“Why do I get emotional during one particular yoga pose?” That’s fascinating. I haven’t experienced that in particular – I don’t do much yoga – but I’ve had something similar running. On a handful of occasions at the end of a race or a particulary draining workout, I’ve just found myself on the verge of tears. Being wrung out makes me cry, I guess.

This weekend vs. next weekend
This weekend or next weekend? Ahh, the dreaded “this” vs. “next” debate. Contrary to what Kelly McMahon and the Snook would have you believe…
“Next weekend” always occurs after “this weekend”. It never occurs before it. Since “this weekend” is never in the past, that means that “next weekend” will occur a week after the “this [forthcoming] weekend.” Anybody who thinks that “next weekend” is less than a week away is forgetting that “this weekend” exists. [source]
I really couldn’t agree more!

@Bevfam @Jimbo_W Thanks for the RTs – and the listens! I’m just annoyed it’s not up in iTunes yet. Grrr.
Ah! The latest GGR episode isn’t listed in iTunes yet, but it’s there if you subscribe. Guess it just takes a while for main page to update.
@Bevfam Weird. I don’t see the review! Wonder if it caches them in various locations or something.
@Bevfam Ahhh, reviews are listed *per country*. I need to figure out how to see reviews in other countries!
I feel like I want some big giant headphones at work so I can feel even more isolated over here in my corner. 🙂
@redambition The Mother’s Day Race? Yay! It’s a really fun event. I’ll be doing it too!
Sarah McLachlan followed by the Spin Doctors? Evidently my iPod is having some mid-90’s nostalgia today. I feel like I’m back in college.
Still feeling run down. Yawning and in bed by 9.30 tonight.
RT @coachprs: I feel this is important enough info to put out there again. Forefoot v Heel Strike Hmmm? http://bit.ly/b6Cijy

Started my Monday with a marathon 3-hour meeting that systematically destroyed a 20+ page spec. FML.
Best follow-up to 3hr meeting is realizing you’re sick and having to rush home to take antibiotics ASAP. This sucks and I feel like crap.
Just completed a 5.47 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/aCUvOw #RunKeeper
