Hooray Weekend!

So it's only 3pm, but so far today has been a good day. I slept late, went for a run in my new-ish asics and accomplished the goal I wanted. I hadn't run in a week, I was giving my groin a rest, so I had been going to the gym and using the bike and the eliptical (I don't really understand what either do besides keep up my cardio - any explanation would be welcome). My goal for this morning was to run 4 miles. If I could do that, I could add a mile each week to my "long run" and I would only be about a week behind my schedule. I mapped out a good route thanks to this great site, and I set off. I kept a fairly consistent pace, and I finished 4 miles in 41:38! I had about a 10 minute mile (which is what I'm aming for) and I was tired when I finshed, but not ready to collapse..huzzah! I've decided that I'm going to stick to outside running as much as possible. I feel like running outside is easier/more fun than running on a treadmill (it's a constant change of scenery!). I'm a little sore, but I think that's to be expected.

After my run, I went to go pick up Nick and I's numbers for the 5k tomorrow, and then went to Dunkin Donuts to grab a flatbread, and this kid in front of me was .11 short, so I gave him the money. That was my good deed for the day. Tonight UMass is playing Northeastern in the HockeyEast quarterfinals at Northeastern...was thinking of going (sidenote: watching the Islanders/Bruins game, and the Bruins won (hooray!) but I have issues that "Dirty Water" is played after a Bruins win...that song only feels right at Fenway...anyways) but the game is being broadcast on NESN, so I'll probably watch it on that. UMass won last night 2-1; Northeastern is the #2 seed, UMass is #7. If UMass wins tonight, they're in the Hockey East semi-finals Friday night at the fleetcenter. Will Ferrell's show You're Welcome America: A Final Night with George W. Bush is on HBO tonight, it's a live performance of his show on Broadway. I've heard really good things abut it, and it got pretty good reviews. And, thanks to HBO, I can see his show without paying $120 a ticket. Thanks HBO!

Last night I went to the Celtics game with Greg, Diego, Greta, Meredith and Benett, they beat the Grizzlies 102-92. We went to the Harp after, and saw this great coverband, Joe Bachman & The Crew. It was basically, the dream playlist on my ipod. Lame I know, but they were great.

I think that's it for now, I need to go out to find safety pins somewhere because we didn't get any when I picked up our numbers for tomorrow...peace out! and GO UMASS!
