Mint chocolate chip
I have been meaning to mention this for quite some time now, and I finally remembered. This is going to sound really weird, but today I ran on a street near MIT that I had biked on before, and all I could smell was mint chocolate chip. I mean, it's rather overwhelming--I noticed it one early morning biking last week. The strange thing is, it's an industrial block, with the backs of many buildings and factory-ish type places; it's not like there is a candy store around the corner. What could it be?? Not that I'm complaining--it is a great aroma!
So I ran to the gym today (and got a little lost on the way, which I haven't done since the first week we moved here), biked for a bit and then ran home. My knee actually felt a lot better on the way home, possibly because it's more of an uphill. Tonight I wanted to pool run, but the entire Olympic-size pool was in use for water polo and swim team practice, so I swam in the smaller pool instead. It was very warm and super-crowded, but the time passed quickly for some reason. I'm sure that won't be the case when I swim tomorrow morning.
I talked to Dr. Brady today about some other exercises he would suggest for my knee(s). He gave me a few new ones and I am going to try to do them tonight during The Bachelor, if I cave in to watching. I got hooked on it last year because I was always coming home from my track workout and eating dinner when it was on each Wednesday. Of course I have work to do, but priorities are priorities :)
As always on Wednesdays. I am a little glum that I'm still not able to do track workouts. I guess I've waited this long though and nothing too bad has happened to me. It's only a matter of time, but why can't the time move faster?

Really...we're weird. Because when I went bikeriding with Mom and Dad on Friday evening, I kept saying, "Mom, it smells like 'Pat the bunny' in these woods." Um, needless to say, she thought I was weird, but B, you get it! WEIRD SMELLS, random associations. For the record, I'm not nuts...there is one "sniff" section of Pat the Bunny that is a woods-like smell. What is strange is that I havent seen that book since I was 6!
