life! (and the kangaroo song)

i'm going to see batman tonight!!! hahah we're getting dressed up and going to dinner first, so it should be a good time.

last night we had dinner with the co-workers in china town at a cool resteraunt where they ordered tons of food i didn't like. haha but i did end up finding something yummy, so that was cool. Afterwards we went to this jazz bar called the dragon upstairs i think. it was awesome. there was live music, and it was amazingly rediculous. the main 2 musicians were a woman on the congas and vocals and this funny old french guy on the: piano, trumpet, and bass. all at the same time... it was incredible. and then they just started calling up people from the room to join them. i guess they do this often because the people they called up were fantastic. and then this random guy in the crowd started playing the harmonica out of nowhere, and they just jammed for like 20 minutes of improv. it was incredible. i don't even like that type of music, but as a musician i was seriously impressed.

i did decide to go on the long run tomorrow. though i will say my feet have been acting up lately, so i'm kind of nervous (and it had nothing to do with the heels i wore yesterday.. not at all). ive seen too many good runners get sidelined with plantars to take it lightly. not that i have plantars... but whatever i have aggrevates it, and i'm terrified it's actually going to become a problem one day. so i took today off, and i plan on doing lots of calf massaging.

this week was pretty low key training except for tuesday. the group was going 2 minutes round temp0-5k race pace, 1 minute easy, and it sounded like fun, so i joined them for an excellent workout. i wish we did that more back home. it was jovial. hahah

i am going absolutely crazy for pre-season to start... it is completely and utterly rediculous. i've never been this excited before... i dont' know what's gotten into me, but i am thoroughly and hopelessly stoked.
haha i decided it's partially becuase i have no boy to obsess over this year, so you chicas are my re-kindled love! teehee
though i'm not gonna lie, i can't wait to see nick and russell too! (among others)
lol. i just watched "the plunge" videos from nationals... and i died laughing. again.
