missing: 1/2 of the skin of my right knee in mountain brook…

31 Comments

so I decided to be all social yesterday and meet up with a group for a training run – and yep, six miles later, face down in the gutter with the skin off my hands and knees

so the lesson I learned??? running with people other than fred, sarah, and Nicole is rotten – and painful

“running free” – great classic book about the british miler seb coe – I think the book came out in ’83 – was basically wrapped up by the 1980 Olympics – I guess what I enjoyed most from the book was coe’s fearless determination after a bad performance in his first race at Moscow – he was written off – completely tossed aside – and he had the guts a couple of days later to get out there and win the gold in an event that wasn’t his strong suit – very inspiring

“Norwegian by night” – my first adult fiction book in years – I’m so diversified!!! anyway, an 82-year-old witnesses a crime – and his dementia prevents him being totally in the present, but his life’s memories and work help him protect a small child – all the while the police close in on the killer – really got good the further along one got

currently reading a great book involving why baseball players are overpaid – and why small schools both over and underperform – I should get a job with stats in education – but no one would listen to them

happy last-minute-shopping – if in doubt, yes, you definitely need to buy more:)

  8. Two reasons Fred got first:
    1) The “flu monster” felt sorry for him and gave him a “miracle”
    2) The leg lamp gave off miracle fumes
    Good job Fred!!!

  9. Also its a miracle I remembered it was Sunday!!! So miracles are in the air!
    Mafeld your miracle is next! Maybe your skin will grow back in 1.2 seconds!

  10. fred, I passed what used to be the dentist/orthodontist going towards the high school – near city hall – and for three seconds (I was running fast and, as usual, somewhat delusional) the sign “TredWear” looked a lot like “FredWear”

    what would fred wear???

    ps – I need to run with candy canes for the next two days – not that anyone’s out there:)

  11. Fred wears the dinosaur shirts we almost made last year. Remember we had the CustomInk thing set up and everything…?
    hah

  12. anna, fred’s on his deathbed, designing “fredwear” – his last greatest project before he leaves this earth

    you’ll have to leave a message after the beep:)

    (merry Christmas – I’m about to go try out a potential high school BOB for next year)

  13. So I just watched the Desolation of Smaug… Ooookay… There should have been Gollum, and Legolas should have died.

  17. totally, rachaelnina (means “little Rachael” in Spanish-speaking parts of the world)

    anna, I’m hopeful to read for some BOB this coming year – I’ve read middle and high’s books – the book I’m currently reading I hoped would work for high school BOB – and typically those books are good books for gifted kids in middle school – however, let’s just say 1/2 in, I’m pretty sure the story of two girls falling in love with each other will probably keep it nowhere near the BOB list:)

  25. Hi! I’m blogging from my new iPad! This blog has been deserted since Christmas. Is everyone too busy?

  26. rawchael – seems nobody but us hobos out there

    a few spammers – but I can’t tell you what they wrote (current count is 1,320 blocked – a few come in through my e-mail though sometimes – very, very odd requests those people make:)

  27. Hey!!!! I’m on finally! I wasn’t too busy…. just talking to Dani and the “hobo” Mafeld, you should get that 🙂

  30. billy – nice gift

    queen – funn-a-lee enough, that one came through – are you sure you’re not a successful Chinese businessman trying to see something??? 🙂

    Nicole – ah, the hobo – I thought you were Team Mafeld – my bad – by the way, the smell of the hobo through Chelsea park is still strong, a fact I discovered this morning while running in darkness
