New Year's Eve we went to a party at my friend Corey's house. Corey happens to be the guitar player and main songwriter in my band, and when she introduced me to someone as "her bass player" it came out...

Someone decided this blog was so superawesome that it deserved a mention, so now - especially after a month of saying nothing at all - the pressure is on and I feel compelled to write something. Anything. So here goes....

One New Year's Eve between 2001 and 2006, my husband and I stayed away from both bar and party and instead cooked and ate dinner with our best friend who is now dead. We watched some movie on TV, talked...

In lieu of a real blog entry, I thought I'd post this thing, which is a meme from another blog I read occasionally. The point is to let the world know what things on the list you have done. I...

training, that is. The novelty has definitely worn off, the honeymoon is over, and I'm in that phase where I'm horribly slow, I've developed a minor, annoying, secondary injury on the uninjured side, and did I mention I'm slow? I'm...

1. This week I may crack 30 miles. My leg still gets sore occasionally, but then it goes away. I can cross my "bad" ankle over my good knee without wincing or feeling much of anything; after almost 4 months,...

running down my list of feeds in Sage Too it looks like every single blog I follow has a new entry entitled "Happy Thanksgiving!" It reminds me of those PSA station-id things on TV, Season's Best From All Your Friends...

Week 4 of the Pfitzinger plan leaves gallowalking behind, so I guess this counts as "running," so I guess this means I can post a weekly without too much embarrassment. M: 1hr elliptical (~7.2mi), lower-body weights T: AM 25min running...

If we can put a man on the moon, surely we can come up with a random function that is truly random. Maybe it's my bad luck, but I have yet to use a digital-music player that shuffles properly. I...

Some time ago, maybe a year, maybe a bit more, there was this great blog, Body and Blood, by a seminarian and runner named Stephen Mirarchi. It has since vanished without a trace. How I miss that blog....

A friend told me about a neat thing (that everyone in the whole world may know about already) called blip which is a website where you can "be a DJ with your own radio show." I've never aspired to be...

Yesterday I started the return-to-running plan, but it was not the pain-free gallop I hoped for, so I am rethinking things. What doesn't hurt at all: elliptical trainer, stairmaster, walking around in the walking boot, running to the kitchen to...

Thursday: spin class in the morning, long-ass day at work, pass out on the couch before 9pm, inbed for real by 11, sleep 8 hours, wow. Friday: frustrating 50min mtb around the neighborhood in the morning. Stopped 3x to adjust...

Tuesday AM: walk 30min. PM, after work: 1hr "tempo" ride at the gym, 30min ET. No pain, even at work. Wednesday AM: walk 40min. Fine for 20min, then, wait, what's this? Weird feeling in my leg. Pain? Well, maybe. Feels...

AM: 75min cycle at the Y. 10min warmup, then 4min hard/1min easy, 5min hard/1min easy until I hit 1:10, then 5min cooldown. Today "hard" meant hr>140, but still around 90 rpm. I'd planned a half-hour on the elliptical after the...

Two beers and two fingers of bourbon last night, and today I have a hangover I hardly deserve. On the bright side, my leg doesn't hurt at all. The last thing I wanted to do this noon was go spinning...

It's definitely getting better. I got through long Thursday with no major mishaps, though by the end of the day (7pm) I was right tired, probably from not being able to move around the way I'm used to. My plans...

Monday my leg hurt intermittently all day despite the fact that I did nothing but sit on my ever-expanding butt the whole day. Monday evening the pain got so annoying I was on the verge of taking some (gasp) advil,...
