same old, same old. no problem.

I've decided I'll watch the Amazing Race this season. Fox Reality channel (who knew there was a channel dedicated to reality tv?) played a marathon of the show over the weekend in prep for tonight's premiere. They succeeded in reeling me in. It's an easy show to watch, on a dead night for tv (other than Mad Men) and I can have it on in the background while I work. I've dedicated too much time to this topic so moving on.

What have I done in 10 days? I don't know. Worked. Ran. Slept. I worked today, so lucky me gets a 6 day work week. I messed my hip up in my huge run last week, which messed my left I-T band up, so I ditched out of the 8 mile run Saturday around mile 3. I'm not exacerbating an I-T problem two weeks before the marathon.

Saturday afternoon Nate and I took Audrey to the dog beach. You know I have to say this: it was totally snoozeville compared to Fort Funston. Audrey hasn't been to a beach in two years, and Fort Funston has limitless running, no fences, crabs to chew on, good stuff. This 'beach' on Lake Michigan was fenced-in, small and had no crabs or fun stuff to dig up. Audrey seemed to have fun despite my 'tude towards the place. She met some other dogs her size and they stuck together. She also faced her fear of water by almost touching it to steal a tennis ball on the shore. I think she is the only dog ever to be afraid of water. Figures she's my dog. We took lots of pictures but Nate hasn't uploaded them yet for me to post.

Then we sat at home. He's constantly swamped at school, like 12-14 hour days multiple times a week and 7 day work weeks swamped. I'm pretty busy and exhausted too from the course I'm teaching and from running. So when the weekend hits neither one of us is up for doing much other than vegging out in front of the tv. This has been the typical weekend for us since his school started. At least we're saving money.
