OMG so tired! Then the next morning I flew back to the West Coast, spent a couple of days in the Bay Area getting organized and having fun and taking a nap. OMG so ... http://www.courtenaybrown.com/2009/01/i-need-a-nap/ Or, after my last post, I should say "What happened to last WEEK?!". I've been silent on my blog because my mom is one hell of a social planner. We have had at least one function, often two, every single day since Christmas Eve, by which time I was not ... http://www.courtenaybrown.com/2008/12/the-rundown/ It disappeared, that's what happened.

I don't. ... http://www.courtenaybrown.com/2008/12/my-brain-ate-it/ Yesterday, my 17-day weekend in Seattle came to an end. I flew down to Reno to pick up my car and then drive to Marin.

But it was pouring with snow and I opted to stay in Reno overnight rather than digging my snow ... http://www.courtenaybrown.com/2008/12/renos-unrequited-love-for-me/ So yesterday I ran a 10k! The race was good. I was supposed to do the 10k to sort of set a benchmark for the season, and get an idea of my max HR.
