I just booked my flight and hotel to Aruba. Going with a few friends. First vacation since I went to San Francisco in 2008. Fun in the sun. Might go snorkeling and scuba diving, if I can afford it since I know how to swim now.
Hopefully I'll come back dark and tanned and well-rested. Five days, Sun to Fri. I'll be back to my long run on Sat or Sun with Marty. :)

Last Entry
Set up my livejournal account and made my first entry tonight. That prolly means I won't be writing in this blog anymore. Sorry having my brother read these entries makes me not want to write anything more. Haha.
I am so addicted to Facebook. I have to wean myself off of it. Danica unfriended me on Facebook last week or the week before that. I wasn't supportive of her book title stealing episode. Paula something swiped her book title and Danica was pissed. It was so silly, I thought. And some Post readers thought it was silly too. Of course, they weren't considered Danica's friends. It had a happy ending, she changed the book title. But even the change was stupid, she reworded it and used two different words to replace the same words in her title. I can't believe people waste their times on this. I don't think Danica is going to get another book deal. She's not that good a writer. I bought that book and didn't find that many good ideas. The new book is prolly going to be a bestseller. That must hurt. Anyways, the good thing is I unfollowed Danica on her twitter page, and won't check her blog anymore. She called me an 80 pound wench in high school so she was never my friend. I've successfully weaned myself off of her so I just have to wean myself off of FB.
Anyways, prolly my last entry to this site for a while.

Busy weekend
I had a busy weekend. Let me start it by going through what happened Friday.
I went to my first Yankees-Bosox game. I want to go to Boston and attend a Yankees-Bosox game there, but I digress. It was a great pitchers' duel between Josh Beckett and AJ Burnett. Somewhere in the 7th inning, I wondered how many innings this event will go through. I stayed until the 14th inning, and then I had to leave because I had to catch the 1:19am train home, if I missed it I would have to wait for the 3:20am train home. The game ended 10 minutes after I left with A-Rod hitting a 2 run walk-off home run in the bottom of the 15th inning.
So after spending 5:30 hrs, I spent a relaxing Saturday at home. I helped kill, clean and then I cooked crab with egg, scallion and ginger. It came out quite nicely making me reconsider myself as a bad cook.
Saturday night was busy, I went to my cousin's daughter's banquet party. She was barely 3 months old. Her name is Sandrine. Not a fan of her name. It rhymes with gangrine, but whatever. Not my child. I stayed for an hour and then jetted off to visit my friends Chiemi and Jacqui at Chez Jacqueline, got the lobster risotto and chardonnay. I enjoyed the wine, which surprised me I don't normally like wine.
I luckily caught the 11:19pm train back home by 10 seconds. Got home 20 after midnight as they ran out of taxicabs at the train station.
I then got about 4 hours of sleep because I had to wake up to catch the 5:57am train to Penn Station to meet the bus going to DC at 7:15am. You see I had bought a ticket to see Cristiano Ronaldo play soccer with the Real Madrid team against DC United at FedEx Field in Landover, MD. 4.5 hr bus trip culminated in a parking lot barbecue of hamburgers and hot dogs. Went with the Real Madrid meetup group. Ronaldo only played the first half but I was in heaven watching him play for 45 minutes. He left after the first half, but Real Madrid scored three times to win it 3-0 over DC United. It was a great match if you were a Real Madrid supporter.
Then it took abt 5 hours to get back home at 10:45pm. I got home again at midnight, just to see my dad pull in from work.
This week is a chill week. Just have lunch plans with a former co-worker on Thursday.
Also it's day 9 of my running sabbatical. One more day of inertia and then I get to return to running on Wednesday Aug 12. I am debating on whether or not to ask Marty to go running with me this weekend. I am thinking I should go alone to test my fitness, don't want to drag him out and then stop in the middle of the run. But I haven't seen him in 2 weeks and I miss him. I think I'm going to fall hard for him. For however much I liked Rich, I was never in love with him. He was way too conservative. But with Marty, I can feel myself slowly falling for him. He walks with me when I need to walk during our runs, he doesn't abandon me. How nice is that? I even wrapped his gift ahead of his Sept 18 bday. I gave him the extra copy of Running Within I accidentally purchased before I even met him. It's not at all personal so I most likely will give it to him for his birthday. And it's not like I bought it for him. That and a $3 map to Central Park. So my whole gift to him was $3. I found my Central Park map, on another brighter note. I love that map.
Okay this is a long enough entry, I'll write more when I start running and keep you posted on whether or not I am doing the long run on my own this weekend or not.

Calf Injuries
So I reinjured my calf yesterday, running 5 miles. I don't think I should have kept running on it. This time instead of resting it for 4 days, I'll rest it for 10 days. I really want to run this marathon. I'll miss Marty for a week and a half. I've decided that I really want to run this marathon above all else so I'll use Marty as a training partner. So what if I fall in love with him. I've fallen in love before. After the marathon is over, it'll be over. He would have met my parents, my brother, and even Paddy. I might get to meet his younger brother Seamus.
