sprint, bitch, sprint!

status check - fabulous
background ambiance - silence

i never realized the potential possessed by marathons until i was on the edge of my couch this afternoon cheering on the women olympic marathoners. what a race! sure the first 20-odd miles are rather slow going, but then, wow. you have marathoners struggling against their bodies and minds to finish, you have americans charging up from behind to take the bronze, you have drama, humidity and strategy - we were all honestly gripped by the last half hour or so. they should market this. "marathon - kind of slow start, but golly! what a finish"

svetlana, so sorry about the bars. it's this karma thing, see?

one chapter written and i've been laughing while writing. knock on wood.

i will wake up earlier this week. i swear.
