back from the track..

I just got back from an amazing speedwork session @ the track. Sometimes we do it in partners (one partner runs, one walks and the runner has to sprint till s/he catches the walker again) but tonight we ran at our own pace- 2 laps fast, one jogging, and it was great- I ran with my friend Peter, the banker from Dorset, and we just flew- once in a while I have these nights where everything just seems to work and tonight was one of them. It doesn't happen every day, but when it does, it's great! Peter was wearing his HR monitor which has an odometer and we ran 6 miles (about 10K)... not bad for an evening practice. Unfortunately, Julie might be injured- she has a sore heel so she's taking it easy this week- maybe everyone could send some healing vibes so she gets better quickly and can run with me again. Ready.......GO!

Today I had to explain a new one to Ahmed: "Skating on thin ice..." (in reference to my driver who was 30 mins late for the 4th time in 2 weeks...). I don't think he knows what skating is, so it was a little tough to explain, but I think he got the gist eventually.

In other news, my "boyfriend" Simon W was involved in an accident over the weekend- a car hit another car which veered into a group of cyclists-- it sounds like nobody was badly hurt, but it's scary nonetheless....
In other, other news (and this will probably really only interest Nicky and Jen) did you hear Dakota Fanning has signed on to play Jane (one of the Volturi Guards) in the next twilight movie? I was sort of disappointed, I thought the fact that the actors were all unknowns in the first movie helped you focus more on the story, but I guess famous people sell more tickets...

Speaking of movies, I finally saw Slumdog Millionaire the other night- someone from the running group got a copy of it and we had a potluck movie night. It was a good show, I'd definitely recommend seeing it if you haven't.

Anyway, it's almost time for bed for me, work and another run tomorrow- I hope you're all doing well!
