running log

[arguchik]

i ran 4 miles this morning, so i'm at 11 for the week. it was a good run, interrupted by a couple of unexpected sidewalk blockages due to construction (one small, one huge)--there was construction happening on both of these sites before, but the sidewalk blockages are new. i had to cross the street at the big construction site--with the help of a crossing guard.

i'm so grateful for running. it's really helping me to stay sane right now. (to the extent that i ever was sane, i guess.) it's rhythmic, meditative, helps to dissipate stress and tension, and gives me time and space to think, to just be. and breathe.

today i'll be home working all day. i'm hoping to get my syllabus and course packet finalized by early to mid afternoon. then some more work on my prospectus, which i haven't quite finished yet. hopefully i'll finish that today or tomorrow, and then i'll turn my attention to reading for the duke feminism workshop, and finalizing an abstract/proposal for a conference i'd like to attend in july--it's being held in oxford, england. if the proposal is accepted, this will be my first trip overseas *ever*.

if the timing is right, and if I'd be invited, I might want to come with you.

well of course you'd be welcome. you'd have to sit through my talk, though--i'd insist. :-)

I wouldn't miss it.
just don't stay there after the conference.
I already have three ex-gfs in England.
combine them with the one in Australia and they almost outnumber the ones still in the US.
