It's Friday...Woo Hoo!

This has been one loooong week. It all started on Monday morning, when I woke up feeling like crap because I caught the evil cold that has been going around. It seems like everyone has it - my coworkers, people at the gym, people on the subway. Then it was just project after project, assignment after assignment at work. And oh yeah. Remember how I said I was going to go to the gym on Tuesday and walk on the treadmill because I said it was better than nothing? Well...err...that didn't happen. I actually only ran once this week - last night, and it felt so good, even though I had to run on the boring treadmill because it was just too cold outside.

But it is finally Friday! Woo hoo!


I can finally sleep. And let me tell you - I need sleep. It took everything I had no to fall asleep at work today. I was so tired that it physically hurt.

I don't know how much running or exercising I will get done this weekend. There is so much I need to do - food shopping, Thanksgiving food shopping, errands, work that I brought home that needs to be done, etc., etc., etc. Plus, I am finally getting a new stove on Sunday, which will mean that I will have to wait around for the delivery guys to come. But it is well worth it because I have been dying for a new stove lately. My oven and broiler have been broken (and unfixable) for ages, and I have been just dying to bake all kinds of delicious things. Like maybe some green tea cupcakes like these?



I am also pretty excited, because I just picked up Dean Karnazes' 50/50 book at the library. I keep sneaking little peaks at what's inside. But before I can read it, I. must. read. Catch-22. first. for my book club. But Catch-22 looks awfully long. What if I read Catch-22 on the subway, and 50/50 before I go to bed at night? Yes, yes, that just may work.

Have a good weekend!

Hi Marie, thanks for dropping by. Yeah, it was a crowded race...perhaps that's why I PR'd...I am somewhat claustrophobic and wanted to get out of the crowd as quickly as possible. How are your race? Hope you had a good one.

I'm just glad it was last weekend, and not this one because it is so freezing out.

Oh I hate having multiple book reading commitments! I was trying to juggle 2 books last month, too. The sad thing is, I didn't get to finish either one of them!

Hope you got some well deserved rest and sleep this weekend!!! :-)
