Stayin Alive
I have a ton to say, but I just wanted to quickly update my blog before my mom thinks that I have totally disappeared from the face of the earth (she is my one faithful reader!).
Running has not been the best lately because my mileage took a little tumble. I hit my 60 mile week and then hibernated for the next two weeks (43 and 47 miles). This week is already on the upswing with 9 miles posted on Monday and 10 yesterday. I am crossing my fingers that I deliver another 8-9 tonight! I woke up with the intention of running 3 miles this AM and more the in the PM, but - as usual - work has usurped my morning time. I am busy writing 4 articles for the magazine that I working at (www.forherinformation.com). We launched our preview issue and now we are hard at work on the real stuff. My articles are quite diverse: a feature on CSAs (community supported agriculture), an article on a local author, Leslie Goldman, who is publishing her first book: The Naked Truth about Women: Body Image and Re-Imagining the 'Perfect Body' (technically, it's an ethnography from inside the women's locker room - I highly recommend it - and I am sure I will write a lot more about its brilliance!), an interview with a numerologist and psychic (www.carmenharra.com), and a feauture on HOT MOMS.
Now I have to swicth gears and attend to my other life - that of a graduate student! I have to work at the writing center all afternoon, come home and run, write a paper, read, and then work on the magazine.

Six. And I know from looking at the page stats there are many more.
I am going to subscribe to your magazine, it looks interesting!
Good luck with the running and juggling everything you're involved in!

Damn. I can't count. Audrey's comment wasn't there when I pulled up the page last night, but I didn't write my comment until this morning :-)
SEVEN.
