Today we had a warhead showdown and made way too big a deal out of it.

A stray kitten spent the day on our lawn, so we did too. We've named her Sputnik, she meows too much. Its cute. Isn't our lawn luscious? Thank you Matt and Franco.

Went to the San Diego Zoo with Mom, Dad and Vanessa. (Pictured. Who is coming to Van in a few weeks to run with me! Sweet.) Saw a hippo. Flew home. Good to be home, but I miss the family.

RAN A FUCKING MARATHOOOOOOOOOOOOON! The first 20 miles were pie. The last 6.2 miles felt like someone was hammering steel into every bone in my body. Not easy, but the afterparty was awesome. So proud of my parents. And myself. And my "team." Super happy day.

Marathon expo. Found some Elvi, ate some free kiwi and drank some free chocolatemilk. Bonded with my more-than-amazing running team, and ate a taco.

Got scared crapless about the flight to San Diego, so bought an $11 bottle of wine and opened it in a toilet stall with house keys and an eyeliner pencil. I got McGuyver-drunk, then flew to sunny San Diego.
