Watches and Weather

Boston weather is MOST confusing. Take for instance now. It's 51, so it's not freezing but not exactly t-shirt weather. It's overcast, but at the same time it's bright. Humidity is 84% but it doesn't look even mildly wet out. And I'm sure in about 20 minutes it'll either be a gorgeous, sunny day or all hell will break loose and it'll be freezing and torrential downpouring.
And this week it's supposed to be sunny and 50-something, but last year at this time it was snow storming. This weekend at Chris' I ran in shorts and a t-shirt, and wished I wore a tank top. It felt like summer - in mid November!
The GOOD news is, for the marathon it's supposed to be sunny and 50 again - perfect! The bad news is, that means at 6 am when I get there I'm going to be balls freezing but half way through I'm going to be dying of heat. What a predicament. Maybe I'll just buy cheap long sleeve shirts and shed them as I run.

In other news, more than anything I want a Garmin watch to run with in the marathon so I can track my pace (which I've been doing with Chris' watch) but the problem is Chris is going to use his watch for the race, meaning I'm back to my old stop watch. I should have never spoiled myself with that thing. It's addictive. I love it. But Garmin GPS watches are a luxury of the rich Boston runners and Pro athletes who get them free from sponsors, and not poor college kids. Oh the quirks of being 21.

PS. Sine I started and finished this entry, the sky has gotten notably darker and the wind picked up.

Weekend

As promised, here's a blog about my weekend - I know you've been sitting on the edge of your rolly computer chair waiting for it with bated breath. Friday after my guitar class, which went not-so-fabulously, as per usual, Chris and I had a little adventure to Harpoon Brewery where we met up with my ever beloved (and apparently much talked about) bff Dave. It took us a little adventuring and a little guessing to get there but we made it there and home with lots of "I have a hunch this is the way to go"-ing. It convinced me fully that we'd be great on a European back-packing trip together. We don't fight, we don't argue, we don't get frustrated, we just laugh and follow our gut. Which led us to beer! Isn't that what Germany is all about?  Anyway, Harpoon was awesome. You just go, hear about beer, and drink all you want. I picked up a growler of the cider - highly recommended. We literally guessed what bus to get on to get home and turns out it led...

Stop Shoulding all over yourself

Yesterday I went on Cor Jesu's Vivare "young alumni" retreat. My friend from high school Katie posted it on my wall a few weeks ago and tagged a couple other CJ sisters to the post and it struck my interest. I haven't done a single thing with CJ since I graduated and somewhere between moving to Boston and joining the triathlon team my Catholic past was put on the backburner. I figured I had nothing to lose except a Saturday and at the very least I'd get to hang out with my friends so I signed up and sent in my $25 without much thought.  I've never been the most devout Catholic. Most times in church I'm scanning the crowd for familiar faces, zoning out, and making Target lists- and that's if I go at all. Sunday is usually run-day...or ski day. Or sleep in day. Or study day. Or vacuum day. Whatever day it is...it's rarely church day. Despite being raised by two Catholic parents, going to a Catholic grade school and a Catholic high school, going o...

Plan 2

So Chris isn't entering active duty until 2013. Therefore, in order to get a job, he now needs a resume.  This is a little something Chris, the team and I have been working on. With all these skills, Chris and I are going to be millionaires by 30. A Brewmaster's Resume
