RunningBlog: Week 8
Pretty good for a cutback week! Last Friday the podiatrist fitted me for orthotics and then taped me up again. It was too hot to run on Sunday, so I bumped my weekend run to Monday. I felt great! On Wednesday I actually decided to do speed intervals in the morning before Spudds. The tape had come off by that point, but my foot still felt surprisingly okay. The Spudds workout was hard and left me quite sore afterwards. Today I did an easy lunchtime jog with my friend Raj just to work out the stiffness before my next long run on Sunday.
Feb. 21: 6.43km
Feb. 23: 6.11km
Feb. 25: 4.65km
Total this week: 17.17km (10.7mi)
Total this year: 179.03km (111.9mi)To meet my goal of running 1100km in 2011, I should be at 169km right now. So I’m currently carrying a buffer of 10km. I expect that to grow this week given that I’ll be running my longest distance ever: 14 miles – 22.5km! Longer than a Half Marathon…

Dooce
The NYT has a great article on Dooce.com, the “Queen of the Mommy Bloggers.” I’ve been reading Dooce since before she got pregnant with Leta, I think. It’s an excellent look at the history of her site and the “real life blogging” genre in general. The bit that surprised me was how much money she makes from her site. I had no idea. I mean, I guessed it was a decent amount, given that she and Jon haven’t had day jobs in a long time. But that site is clearly up in the stratosphere in terms of generating advertising revenue.
In the interests of full-disclosure, w-g makes an average of $4 a month from ads on the archives. Fortunately RDF more than makes up for it…

Yesterday I got permission to double my desk and floor space at work. Makes me feel a little giddy to have so much room to move! #happykris

@venks79 Too late! I’m home now. But he’s good; will fill you in tomorrow. 🙂
@carbolicious Well, you said he was your new John Cusack, as if it had just happened! He’s been mine for like 5 years. 🙂
