  • Fit to Run – at 50, 60, and 70

    “Fit to Run – at 50, 60, and 70.” Nice little article from today’s Sydney Morning Herald about Can Too and the many older runners they’re training.

  • Suckling Pig

    Oooohhhhh. Who wants to go eat suckling pig with us?!

  • Pixie Hat

    Note to self: Knit this Pixie cap for Indie this winter. And Amy. And me.

    @Epaulette You went to Zumbo and didn’t bring us macarons?! Blasphemy!


    @mpesce Are you settled in yet? @steven_noble and I should introduce you to the Duck & Swan with a beer (if you haven’t already found it).


    @Opheli8 Probably our stencil wall. It was most likely Charlie Chaplin!


    @DDsD @mpesce @steven_noble Lansdowne is good for cheap eats, but I prefer hanging out with old local dudes to students!

  • Petaluma

    “Petaluma: Where the Chicken and the Egg Came First.” A cute little article about the food scene in my sister’s NorCal town. I liked Petaluma.

    @carbolicious A crappy little accordion folder! It’s like the Mixed Up Files of Mrs Basil E Frankweiler. Only I know how to find stuff!


    @carbolicious Actually, I have a few in Evernote. I just never got in the habit of using it much!


    Just did my first official iPhone 4 FaceTime chat with Paul at work, both of us sitting at my desk. HILARIOUS! Worked great though.


    @randomknits It’s off playing with my knit love. Haven’t seen it in ages!


    Spent 20min ironing pants I decided not to wear. Then missed the bus. #lateagain


    @gilmae Hahahaha… I wondered about that.

    I’m up two hours early to go for the long run I should’ve done yesterday. Wish me luck.


    Halfway done with long run. So far so good.


  • Pre-run Stretching

    Does stretching before running prevent injuries? Scientists say NO. I often get defensive when other people ask if I stretch before I run, because I don’t. More research to back me up!
