It’s already Tuesday and no Weekend Recap. Sorry for the lateness but I’m trying not to write it at work, though I am right now :0(

Feels like all I do now is run, eat and drink and not necessarily in that order, and eating gets left out most, and drinking is usually alcohol, not water or Gatorade, maybe some Diet Coke.

I just finished up week 3 of 16 for marathon training and though I thought I was building miles slowly I’m already up to 31 miles last week and that was a step down week. I’m already feeling exhausted!

Thursday night had track and did a good 1000s workout. Met at The Asgard after for some food, half a turkey burger and some mashed potatoes, 2 beers, and 2 Diet Cokes. Had my last sleepover w/ db, he went away for awhile.

Friday night was originally meeting Tara at Venu but I got there way before her, she was running late and having trouble getting a cab there. I met this guy on the street w/ a handful of change. He wanted 2 dollars for his change but I didn’t want his change so I was just going to give him $2 but I only had $1 so I gave it to him and said I didn’t want his change. Then a policeman came up to us and asked what was going on and I said it was fine and explained the deal but then another one showed up and they were all suspicious. They wanted to see what was in the guy’s hand and he opened it to show a shitload of change. They let me go away but wanted the guy to go w/ them. I then walked over to Remington’s for a beer to wait for Tara. Ended up sitting between a woman and a man that were playing Keno and scratch tickets. The guy ended up talking to me, telling me his life story basically. He would scratch his tickets and ask me if they were winners. The first ticket he showed me he won $5. Then he had another winner and waited until the end to scratch off the amount he won. He made me do it so I scratched it off to find $40. He thought I was lucky. Finally Tara made it and he gave up his seat for her. We changed our plan to Gypsy Bar, it was right next door, and we even got Joslynn to bail what she was doing to come. This place was way too crowded. Ran into a co-worker when Tara asked her where the coat check was. She came up to me later in the coat check line to say another girl that used to work w/ us that is now in vet school was there but I never ran into them again. Got drinks somehow, it was hard to get to the bar. Tried to dance on the dancefloor but it was ridiculous. Ended up finding space off the dancefloor where there was a seating area. It was like our own dancefloor so it worked out fine. Music was pretty good and we danced awhile. Joslynn ended up leaving w/out telling us, until she was home. Left just before closing I think and walked home alone. Kinda scary but I made it okay.

Didn’t sleep well. Keeps happening lately. Basically got up and chilled for a bit before Tara and I met to go running. We ended up doing 8 miles to get it out of the way so we didn’t have to do it on Sunday. We went to S&S for brunch afterwards. I haven’t been there in so long, it was very yummy!! Made it home just in time to do some laundry. I wanted a nap so bad but had to meet co-worker Steve at 8 at MIT so I was running out of time. I think I was on time meeting him but he was late so I got to talk to Jen in Maine for a little bit, which reminds me I’m supposed to ask the roomies if she can stay over in a few weeks. Steve finally came and we walked over to the Middle East. I had dinner while he sat there having beer, I had beer too, he wasn’t feeling great so didn’t want to eat. We were there until just after 10 and then walked over to the Middle East downstairs to see other co-worker Nate’s band Scamper, their last show. While we were standing outside so Steve could smoke, we heard the show was sold-out but when we went in to check it wasn’t. We got there just in time to see Nate and his band on stage singing w/ one of the openers. They were almost done, then another band, then Scamper. Lots of my co-workers were there but it was a weird vibe for me. I’m good w/ some of them one-on-one but some of them I never talk to and they hang out a lot so I felt out of place. They started doing shots, I thought I wasn’t gonna drink much, but I had a couple shots along w/ my beers. Eventually Joslynn texted she was going over near Park St. to a bar w/ Val so I wanted to ditch. Scamper went into their encore and I found Steve outside smoking to tell him I was bailing. I invited him to be nice, I think he thought I was being kinda rude, he decided not to come and I luckily caught the very last train to Park and made it to the bar just before 1am. Got a vodka drink and hung out until closing. Nothing crazy but a much better vibe than where I was. Again walked home alone and again had another shitty night of sleep. Much shittier than Friday night which really sucks.

Sunday I had to run again and make it to a SuperBowl party. Got to talk to my brother for a little bit. Don’t talk that often. I think because I never get to see them and when I talk to them I get depressed about not seeing them and missing out on my niece and nephew growing up so I end up calling less. Got to talk to Ella. She said she was coming over and we’d do surgery. Not sure how old she has to be before she can take the plane here. She’s not even 3 yet so I think that’s too young, huh? Tara called to go running and we got in our 6 miles. Made it over to a very packed Trader Joe’s for some snacks and beer to take to the SuperBowl party. Once I got back from Trader Joe’s I basically had time to shower and it was time to go. I was so tired and had a big day on Monday. I had to give my seminar, CPC and journal club and I wasn’t feeling prepared. I almost brought my work w/ me to the party but at the last second decided against it. Made it to the party for some food, yummy nachos, first meal of the day. Watched the game. Was bored w/ the game and tired. Good company though. Finally the game got good in the 4th quarter. I was quietly rooting for the Giants in a room of Pats fans but I had no faith that they would win, especially after the Pats scored. Once the game was over we got out of there real fast. No one was happy and I was tired and had lots of work to do. Made it home and tried to do work but was too tired.

Monday is now over so that’s good. I survived all the stuff I had to do so I got to have fun all weekend and still my work got done. Would have went out for a beer last night after my crazy day at work but probably lucky for me that didn’t happen. Had a beer at home and did some more laundry.

Back to another week of running, eating and drinking. Will run more, need to eat more, need to drink less and need to sleep more. We’ll see how it goes.
