I Like Trees
This is seriously the level of cognitive function that is available to me at 6:00 am. I was running along this morning, and literally that was the thought in my brain - I like trees. Trees are pretty.
So the foliage is nice in northern New Jersey right now. It is very dark in the mornings and I think I am going to buy a reflective vest on Friday so that I don't get run over. Anyway now that it's almost 10:00 and I am more awake, here is a brief run report - ran for 7 miles along Horseneck Road. I was planning on 6 miles but I felt great and I did not even have a hint of pain in my hip, IT band, or knee. Today is the one month anniversary of my marathon and I finally feel like running again, and I feel good when I run. I think I am mostly recovered although I will still go to the PT on Friday.
Last night I did the elliptical for 95 minutes at a higher intensity than normal - those things must not be right because it said after 65 minutes I had burned like 950 calories and gone 9.5 miles. So that was a good time although I watched like 10 minutes of The Swan which has got to be the most disturbing thing on television. I do not want to think about it any more right now. Tonight I have no plans per se so I am going to go back to the gym, lift weights, and then elliptical for one hour while I watch my favorite TV show, the Gilmore Girls.
Also in light of recent events I believe I have decided to be Ashlee Simpson for Halloween so hopefully I will be able to pick up some costume-like items tomorrow in NYC or else at the mall or something. I can't decide if this will be really funny or kind of stupid but at least I will get to run around singing poorly which I am very good at!

I think that's a funny costume idea. I heard a sound clip of Ashlee on SNL this morning. Gosh, she was awful!
