I was trying to think of a San Francisco song lyric to put here but all I can think of is the Rice a Roni song

running, travel / 11 Comments

Off to San Francisco for the weekend! I’m staying with my old high school friend Mike and we’re doing the Bay to Breakers 12K on Sunday, which should be a lot of fun. Chris says there are lots of hills in San Francisco, and has been training on hills a lot for the race. Me? Well, Central Park has a few small hills, but I’ve been doing most of my running on the West Side Highway now which is flat, flat, flat. It might be a bit of a rude awakening, but I hear that the Vermont City Marathon gets …

Not the usual Monday morning

As we were waiting in line for takeoff, a woman on my flight had a stroke. We headed back to the gate and emergency people came on board to take her away. So scary! I really hope she is okay… The guy a few seats in front of me is bitching about being delayed, because our flight was supposed to land at 8:30 and is now not taking off until then or maybe later. What an asshole.

Their full menu is here, which is where I’m looking for substitutions for the four courses. My current thoughts: 1st course: salad with dressing on the side 2nd course: oysters, scallops, or cassoulet. I think those are in approximate order of healthiest to least healthy, but they’re also in approximate order of how much I’d enjoy them. The question is – how much healthier are the oysters than the …

Two half-marathons in two days – interim report

running, travel / 2 Comments

I’m on the flight to Providence. I’m sitting in an exit row, and the flight attendant asked me how old I am, because you have to be 15 to sit here, and she didn’t think I was. God, I look so embarrassingly young. Brooklyn went… well, it didn’t really go well, but I finished. And I got a PR. I’m going to type a report during the flight and post it once I get to my hotel. Quick teaser: I used a running pickup line and actually attracted a really cute guy. Right now I want to go to bed …
