G'morning, amy

Sorry there have been a lack of posts. I was literally obsessed with the garden for a while, and just really busy in general.

I've been running the past couple of days and really love it.However, I've had really terrible shoes to do it in. Ted, a friend from work and I have been talking about running together lately and I told him that the shoes I was running in were terrible. He told me to go to the Seattle Running Company which I've seen a bunch (its right on the hill). And I always wrote it off as being expensive and ridiculous. He just got his shoes there, and (the link directs you right to what I'm talking about). They video tape your bare feet running on a treadmill for 10 seconds and tell you what problem you have (if you have one). And I do. I'm really flat footed and run on the insides of my feet (especially my right foot) it was so interesting to watch, the guy was so helpful in answering my questions. So he recommended 3 shoes for me to try and videoed me running in the shoe. And the one I ended up choosing (because it felt the best) was the one that most visibly corrected my goof leg. Crazy. It was expensive. Well, for me. Anna would tell me that getting a perfect fitting pair has no cost :) so I feel good about it.

I'm trying to force my body into somewhat of a daily routine lately, which I enjoy. Its hard working so late and not having school or some other task to get me up early. But it includes waking up around 9 with our laptop acting as my coffee for about 30 minutes. It also seems that listening to Boyz II Men and other 90s hip hop has been included in my routine, because I have been aaaaaaall about that being brought in my life. Then I go outside and water/weed/look at plants/plant seeds/move transplants till around noonish. I meticulously wash my hands after gardening because, after hearing a story from my friend (about her childhood), I am freaked out on high of getting pinworms. Mostly little kids get it but you get it from playing in the dirt. Anyways, hand washing is a funny part of my routine.

Run! Running after gardening. I am definitely not saying that I go on a huge run. Because I don't. 20 minutes maybe. I want to work up to longer times, but its so hard where we live because every direction you are going to be running up or down (and then subsequently up again) a hill. Its nutty. I love it though.

Then 4 days a week I work 4-midnight (the fifth I normally work 1-9, which is nice). I want to start going to bed by one instead of like 3.30. Its ok every once in a while but I just hate sleeping in.

So, there are the boring details of my life :)
