In Helsinki

health and fitness, travel / 17 Comments

My brother, my Dad, and I have made it to Helsinki safely – my other brother was coming from Charleston and will meet us at the Warsaw airport. Our flight was good – a bit delayed for de-icing, but we had a long layover in Helsinki anyway so we still have plenty of time. I slept the whole way (thank you, lorizapam), so I’m fresh as a daisy feeling like it’s 9 AM (which it is, Helsinki time)… while Dad and my brother stayed up and are feeling like it’s 3 AM. Not my fault! I did wake up for …

A minor emergency and then a major one

Feeling a bit better now… still sick but nowhere near as bad as yesterday. After I posted, I decided that I would brave getting up to throw clothes on and hit up the grocery on the ground floor of my building, where I could get chicken soup, ginger ale, and popsicles. I got the chills a little bit when I was in the elevator, but figured it would take less than 5 minutes and I’d be okay. Yeah, I thought wrong.

Aaron left a hilarious comment that reminded me I’d forgotten to post afterward. “OK, creepy, I know, but I needed to see how she did, so I worked my way through the results until I found a Laura from New York… 🙂 Time (4:48:39)(if that’s you) looks good to me with all the travel and drinking. Hope you’re happy with it!!” I was about to write a response back to him, but figured I’d post it publicly and thereby gain another day or two of procrastination on my race report. First response to his comment: HAHAHA! I’ve totally searched results …

And now there are two of them

running, travel / 9 Comments

I’ve already told you all how my roommate is running the Honolulu Marathon with very little training (she’s done one thirteen mile run and one eighteen mile run, but otherwise never over 6 miles). She swears she will run/walk and stop if she gets hurt, but I’m still worried. This morning, Boyfriend and my roommate and I went to the expo to do packet pickup, and Boyfriend got into the spirit of the marathon. Not the movie – I mean he really got into the marathon spirit. He wants to do the last-minute signup today and run it. He does …

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 …
