V-Day weekend

Now closing a great weekend - bummed. Mondays are my least favorite days in the world! Actually not really...I only have one class and I get to train before it. So scratch that. I really don't have any days I don't love. All my classes are evenly spread out so I really don't have any terrible days - except Wednesdays when I have to work. Which really isn't that bad because I like work, or at least the people at work. It's nice when you really don't have anything to dread throughout the week - everyone should have weeks like this. I think there'd be a lot less anxiety in the world. And jerks.

It started off with getting my bike fit Friday, which made my life. I should have done this MONTHS ago. The ridiculous thing is I knew I was going to get it eventually, I just never made time to actually do it. And the funniest part is the main reason I didn't do it is I kept forgetting to put Int'l Bike's number in my phone. If I would have had the number in my phone to begin with this all would have been settled and I wouldn't have been killing myself on a bike that didn't fit me right for 6 months. The thing to take away from this is don't put off for tomorrow what you could do today - did I just make that up? haha. No but seriously...just do it.
After that I met up with Chris and we went grocery shopping. To anyone else this is a chore and an errand and it sucks because you have to walk all the way there, carry stuff around for an hour, and walk all the way home. But it's me and Chris...so it was awesome. Everything is awesome with us - obviously.
Then we made a pizza and ate the entire thing. To be regretted later at swim.
So then on Friday I worked out and went to swimming - which was awesome. There were only 6 of us there but we had a blast doing tri-specific swim stuff. Which basically means we get to beat each other up in the pool to simulate what it's like to be in a swim start in a triathlon. Oh and the whole time I wanted to barf up pizza.
Then after that we all went to Max's and had a couple beers and hung out, which was my favorite part. I've never met a group of people I love more than the tri team.
Saturday I woke up, froze my ass off running outside, worked 6 hours, and fell asleep after. Then came my Valentine's day surprise! It was simple, but thoughtful. Nothing extravagant but it was perfect.
We went to the BU track meet, got coffee, took the T to frog pond and ice skated and then Chris took me to the restaurant we had our first date at, Assagio. And then we got Mike's, obviously. It was the best date I've ever been on. The best part? It was all a surprise! I love when Chris surprises me, he gets me so excited. And we're both really good skaters so we showed everyone up...well not really. But we had a blast.
Today I got called out of work so thank God for that. Sooo I spent all day at my desk studying then I ran on the treadmill, lifted, and now more studying.

Overall? I'd give this weekend an A.

love love love

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...

A Near Miss

I may have spoken too soon when I said that Kirkwood library was my spot. Here I am comfortably doing my speech-pathology work when out of nowhere: We took the square route of this and put it here and here and put it there and there.  My ears tuned in and I raised my head. I sniffed the air and suspiciously scanned the area. Yep. Math. Immediately I broke out in a sweat. Hands started shaking. Eyes twitched. Jaw clenched and neck twisted. Vomit literally came up my esophagus. Pavlov conditioning in it's purest form.  So this times this gives you this and this times this gives you that.  Focus, Katie. Hmm....a 2 year old with hearing loss who is struggling with some final consonant deletion, some stopping of fricatives, some devoicing? Now that, I am good at.... Now do you see inside your parenthesis that there is a difference of squares? No I don't see, lady. That past is long behind me and I'm never going back.  Right now I'm transcribing, identifying ...

First mountain bike ride = SUCCESS! Rex and I rode 18 miles this morning. We did the Logan river trail for about 14 then we rode around town stopping into some bike shops looking at pedals and mountain biking shoes. It'll be a few weeks before I actually buy a pair but I want to get an idea of what's out there - just like road cycling, clipless pedals change everything. With regular pedals, the rider can only get movement forward by pushing down. With clipless pedals, the rider's foot is attached to the bike so you can push down and pull up, which makes climbing and accelerating completely different. I absolutely love my pedals on Mr. Mac so Rex should have a pair, too. The ride was awesome though. The thing I like about mountain biking is that it's a nice blend between trail running and road cycling. You get to the distance of cycling but you get to be close with nature like you do running. It's absolutely perfect. I even had my very first crash today! I w...
