Weekend Recap: Dogs, I wish you would stop peeing and pooping!

I'd like some kind of peace when I spend most of my weekend at home w/ you guys.

I basically decided that until my vacation beginning of April I'm not going to go out so I can get more work done, or at least be in a state to get more work done, regardless if I actually do, and maybe in the process I'll save some money too.

Friday night I was going to stay at work late but it was a crazy week w/ the boss on my butt all week and then everyone else in the office left by 5 so I think I took off at 5:30. Cleo and I did 3 miles then I hung out at home. Oh, I cooked stuff which for me is crazy. I made a trip to Whole Foods and actually bought stuff. I cooked up a ton of carrots, and baked some butternut squash and made myself a burger w/ my $18/lb. Spanish goat milk cheese. Forget what else I really did, some x-training in my room and watching TV.

Got up Saturday morning with plans to go to work most of the day. Wanted to get some laundry done first though. Did a bunch of laundry, so many trips, can't wait for my new place and laundry on my floor!, though I don't know if they have front-loaders like the laundromat. I hate top-loaders!!!!! Laundry took forever and it was raining the whole time. By the time I was done I just didn't feel like going outside anymore. Didn't make it to work. Just did stuff, what I don't really remember, oh, catch up on 'Lost' and watched 'Monsoon Wedding.' I've been to one Indian wedding. It was crazy and lots of fun! My friend Sham had an arranged marriage basically, he's a smarty engineer and she's a pediatrician. Haven't seen them in awhile but last time I did they had a little baby. Not sure what's happened since. They live in Boston but we don't keep in touch.

Made a spaghetti dinner last night because I had a big race today. Made whole wheat pasta w/ spinach, sliced almonds, cranberries and my Spanish cheese grated. Didn't have a sauce so it was kinda dry but good anyway. Wanted to go to bed early because I had to rest for the race but didn't fall asleep until about 1:30 and then took the dog out around 3:30 and then had to get up at 7:45 but forgot about daylight savings so luckily Tara texted me at 6:45 which was now 7:45 so I lost an hour of sleep there. I was pissed! Didn't sleep much or well last night. Got up for the run, met Tara and Jos at Central. It was fucking crazy windy out!!!! Got to the race in Beverly w/ plenty of time. Somehow they lost my race packet and number so they had to give me a new number but I paid extra for a shirt and they said I could get it later. I guess I have to contact them about it. Race started at 10am. It was a 30K (18.6 miles). One of the draws for this race is it's only $10. But that means just water on the course, and I didn't get any after about mile 14 because there was either no water or no cups for the water. Some parts of the race were so fucking windy, I couldn't believe this was for real and I still had 10 miles or 9 miles or 8 miles, etc. to go, I could barely push through the wind. I was doing okay most of the race, not pushing too hard and staying under 10 min miles. I wanted to break 3 hrs but I must have really slowed down the last couple miles because I finished about 3 hrs 4 minutes. Still sub-10 min/mile pace which is fine w/ me for 18.6 miles. Jos ended up getting injured during the race. She finished but sprained her knee so we took off real quick to get her home, though we stopped at Spuds for some food, this random place in some town outside Boston w/ all old people inside. We got some food and a good rest before getting Jos back home. Now I'm home and very tired and had a nap for about 15 min. Why I woke up so quickly not sure. I feel hungry again too. Returned a bunch of phone calls but no one is home so they'll all call me sometime later when I'm really exhausted and don't want to talk.
