My next crazy adventure

running, travel / 12 Comments

So, forget the heat training and forget Vegas. I have new plans for the weekend of June 28, and they involve pirates, cross-country travel, and my second marathon! That’s right, the Seafair Marathon is my newest crazy challenge idea. It’s also one of my last opportunities to do a marathon before September, as there are very few marathons (except Running With the Devil) in the summer due to the heat. Seattle shouldn’t be too hot, and it sounds really pretty as well. And I’ve never been there and I’ve always wanted to go! My friend Nick (of The Desk Orphan) …

Honey, I’m home!

The maid was still doing turndown in my room when I got back to my hotel a few minutes ago. Is it pathetic that I was excited to have someone to come “home” to?

Race Report: Bay to Breakers

health and fitness, running, travel / 12 Comments

Chris said it best when he stated “I could not really call this a race report since B2B is more about the event and less about the actual run.” Also, I probably can’t really call this a race report since I didn’t register, I didn’t once run, I didn’t get a time, and I didn’t cross the finish line. But ignoring those minor technicalities, we’ll forge onward. The night before the race, we decided to cop out and pick up sheets at Mervyn’s (which is like the California version of Sears) and make togas as costumes. Yeah, we’re pretty lame. …

I don’t know that song, but I think it’s meant to imply that San Francisco is an amazing city and that your heart gets broken by leaving. Totally not the case for me, but I did meet a great guy there that I’m sad to leave. Why is it that I only meet guys who live in cities that are several hour flights from wherever I am? London, San Francisco… now all I have to do is alt-travel to Thailand or something and I’m sure to meet the love of my life. Wow, what a day. I’m currently at SFO …

Friday in San Mateo

diet, travel / 2 Comments

Cali is fun, though not the uberhealthy place I imagined. I suppose that’s mostly my and my friends’ fault for the places we chose to ate, but yesterday morning we went to the local greasy spoon for breakfast. I ordered an egg white, turkey, spinach, and mushroom omelette, and swapped the toast for an English muffin… but the English muffin came out pre-buttered (I ate it anyway… bad Laura), the omelette was HUGE (though I’m proud to say I only ate half – I’m getting better about leaving food on my plate!), and it came with a mountainous pile of …
