sorry for the lack of info lately

I don't know what's been up, but I just haven't felt it recently. I've still been updating my 'logging' blogs, but somehow just didn't have much to write here.

Today was really one of those days that just works, so I thought it was worth mentioning.

In the afternoon, I played in a masterclass with Lorenzo. It was great to perform. I always forget how much I really enjoy playing, and especially playing for others. The guy giving the critique at the masterclass wasn't that amazing, but I didn't care...it was just great to be on a stage again. I hope I have some more chances to play sometime soon.

Tonight, we went to Garfield Reservation to run, and I had an awesome time. I felt fast and strong, which is kind of new. Breaking 9 minute miles wasn't even a question...Kurt said I had to move my 'winning' time to 8 minute miles in order to get a prize, but I think I'll just step down to 8:30...it should be a time right at your threshold, right? If it's too unattainable, it would be depressing. It has to be a time that you feel good breaking, but isn't TOO hard. :)

Bloody toes today...which just means that I have to cut my toenails, but still made me feel hard core just the same (and then slightly ridiculous, I'll admit).

Afterwards, we went to Hoggy's (of course!), and I enjoyed my usual Macaroni and Cheese. I look forward to this all week...I wouldn't be able to get through the run otherwise! Phil surprised me by coming out to meet us at Hoggy's, which was really nice.

Kurt and Bryce are talking about doing the Ironman in Nice...I'm jealous; wish I could be strong enough by June 25, but I know it just really isn't feasible. Only 2 months after Wildflower, and I can't even finish a marathon, eh? arghhhh!

Fundraising is starting to get moving. Ta and I decorated boxes of candy and are dropping them off at local businesses. While I was standing there talking to Brenda at CIM, at least 6 bars were sold! yeah! Let's hope the other places we put them are just as lucrative (and the bars don't get stolen!).

Only downside of today is that Baruch has something wrong with her foot again. She's been hobbling around on 3 legs. She's probably being a bit overly-dramatic, but she's definitely hurting just the same. The vet just gave us some antibiotic in hopes that'll work. If not, we're in for a pricey diagnosis. I don't know what I would do if there was something seriously wrong with her; think good thoughts!
