brief update

This Sunday is the HSBC 10 km race. I'm pretty ... excited? Let's say excited. Let's say excitement mixed with fear.

My training has been going fine, every time I go out for a run I go for at least 45 minutes, usually closer to an hour, and I'm running in the awful heat. I'm getting pretty damn tired of watching and listening to weather forecasts that say "OH, what glorious weather!" My foot! Are YOU running out in the blazing sun and 30 degree temperature? If so, you would realize that it's not glorious at all. AT ALL!

The good news is, according to my pal Todd Gallant on the morning news it's supposed to cool down this weekend. So, here's hoping for the normal 10 degree rainy day for race day.

In triathlon news, Christine and I start our triathlon training class on Monday. That's just going to be a good time. I'm going to look like a silly goose.

And no, I haven't started swimming yet. Next week? Let's hope for next week. I'm going to do the goggles and even the swim cap. Sexy.

I got a whopping B- in Art History 203, I guess that's fine. It was fine considering the circumstances. But I suppose I always say that. I haven't got the RELS mark back yet.

Tonight is the wrap up bbq for Focus 3 year 1. That should be fun times. It's been nice not having to worry about the F3 homework. I have already been having nightmares about choir in the fall so I should get organizing for that. mmmmmm organization.

In computer news, Tyler and I have a macbook now. In nerdy news, I had to ask a girl in my art history class (who had an iBook) to show me how to use said macbook. Now I have made a friend. This is a fairly major accomplishment for me. I'm enjoying the macbook but I seriously question whether I will ever understand how to use it as well as a pc. Perhaps in time. It's got a 3 year warranty and I expect it to last at least as long.

Well well - my number is almost up at the U of C service stop, which means it'll be back to the books for me....
