mmm...

first of all, the weather in london has been GLORIOUS for the last three days. really, it's been quite amazing. right now, bbc's weather website's synopsis of conditions for the day reads 'warm sunshine in the south.' that's right...warm, glorious sunshine. it's been amazing. ah.

post-week o' vaginas has left me on a bit of a event low. (you know, when you're used to running around and multitasking in every breathe you take.) this isn't necessarily bad; it's just left me in a bit of a I-don't-want-to-work-on-my-papers state. (the sun is also helping that quite well.) in coping with this lack of motivation, I have been running, reading 'east of eden' (a major obstacle to accomplishing any work), and cleaning my kitchen. (it's so sparkly clean!) but now I'm forcing myself to sit down, find relevant paper material, and read. blah.

one semi-sad thing of the day was making the decision to not register for the stockholm marathon. well, that's not exactly true. today is the last day to register; registration is full. and though my knees are giving me trouble, if registration hadn't already closed, I think I would have probably committed myself to running this race, much to the dismay of my knees. (bad news bears when it comes to these joints.) so, I'm going to try and appease myself by running a couple of half-marathons and focusing on training for a marathon this autumn. *unless something comes along that I can't resist*

now, I should tear myself away from my procrastinating and get to work on the paper world. plans for the weekend look to be fun and, hopefully, the weather will continue it's wonderfulness. ah, hello spring!

hope that this finds you all well and enjoying some sort of spring weather. loves to all.
