tomorrow is a bike in the morning, school, the marathon expo, and then the QT2 wine mixer
and saturday i am riding with karl down in the cohasset region (beach riding!)
and sunday is my birthday! i am going to be 25, again. i am re-twenty fiving.

i already got my gift from pdubs because it came in the mail yesterday and it would have been totally ruthless to keep it from me until sunday! it was an awesomely fantastic KINDLE! ive wanted one forever, and it was worth the wait. i downloaded 6 books within 20 minutes of opening the box!! and as soon as i finish this blog post...i am going to go finish my first book!

2 random things that happened while running this week:
1) 2 turkeys ran across my extremely busy, not naturely at all street, missing me by mere inches! getting attacked by wild turkeys would have been a terrible way to die!2) while running on the rails to trails path monday morning at 10am, a girl on a road bike with aero bars and an AERO HELMET ON!! rode past me going 17 miles an hour. why was she wearing an aero helment? she was clearly a cyclist, no flat pedals for her: so why was she on the path and not the road? WHY DIDNT SHE SAY HI OR SMILE BACK AT ME? so many questions, and no answers. im going to jump in her path next time i see her.

i just made an awesome pizza with fresh spinach, artichokes, mozarella, roasted garlic, and pesto. and i am going to go eat it and enjoy it!!

but first, a couple pictures from The Big Easy:
