Internet Creep
Well, from the responses to my last post it is confirmed…something is making us hungry…using my deductive reasoning, I've decided it has got to be either exercising or blogging.
I discovered that by going in to work at 7 AM instead of 9 AM my commute is half as long which is fabulous. I went to work early, dropped off my stuff, and then went running on The Mall-which is flat. My pes anserine bursitis was hurting (remember my picture from a while ago?-Check out May 8) but I still ran b/c I felt like it. It hurt off and on so I don’t really know what that means. It made me realize that even though I didn’t run yesterday, biking 8 hilly miles does not constitute a rest day. But the weather was beautiful and I stretched in the shade on The Mall afterwards so you can’t beat that. However, I did have to spend the run with my work ID stabbing me in the leg. It made me think of an article Becky helped write (which I unsuccessfully tried to google) that details how you know if you’re a true DC runner. One of the items is something to the effect of, “You have gone running with your work ID, cell phone, or palm pilot.” The list is pretty good-and accurate. Becky, correct me if I am butchering your work, which I can tell I am.
I forgot my ice pack at home so I had to go to CVS. While I was there I decided that in addition to the instant ice pack I was buying, I really should just buy a permanent one for the office. So I found myself unexpectedly shelling out $20 on ice packs. As I stood in line it occurred to me that purchases like THIS may be one reason why I found myself worrying about money yesterday morning!
There is one women’s shower at my office which is in the bathroom (that has a single stall). So I was basically showering, in a towel, and dressing right next to people who innocently wanted to use the bathroom. I don’t think a lot of people use the shower so it was like, SURPRISE, a semi-naked employee is in the bathroom. Hehe.
Then there was pizza and beer with some friends, two runners with achy knees (like me!). I thought of the bloggers a lot tonight b/c my friends asked how my meeting with my “internet friend” went (Nanda), and then they wanted to know how I ended up with a blog so I talked about Becky and Alison. Then I was in the supermarket and found the peanut butter Leilani recommended and thought of Jon when I discovered a new Balance bar in Smores flavor. How crazy is all of that? My internet life is creeping into my daily life :) Night all.

I love your reasoning! I definitely think is blogging that's making us hungry! ;) That made me laugh a lot!
