my parents' desktop computer is suddenly "broken", having come down with some sort of "virus". i didn't think it should affect my hardy and reliable mac, but apparently, my parents' computer needs to work for the internet connection to work? sounds fishy to me. it put a big wrench in some work i needed to do today and now i'm all crabby and ready to blame the entire world for my lack of convenience.
we managed to get my dad's laptop connected to the outside world so i could send some files, but not having internet access is worse than not having a telephone. or running water. i'm serious.
could i possibly be this spoiled and reliant on a technology that i've lived without for most of my life? it's sad, but true.
in job related news, i'm showing my portfolio to a creative staffing agency today and i've gotten some offers for more freelancing. of course this is also after i've committed to a full time schedule at the restaurant. this juggling of multi-gigs is stressful and i'll be happy once i can find a full time studio i love and adore.
and in running news, i have a 10 miler scheduled for tomorrow. which i hope is a breeze after running 15 last week. did i mention i ran 15 miles last week? ;) i'm not exactly sure how the rest of my training will play out in the next 2 weeks. i'll most likely do an 8 or 9 for my last long run, throw in a couple more speed workouts, and then go really easy the last 3 or so days before the race. if anyone has any suggestions, i'm open to them. i sort of got ahead of myself on the training schedule to meet my march goals so now i don't know how hard i should really be pushing at this point.
so have a great weekend peeps. my mom got us girls tickets to thunder from down under this saturday. my 60 year old, never been to a bar before, rosary praying, scared to go out at night mother got me, her, my sisters in law and her sister, tickets to a strip show. craziness! happy easter indeed!

There's no other way to celebrate Easter than to go witness some sweaty man strippers. The resurrection will be so much more meaningful for you!
What schedule are you running? 15 miles one week....10 the next... seems like madness!
Shiza! Have fun at the strip club... remember, those cracks are not for credit cards! :)
Sometimes we older folks will suprise you. You're mom sounds cool.
Don't know what to tell you about your computer. My life stops when my computers fail. It's hard to believe that only 25 years ago I didn't own a PC and somehow managed to live a fullfilling life.
Have a great weekend at the stip club.
Leading up to my half, I did a long run one Sunday, then a 3 miler the following Sunday, fifteen being my maximum distance. If you already have fifteen in the bag, I would say keep that as your long run and make sure you rest in between. Have a good time, and I'll be back to see how your half marathon goes.
BTW: Let us know how the dancing goes too ;-)
today before leaving for the airport, my work laptop wouldn't do anything, showing no signs of life I decided I couldn't possible do anything but fret. Eventually I got it going, but I'm totally dependent upon technology too.
My half-marathon schedule is pretty crazy, but I'd say follow the same schedule and if your race is on a Sunday make Friday an easy 3 miler and Saturday a cross-training or off day. (I'll look at my schedule when I get home, but this plan worked for my last half and full marathon).
