rebeccmeisterYesterday was hectic. But I did learn that Jesus loves me, and it was nice to hear my advisor's advisor give a talk--he's a great speaker. The ants all got fed, so the world can go on for at least one more day. By the end of the day, I was tired of organizing things and tired enough to be incoherent. Oh well.
This morning, I got up early to row with the people that I'll be racing with at the Head of the Charles. While it was fun to finally get back on the water yesterday morning, this morning was more fun--the other rowers in the boat seem like cool people, and I think we'll have a good time in Boston.
Immediately after rowing, I biked over to Papago to meet my fellow Desert Strudls (running training buddies) and D to go for a run. After some initial mix-ups with respect to location, we all made it to the same parking lot and went on a long run--11 miles. The longest run I have ever done in my life. Of course, I could have said the same thing about the previous long run. I guess that's the point of this whole process, right? We ran along some of the canals in Phoenix, and passed by the Arizona Waterfall--an entirely manmade waterfall in the middle of a manmade canal system. I guess they're trying to make the whole canal system more accessible to the public or something. It kind of reminded me of the Cedar River Watershed (was that what it was called, Mom?) Visitor's Center, which was, of course, much cooler because it featured a set of drums that were drummed upon with carefully timed spurts of water.
After all that, we came back to my house (bouncy, bouncy) and ate some delicious waffles with fruit and whipped cream (or, rather, blended cream, which verged on butter).
More adventures were had, and work was generally avoided. Tonight I will make some peanut sauce and then sit around and watch Puma Man and eat ice cream.
More Saturdays should be like today. I have to do a lot of work tomorrow. Ugh.
