(Not So) Daily Dose of Dawn(Not So) Daily Dose of Dawn - LiveJournal.comI'm still here- October 27, 2005 Just popping in to say I am still alive! T minus 11 days until the NY marathon and the in-laws arrive tomorrow for their two week stay. I'll go to work tomorrow and we'll pick them up late at night. Then I am working from home on Friday and of next Mon, Tue, Wed. So I'll get to spend a lot of time with them. Should be interesting to see how H & H (T's half-siblings, age 7 and 9) react to their first plane ride and jetlag. It will be a full house here and we'll be busy. I think we are headed out.http://dbrus.livejournal.com/509634.html I just ran 20 miles :)- October 23, 2005 Just in from a 20-miler. My last long run before NY Marathon in two weeks. The new shoes are awesome!!!Yesterday I cleaned the whole house except for the living room and the den, so I am pretty tired between that and the running!Off to eat, take a bath and veg before doing some more stuff to prepare for our guests arriving on Thursday!http://dbrus.livejournal.com/509238.html New shoes!- October 22, 2005 I went and got analyzed and fitted for new shoes today! I ended up with these beauties:Asics Gel Kayano XI. I think they will be great, much better shoes than all of the pairs I have owned since I started running. These should take me through at least the NY and Disney Marathons, maybe longer. Will break them in tomorrow before a 20 miler on Sunday. Then it is all about the rest until the big day, with a few runs here and there but no more long runs.http://dbrus.livejournal.com/508974.html Fun commute this AM- October 21, 2005 Today was a fun day to be navigating the NYC subway system.DETAILS HEREhttp://dbrus.livejournal.com/508723.html Busy, but time to show you a cute pic.- October 20, 2005 The trip to Sweden was wonderful despite the travel problems. And we never even got jetlag! I am super busy lately, I have very overdue articles to write and a lot of miles to run, etc. And our new TV arrived. More visitors from Sweden arrive next week, so we are trying to get things straightened around here too. I don't anticipate updating muc hin hte next few weeks. But, I thought I would share this one pic from the Sweden trip. Funny, we went for Martina's birthday, but almost all of the...http://dbrus.livejournal.com/508519.html Flying woes!- October 17, 2005 The visit has been great! Lots of good food and visiting with family. I am glad we did this even if it was crazy. It was really worth it to be at Martina's party. The jetlag has not even had a chance to affect me yet, we'll see how I feel tomorrow at work.However, the travel part has not been the best.We are supposed to be on a plane somewhere over the Atlantic right now, but out plane is delayed 9 HOURS! Yes, you read that right! We are prisoners at Arlanda airport with only food vouchers and..http://dbrus.livejournal.com/508219.html Cuteness overload!- October 10, 2005 A whirlwind trip to Chicago this weekend, we met Maddie, became her Godparents, and had a blast with the rest of the family. Ellie is such a darling little thing, I wanted to take her home. She really enjoyed saying Toe-BEE to T. Very cute. Anyway, I must share:Proud GodparentsEllie and her GrandpaSeveral more HERE.http://dbrus.livejournal.com/507822.html Running and journal blahs- October 2, 2005 Just in from a 1.7 mile "Norway Run" in Central Park. Yesterday I ran 18 miles so it was quite short for me! We are going to clean up and head back up to Midtown for some shopping, and then possibly buy the TV we've had our eyes on for a while!! Sorry for the lack of updates, I am actually seriously considering retiring this journal at its four year mark (November). I will still be around for commenting and reading others, but I really don't feel like I have much to contribute any more. It has..http://dbrus.livejournal.com/507382.html |
