3-day weekend

We didn't do anything exciting for the Memorial Day weekend but it was very nice to have the extra day to spend with Maggie, run errands and of course sleep. We watched a couple movies on Netflix (The Mechanic which was completely absurd, and Kick-Ass which was actually pretty good). I also watched a bunch of episodes of Grey's Anatomy - I think I'm somewhere at the end of season 2 now since I just started watching it this year. Marlon's not a fan though so I just watch it by myself, which is better than making him watch something he doesn't want to and being unable to listen to the dialogue over his commentary.

I also managed to not cook anything until today. We're having some chicken lentil curry for dinner (chicken, lentils, onion, garlic, carrots, curry, turmeric, and cumin) and Maggie's having lentil-brown rice-carrot slop for the week. She really likes it though :) Our fridge is completely full because I finally went to Costco and we also have a few months worth of toilet paper and paper towels. Whenever the toilet paper starts running low it makes me feel uneasy for some reason. It's as if we don't live less than a mile away from at least five different places we can buy toilet paper, half of which are open 24 hours.

So Maggie's been doing a lot of standing practice lately. She loves standing, particularly when she gets to do it in front of the mirror and scream at her own reflection. Actually these days she just babbles all day and every once in a while she'll emit a random scream. I have no idea why or what about but they seem to be just because she likes the sound of them.



Well I managed three runs this week and my ankle is probably about the same as it was a week ago. Okay maybe it's slightly worse because yesterday was 10 miles, probably not the brightest idea, but I wanted to see what would happen so I could decide if I should do the race this weekend. I think I would do it if I could come in within 5 minutes of my original goal and not have to take off more than a week afterwards. But I'm not really sure of either of those, so I'm having trouble deciding. I think I'll give it a few more days and see how it feels (as if anything miraculous or unexpected is going to happen in the next 3 days, but who knows).

This week's running:
Wed: 4 miles easy, no watch
Fri: 6 w/ 3 @ (6:55, 6:51, 7:06)
Sun: 10 @ 8:18
