Pop quiz time!

health and fitness, travel / 27 Comments

You’re at Laguardia Airport. You spent the car ride over here with the windows rolled down completely in an attempt to stop sweating, while you alternated between feeling you were going to vomit and feeling you were going to pass out. All this while trying to sound on a conference call like you are fine and not sick and a good sport. You make it through security without incident, and are now at the food court. You want to find something that will fill you up, provide nutrition as it is your only dinner, and soothe your stomach. Nowhere is …

Just call me carrot girl

Back from the doctor’s, and hurray! I am neither pregnant nor dying. My bloodwork was almost all back – there were a few things that weren’t quite ready, but she said they were extremely rare and she doubted they would come back positive, but she’d call me if they did. Anyway, I’m negative for just about everything, with the exception of some silly stuff. For example, mono came up, but there are a few different levels they test, and the old level came up showing that I had mono when I was younger, but the current level shows I’m fine …

Ready for the list of maladies? Here it comes. Sunday I started getting a sore throat, and then I didn’t get that much sleep Sunday night, so yesterday I woke up with it much worse.

Shoutout to my amazing friend Becca, who just sent me the following adorable e-card from someecards.com: Hurray for no heart attacks! With my luck with my health lately, that’s definitely an accomplishment – today’s malady is a sore throat that makes it really hard to swallow. But I get to go to the doctor in less than 48 hours!!!! Can’t wait.

Thanksgiving Marathon Eve

goal setting, health and fitness, running, travel / 25 Comments

Last night I tried a new strategy to get enough sleep before my race. I went to bed at 8 PM, planning to sleep until 10 or so when Boyfriend would come over to hang out. I figured we’d get to bed around 1, which would means I’d still get my 8 hours of sleep. Instead, he got stuck at work and didn’t get to my place until after midnight. We still went to bed around 1, so I ended up getting 11 hours of sleep! I hoped that would make me feel a bit better. However, I still woke …
