CRAP AND DOUBLE CRAP!
So, searching around my room to pack for Homecoming this weekend, I am surprised to find that I have very little winter clothing here in Baltimore. Apparently I didn't bring enough back on my trips home...did I think I was going home again soon?? I don't have my long-sleeve running shirts, my hat, my headbands, my gloves... I need to do some major shopping. It's getting cold. The hat I can do without, but the others are vital for running. I'm trying not to panic too much...

Oh Pikes Peak...
A fun quote from the Pikes Peak Marathon website:
"There’s a reason trees don’t bother growing above 12,000' on Pikes Peak. They can’t! Makes one wonder if trees are smarter than runners."

Mawwage / Running
Went up to Lewisburg for my friends' wedding this weekend. It was tons of fun and really nice :) A big congrats to them both and well wishes galore! I think I got myself a little sick walking back from the pool barefoot though =/
I've been pretty happy with my running lately. I've been ahead of my planned paces and haven't been pushing extremely hard to get there. I'm confident I could pretty easily break 1:40 for a Half Marathon and 3:30 for a full, right now. Assuming they're not crazy hilly or anything, of course. BQ is looking more and more do-able. I hope this continues! :)

Thoughts
Here are a few thoughts and oddities from this weekend...
- As I said in the last entry, I finally saw Dark Knight :)
- Before the movie I learned some things about pool (billiards), and had my first margarita. It was a fresh fruit mango margarita, so it was rather good!
- On my run Saturday morning, as two passing bikers rode by I heard "It ended up, the squirrel had taken the bronze medal." I was about 14 miles into the run and now realize that maybe he said "this girl" and not "squirrel" ... But it was funny to hear and got me thinking that it would be interesting to do that and say random things and somehow see the other people's reactions... My run was awesome, as I did 18 at an 8:05 pace. Boston (BQ) is looking a little more do-able now!
- Saturday at the grocery store a mother was telling her daughter to pick out a cereal, but one without a lot of sugar. The child proceeded to choose Coco Crisp...
- I took a walk over to the nearby Route 1 Flea Market this afternoon. It's basically a Hispanic version of Gibraltar Trade Center. It's also a little smaller and a lot more useless stuff. At least I some of the stuff at Gibraltar is interesting. Though I did see a fedora I think...
- Kalev chocolate (from Estonia) is good stuff. Though since it's from Estonia, it was $4.

Seriously?
I thought it was just the football players...
Wisconsin's Band Suspended
In other news, I finally got to see Dark Knight! It was quite good. And Heath Ledger was as good as hyped. Why does Batman talk like that? Is his mask too tight, or is it simply to conceal his identity?

Weekend in MD
Wow. Sadly, I'm in MD for the weekend. I say sadly because I like seeing my friends. I need to somehow make some here...
I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with myself. I got up at 1 today, and I'm going to do some shopping. Saturday morning I'll do my 18-miler and hopefully get back in time to see all of the MSU-Iowa game. Go Green! And then church on Sunday. Exciting weekend, eh?
Happy National Pizza Month!
