Losing the Race
Remember the Race-to-100 I'm having with my mom? (We're competing to see who can run 100 miles in 2007 first.)
Today we checked in on each other and I've only run 45.8 while she's run 69.1 miles!! Yikes! I need to get running this week!! She bought a treadmill and so the excitment of a new machine is motivating her. All I have is the freezing Boston weather to unmotivate me!! I must catch up this week!!!
I've joined a basketball team--an all-women's recreational league this spring. We play every Monday night. We just had our first game last week and it was lots of fun. I'm probably the worst player on the team, but when I apologized for all the mistakes I made they all said, "No, no, no! You're doing great!"
In the entire half I made on only basket!! Ha, ha... I was so proud of it, too! A beautiful lay-up. ...I really suck at basketball.
When I asked for a true evaluation after the game the captain said that I look like I know what I'm doing, I'm just a little rusty. That's funny because I don't feel like I know what I'm doing, but I must be faking it well! =) Anyway, I love having a new activity and a group of people to spend some time with.
This weekend I helped DT move out of his apartment and into storage. It wasn't particularly hard because there were five of us working, but I'm so tired from the long weekend. Daniel took us all out to a meal at Redbones restaurant as a thanks for helping him move. We ate good comfort food: ribs, pulled pork, barbeque chicken with beans, greens, mac and cheese, and cornbread. It was delicious, but I'm now in a food coma and needing sleep. Good night all!
