They yester, and I’m today....

Seriously diggin' the new Lupe Fiasco Album. If you haven't heard of him or it - check it out. Lasers by Lupe Fiasco. He's pretty awesome.

And now for something completely different.....(anyone? bueller?) Please tell me SOMEONE knows the phrase and/or spinoff show.....

Guess I'm just a Monty Python nerd then :-)

So I ran the Phillies 5k yesterday! OMG it was awesomesauce! I totally PRed with a 23:37. Just over 7 and a half minute miles. I can't believe how fast I was running - that's fast for me atleast. A few pictures:
















My Results:
KATIE FITZGERALD Overall: 165/3000 Official Time:23:39  Pace:7:37    Age Division Place(20-29):15/594   Sex Division Place: 30/1410  F

Needless to say, I'm pretty pleased with the race! I PRed and I felt great. Only bad part about yesterday was the allergy attack I had immediately following the race. No joke - sneeze-o-mania! Thankfully I was able to go to the drug store and get some Allegra. It has since helped!

I went to a house warming party last night for Jack's and Mark! Fun times as always :-) No rock band was broken out (hehe)...maybe next time! lol :-)

Today I got up (I got a sub for my spin class) and ran 7.6 miles. I felt GREAT! It's COOOOLD out there and I should remember to wear vasoline on my face from now on when I run outside but other than that - I felt so great! About 1 month til Broad Street. Here's hoping it's another PR!

I should really be doing homework right now but I'm heading out shortly to meet up with one of my swimmers' parents for an end of the season recap. It'll be nice to see her and see how her daughter is doing with track so far.

Other than that - another busy week ahead. We have THREE lacrosse games this week - ALL AWAY - ugh. I'm trying to arrange a happy hour/hang out with the coaches after the game on Friday since we'll all already be together. Hopefully that can work out.

Lots of things coming down the pike - two research papers, a presentation, getting student teaching together, finding a summer job, more running, more reading, more researching, more coaching, etc. Who has time for a social life? ha - not me - oh that's good cause I don't have one anyway :-)

Alrighty - time to go get ready. Ciao!

Pinch Me....

It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on.
Take a drink right from the hose
And change into some drier clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
Sleep away the afternoon.~Barenaked Ladies

I think it's only appropriate that I start with a few BNL lyrics considering I'm going to see them tonight!!!! Radio City Music Hall! So pumped! We have 6th row seats :-) Hopefully they won't check my camera/video camera...I'd like to try and get a video of a few songs...so keep your fingers crossed for me.

After the concert we're planning on meeting up with a few people - Reagan included! Then Saturday Kelly and I are going to see American Idiot, the Green Day Musical. So excited for that too!

We're coming home Saturday evening...and Sunday I have all day to exercise (thank god, I've seriously slacked this week) but Sunday night we're going to see SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY!!!! 7th row. Yup. This weekend (it's safe to say) is pretty spectacular.

However, Y'all get an update on previous days......

PSC Guard Party - As Bethany says, If there can be Christmas in July, Why not Halloween in August? :-)
Pics:





















So yeah - it was fun. I also have a few videos which will not be uploaded but they're fun too.

Other highlights from the evening - After WaterPong we Tiedyed shirts - mine looks fab - then went swimming. I even went off the high dive! This is a feat for me, trust me on that one. After the party at PSC a few of us went elsewhere - it was fun. I had a good time with everyone. It's been an interesting summer to say the least. I'm not sure how many other things could top it :-)

Anywho - that's the latest and greatest with me. It rained most of yesterday so we closed the pool early - and I came home and pretty much did nothing. I was so tired (I suppose four hours of sleep will do that!)

Today is looking like the same as yesterday but I'm hoping to get a run in this morning since I haven't worked out since Tuesday. I need to start doing more long runs! Just over a month til the Half Marathon - but eh, whatevs. I'll be fine :-)
