stonepicnicking_okapi1. The family is leaving for Aruba in less than 12 hours!! I need to finish packing.
2. I did another long run today. This one in 1:37:11 so I am still under the 2-hour limit. They call it the SAG wagon that picks you up if you are too slow. My only goal is to cross the finish line alive and ahead of the sag wagon.
3. I got my race packet. I was worried it would arrive while I was gone or be lost but, no, it arrived (parking pass, shirt, and bib). I am #90172. So the race is 9 am on 10 Nov. It is a 10 km race across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. I hope I don't fly off.
I have to do a State of the Ficcery today, too, so I will leave the rest for that. I will not be back until Tuesday 5 Nov.
25 OCT: Global Champagne Day: Champagne. Yay or nay?
I love champagne and the cheaper sparkling wine derivatives and the mixed drinks with it. Bring on the brunch Mimosas!
26 OCT: Howl at the Moon Night: Do you like werewolves?
Yes. Watson is a werewolf in one of my Sherlock Holmes AUs and given the adjacent werewolf-ness of Omegaverse, I spend a lot of time in that kind of world.
27 OCT: Visit a Cemetery: When’s the last time you visited a cemetery? I went to see the one my great aunt was buried in a long time ago. I was in my 20's. It was in Mobile, Alabama. I haven't been to the one my mother is buried in since the funeral which was 31 years ago. There isn't a reason for me to go back there.
28 OCT: Saint Jude’s Day: What do you consider a lost cause? People who like and vote for Trump. He is a hateful idiot. And you think it's a good idea to give him control of nuclear weapons.
29 OCT: Hermit Day: Does the hermit lifestyle appeal to you, why or why not? Yes. With independent wealth and lots of art and crafting supplies, sign me up!
30 OCT: Candy Corn Day: Candy Corn. Yay or nay? Yay! I bought my 3rd bag today. Nom, nom.

Date: 2024-11-05 11:40 pm (UTC)I do an interval of 4 minutes jogging and 1 minute walking, repeating for as long as required. It works for me, so far. This race is more about the location. I just fancy being on the bridge (it is a very long bridge) and this is the only way to do it, and it provides a challenging but not impossible goal.
