In other news.

- So I can repeat this again, ad nauseum... work is fantastic. Almost all of it. Had a great review today.

- ProjRun is back on. I think I have a few favorites for this season brewin' in my head. Why was Natalie Portman a judge, though? Question mark?

- September 21st is the official day of my first 5K. I have much training to do to get to my goal: not to walk at all. I am on week 4 of the C25K.com program. It's about to get a lot tougher but I love the stepped training.

- Martha's Vineyard is truly one of the loveliest places I've ever been to. I will be back soon, I know it. It's just cracklin' with this magical pull that hooked the 9 of us that stayed the week. Had many an adventure that week: sharing a moment that was incredibly special, a strange pub crawl filled with tequila and 90s rap music, a gingerbread house community and a wild 4th of July parade, people leaping off the bridge seen in the movie Jaws, the most gorgeous outdoor porch attached to the huge house we stayed in, seeing Luke Wilson, purchasing Black Dog merch that I got suckered into, great food eaten out and amazing food eaten in, cooking pizza on the grill, sea kayaking on the open water (and my resulting messed up wrist tendon that required medical care... tho I'd kayak again in a second)... it was all wonderous.

- Been bustin' it on freelance design work. Almost have more than I can handle.

- My beloved camera broke about 3 days into vacation. It's a long story. Good news is that my new camera is on its way. Stoked.

Photos soon. But I'm lazy right now. I'm in a strange place in life right now. I am pretty ok with most things, really.

How are you timing yourself on the C25K program? That was the trouble I ran into when I started to do it - everything was timed in such short increments - Walk 30 seconds, run 1 minute, etc.

I bought a cheapy stopwatch that I just loop around my wrist and keep an eye on. On the tough days, I sure do watch those seconds tick down! Before I go out, I take a pen and write the times on the back of my hand to keep track if there are a lot of time/distance variances. I didn't really need to do that until the week I am currently on, but this round seems like I could lose track more easily if I didn't.

Hrm...ok, I'll have to try that. I intended to run a 5K this fall, but that's not going to happen. I still have 30lbs of baby weight to lose! I'm aiming for next summer now. I did promise to run a relay in September, though. It's only half a mile, but for someone who has never run ever in her life, that's a LOT!

You can do it! If you start now, you'll totally be at the half mile stage by Sept. A half mile equals about 5 minutes of running, give or take a bit (I run two half mile chunks and two quarter mile chunks in this week's c25k stage) and I know you can get there! I find if I count my breaths in and out, I get into a rhythm and can focus on that. A friend who runs 26 miler marathons taught me that trick. It's cliche to say, but there is so much truth in a lot of it being a mental training, too.

I give myself mini goals and then go past them, like...I'll run until I get to the next corner! And then I make it to the next corner and realize I can keep going to the next stop sign! But that way, if I can't run any more after the next corner or the next stop sign or whatever the goal was that I set, I don't feel bad about myself for walking because I made it to the goal.

OH GOD I AM SO JEALOUS. I would love to go with any of those with you! Alas for my lack of proximity to the Valley. Though maybemaybemaybe I can hit Bang Camaro with you if I end up visiting Maine that weekend.
