Monday

 Ice-skating was awesome!  I had thought it was just going to be me and one other girl, who is nice but kind of quiet, but there ended up being five of us in all and we had a great time.  The rink was pretty small, and I didn’t bring the right kind of socks so I have a nasty blister on my right leg, but nonetheless it was fun – and apparently one doesn’t forget how to ice skate, even after 20 years and 60 pounds 🙂  I was pretty pleased with myself.  Also, we got frozen yogurt afterwards, and they had peanut butter, which is pretty much my favorite flavor of everything, so that was cool.

Yesterday we had some people over to watch the game.  Some of my D&D friends weren’t thrilled about skipping a gaming day for a football game, but they came anyway and had a good time.  I appeased them by taking them to a fabulous comic book store near my house before the game started.  Anyhow, we had tons of food and good company, and I was really happy with the game because I freakin’ hate Tom Brady and Bill Belichick and enjoyed watching them lose.  

The only downside of the weekend: though my cold got better, on Saturday night it morphed into laryngitis and I had virtually no voice yesterday, and only have a bit of a voice today.  Also, Sophie has caught the cold now, so she’s a snot machine – and you can imagine how pleasant that is.  Poor thing, I hope she feels better tomorrow.

I attempted Week 7 Day 1 of the C25K program today, and almost did it successfully – I really think it’s a mental block keeping me from running 20 minutes straight.   I walked for two minutes in the middle of it and did fine, hopefully on Wednesday I won’t psych myself out!
