Marathon Plan

Since all marathons, as far as I know, are held on Sunday mornings, it just so happens that I could run a marathon on my 30th birthday, which will be on Sunday, January 29, 2012. So that's the plan. I found out there's a race in Miami that day. There will likely be others, but I like the idea that there is definitely the option of running somewhere without snow in January. I'm going to have to start training today. Ok, tomorrow. Sometime soon anyway.

The End of Moby Dick

Finished reading Moby Dick tonight! So glad that one's done. The story started with such promise, being all witty and exciting in its promise of first-person adventure on the high seas... and then it turned into something weird and long and not a little bit boring in parts. Cetology is not a subject I will further investigate.

No matter - another item off my list.

Today's top story:

First semester of J-school done, one more to go, and I'm extremely happy to have December off. All I see when I close my eyes at night is unedited text, taunting me with its imperfection. Poorly delivered radio rants, blurry stand-alone photos, and unattributed sources will be my downfall.

In other news:

This month I intend to finish reading Moby Dick (so close!) and go climbing a few times. Also, maybe, but probably not, get back into running. Might milk a cow too, since a friend of a friend conveniently lives on a dairy farm. So I may be back on track with the life list. Or I may just veg for three or four weeks before the insanity starts again in the new year.
