator--most of my run was spent thinking "just...follow...chris...keep...following...chris..." i was pretty proud of myself, seeing as i've only started training in the last two weeks.
anyway, today i accomplished a 7.1 mile jog. it was slow, but i made it. yippee!
