My Blogworthy Spring

It has been pointed out to me that I have become a bad blogger.  In that I have not blogged in 3.5 months.  I would tell you that this is because I have not done anything blogworthy in the last 3.5 months, but the whole point of blogs is supposed to be that the bar height for "blogworthy" is infinitesimal.  So without further ado:

• I ran two half-marathons.  Yes, we do always start out with running around here.  I was injured for, basically, half the spring, and then I ran a whole bunch, and it cured me.  The first half was the MORE (women only) Half Marathon, in Central Park.  It went okay; I suffered from the hills and the heat and finished in 2:27, which is a decent time for me and a PR (personal record) for that course.  The second, a month later, was the Brooklyn Half Marathon, a much easier course.  I had basically not trained at all since the MORE so I intended to do poorly, but I ended up with a 2:18 finish, which is a PR, and crossed the finished line hand in hand with my gentleman caller runner.
• I did not actually go on any trips, but I planned a few - two short and one long - for later in the summer. Very exciting, right?  Stay tuned.
• I bought lots of sweat-wicking clothes.  My fashion aesthetic has turned into "all workout gear all the time".  This is not so much because I'm a gym rat as because the other options, as far as I can tell from stores, appear to be "my grandmother, who thinks enormous tunics and baggy pants are stylish and flattering" and "prostitute".  But there are some really adorable tennis skirts and yoga tops out there

This weekend, which I understand is supposed to be a very exciting Holiday Weekend, has been pretty low-key.  I installed my air conditioner and had my bike fixed and got my annual haircut (very short, slightly puffy, currently full of styling product).  I saw a contemporary ballet performance at the Joyce (iffy for the first two acts, very good for the last act) and Don't Dress for Dinner on Broadway (hilarious for the first act, draggy for the second act).  I ate Thai food, felafel, organic brunch at Josie's (a rare treat), and pizza.  I did not exercise except for a little bit of yoga and a bike ride, because the gyms are mostly closed and it's hot out, although apparently I am running tomorrow morning.

Anyway.  Perhaps I will come back to blogging now.  If so, there will be exciting installments... well, probably not tomorrow.  But soon.
