Twilight and Running

Last week I was sucked into the world that so many tweens know as the Twilight Saga. Yeah, I think I read over 2000 pages in about 3 days. I even re-read the first book before seeing the movie on Sunday with my other Twilight obsessed friend. There was 1 theater in Chicago still showing the movie and after jumping on the bandwagon late I had to see it on the big screen ;) Of course the book was better but it doesn't stop me from obsessing over the authors website and anything Twilight related. I...am...such...a...dork! The love story between a vampire and teenage girl kept me from all other daily activities (like remembering to eat dinner one night!) Now all the books have been thorougly digested and I may be slightly depressed. I need a new hobby. Although I didn't do much of anything than sit in my office or my bed to read I actually did keep up my regular workout schedule and got in some beneficial runs. Since the temps actually rose to a balmy 30 degrees last week I was even able to go outdoors to run one day. Unfortunately it quickly returned to mid teens and I returned to the treadmill.

This week makes my return to work full force officially. blah. I have been re-assigned and am forced to spend the week in San Antonio learning there is all to learn about this new drug and study. These meetings are the worst. Extremely long days with a lot of sitting around and eating empty calories. My suit is already a bit snug...I'm hoping to squeeze in a workout tomorrow now that everyone decided to push up dinner tonight so it's impossible to squeeze in anything other than a 10 minute hotel room push-up/sit-up routine.

Maybe you will be able to get a run in in San Antonio if there is nice weather! I heard that there is another Twilight book coming out but maybe it was just a rumor!

Hi Jamie

I get the whole Twilight fascination thing as I watched the trailer on Youtube and found myself intrigued. And no you are not a dork.

This weather has been killing me too. A couple days in Miami had me thinking I must be nuts to live in Michigan or the midwest for that matter. Winter is just really tough and it felt so good to be warm.

Have fun in San Antonio and try to find some time for yourself.. to get out and run!
