Since it's only been 24 hours since my last post, not too terribly much has happened. Ok, that's not entirely true. Early in the day I saw that all Hawaiian flight + hotel packages were crazy on sale through Orbitz, and I got an idea. N and I have been talking about going to Hawaii for our birthdays next winter, but we've also been joking about going somewhere warm like NOW. I swear every time we hang out we talk about going to Jamaica/Hawaii/Mexico/anywherebuthere "next week."
Well heck, why not actually go next week? After some excessive planning and way too much of my hopes being raised, it ended up not working out (unless I miraculously end up getting surprised before noon tomorrow when the sale ends). Oh well. SOMEONE thinks he needs to buy a house and would end up potentially closing on it the week before we would fly out. Apparently that's a little too much stress or something.... I dunno. :p Laaaaaame. Is your new house in Hawaii? No?? Then book the trip foo'. :D
I also am happy to report that I have not watched a single episode of HIMYM today (although if I type this fast enough, I may be tempted to throw one in as a night cap). Instead I caught up on the season finale of Jersey Shore, the reunion episode, and the "before they were on the show" episode. Then I got my GTL on as well. (Ok, I've yet to finish the L part. Usually I do laundry and then it sits in the basket/draped over chairs until I put everything away 2-3 weeks later.)
At the gym I had a 6 mile tempo run on tap. I forgot to check my old training schedules on the fridge for a 5 mile tempo pace, so I thought 8:15 sounded good. Um.... no. Uff. The first mile was a-ok, but then my IT bands got tiiiiiiiight, so I slowed it down to 8:25ish then kicked it up in the final mile.
I did 6 miles in 51:23 for a pace of 8:37. (Tempo pace 8:20)
1. 9:39 2. 8:16 3. 8:26 4. 8:26 5. 8:26 6. 8:08
I knew I must've hit 6 miles when I could barely see the monitor on the treadmill because of the heavy layer of sweat. The gym employees have got to looooove me.
Going around on Facebook this week is to change your profile picture to your celebrity doppelganger. I thought I would clue you guys in to who I've been told I look like just for the fun of it (and b/c this post is mighty boring otherwise :p).
First up, Miss Colbie Caillat. One of Tay's friends insisted that I could be her double when he first saw her music video. I'll admit she does have similar squinty eyes, large forehead, and big smile. But I don't see an actual resemblance at all.

So who have you been told you look like?!?
[Off to watch some HIMYM now....] Tehe.
