Still raining
Wow, I couldn't believe it when I heard it raining all through the night and it was still going when I woke up. Actually, by the time I started running it wasn't raining all that hard, but it was very windy. I felt like I could barely run in a straight line at some points! The fact that I ran on the Esplanade probably didn't help.
My knee felt about average on the Becky-scale today. I ran about 35 minutes and then did some more time on the elliptical (after drying off!) It was pretty uneventful except for a big truck trying to get past me on the Esplanade bike path! It must have been a parks department jeep or something but it scared me because I have never seen any vehicles there before. But as long as it didn't hit me, I was happy.
On a non-running related note, I'm so happy that the Expos are moving to Washington! I never thought it would really happen, but it did. Washington is an awesome city not just for its politics, and this will help legitimize that. Now we have even more of a reason to move back there when we're done with school...
Back to the books!

that's so funny. a bunch of my friends from school (from NY, MA, and Maine) all wanted to move to Boston after school and have spent years trying to get back to the city. there are even people from school in Boston who are originally from CA. they all love the city. (i like it okay so far, but my excitement for it is NOWHERE near their level). direct quote from them the last time i saw them was, "i think i could live here the rest of my life. don't you?" followed be emphatic nods of agreement by the rest. one girl quit her job in DC just b/c she wanted to move to boston so badly-no, she has no family or bf near here. they are SOOO in love with Boston and talk about it ALL THE TIME. my cousin is from NC and SHE LOVES IT and is trying desperately to stay here when she graduates. with that in mind, it's crazy (or at least unusual for me) to hear someone wants to go back to DC (which i loved SOOO MUCH too!). -but i would never back just for the Expos!!- seriously, though, what is it about Boston that attracts people so much?
