Run ThirtyGirl Run

I'm training to the Nike Women's Half Marathon at the end of October, here in San Francisco. I'm a little bummed because I twisted my ankle last week, so I am sore. But all in all I am excited.

I'm training with Team in Training, and working to raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. They are searching for a cure to blood cancers.

Officially, training starts on Saturday. I'm a little nervous that I am going to be the slowest. But, as noted on my todo list, I am trying to get over it.

oprah's talking about being 30-something

i'm half-watching Oprah talk to 30-something women in the US and feeling glad that she's talking to us, and kind-of annoyed by her interaction with the muslim woman she just spoke with. in any case, being in the 30-something age group is really interesting because women are at such different places in our careers, lives, families and strauggling with the same, but also really different issues. It is a puzzile

16 again?

This feels like the replay of my life at age 16 - boys falling in love with my best friend. She was perky and flirty and the boys nearly tripped over each other to date her.

30 needs to be the year of stepping out of the sidekick role. I am so over it.
