Finally! My Mac's got itself hooked up wit' da Ethernet strings and I compromise NOTHING! They use PCs here, and since I would rather put toothpicks into my eyeballs than use a PC, I was sans Internet until today. But I won! And now my life is complete.Life's been good. Things at work are a little slow this week as it is summer and schools are off (as I well know.) I am keeping busy getting my ducks in a row so I can launch a full-scale recruiting assault in September, but until then I am kinda laying low and gathering the forces.
Today I did something very different: I went to a diner for lunch - by myself - ordered a lovely salad, and sat and read a book. It was nice. And while I'm sure that thousands of people around the world do this on a regular basis, it was a very new experience for me.
In other news, I ran what was probably the toughest 5K of my life this past Sunday. The race T-shirt even said "The Toughest 5K in New Jersey" on the back and, while that may not be 100% accurate, at least I'm not the only person who thought it was tough. It was in my own town (which is an extremely hilly lake community) and I thought I'd be prepared for it since I train here. But clearly the guy who picked the route was a twisted sadist.
Needless to say, there was no PR for me. I did, however, place 2nd in my age category (30-39 y/o female) and so I felt really good about that. Hell, I even got a little award plaque! So all was not lost.
Uhh... I had other things I wanted to write about. Every time something funny happens I think, "I should blog about this" and then I forget it. Well, hopefully I can keep more current now that I am amongst the technologically living.

I agree on the mac. I would much rather use my mac than any other PC. My parents just purchased a new PC and I have been working to set it up for them. What a load of crap!
That 5K sounded rough... glad you got through it!
P.S. I thought ND was the armit of america?? Hehe:)
i hear ya. i still haven't worked up the nerve to go eat out alone. good going!
Second in your group? Whoa! The only time I did that, it was a tiny race with about 30 people in it, and several of them got lost on the course. Great job.
I suggest Mastori's in Bordentown, NJ, for anyone's dining out alone experience. My personal favorite: order the chef salad. It's piled about 3/4 of a foot high, and about 1.5 feet around. Takes about 3 hours to eat, so if you're picking at it, you can finish your whole book in one sitting!
Excellent job on the race. Sounds like you were handling those hills just fine!
