Coming up this Saturday is the Madison Mini-Marathon and I don’t know which shoes I should wear. I did my long run this week at the Pettit Center and I did NOT run a 4:30 minute mile. I walk the dogs, take the kid to summer camp and go see the last Harry Potter movie. I might have taken a nap during the movie, you’ll have to listen to find out.

Happy running!

  • Diagnosis: Bronchitis.
  • I’m on a ventolin inhaler, a five day azithromycin anitobiotic, and five days of prednisone.
  • I think my doctor said I should be feeling better in 2-3 weeks.
  • I’m hoping it’s the sooner rather than the later because the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon is only 6-1/2 weeks away.
  • About the TMJ situation, I think I’m getting a night guard (still waiting to see if insurance will approve it).
  • I’ve been to physical therapy twice and it’s really very nice.
  • I actually fell asleep the last time I was there, but completely denied it when she woke me up.
  • The setting: laying on a table, a pillow under your head, someone to massage your jawbone and neck, the lights are dim, ultrasound therapy on each side, and then having your neck and jaw wrapped in a hot compress for 15 minutes.
  • You’d totally fall asleep too.
  • I burned through all four seasons of Prison Break and I loved every minute of it.
  • Well, maybe not season three all that much, but it carried the story along.
  • Season four was A.MAZ.ING. AMAZING!!!!
  • And I cried like a baby for the last two episodes. (and then I cried again when I tried to explain to my husband how the series ended)

I’ve thought about it and I can’t come up with anything better. So I’m just going to have to blurt it out.

    ON SATURDAY I WAS IN CHICAGO WITH MY VERY BEST FRIEND AND WE WERE IN BANANA REPUBLIC AND I MET TOM HANKS!!

    See?

    I couldn’t have casually told a story of how we were at Water Tower, and then went to Bloomingdales, and then went to lunch on the 95th floor of the John Hancock Building, and then went BACK to Bloomingdales, and then we decided to go to the Adidas store at Water Tower but at the last minute my very best friend suggested we go into Banana Republic and then I got lost in a pile of sweaters. And then I found out they were men’s sweaters. So then I was directed to the back of the store where the women’s sweaters are.

    And then my very best friend was all: Kim. Kim. KIM. KIM. KIM. KIIIIIMMMMM!

    And was all: What?

    And then she talked to me with her jaw clenched shut and didn’t move her lips the entire time. I could not understand a word she was saying.

    Me: What?

    Her: Tomhanksandritawilsonareinthestore.

    Me: Are you kidding me?

    Her: Tomhanksandritawilsonareinthestore.

    And then I dropped my piles of sweaters and scurried over to the register area.

    HOLY COW. She was not kidding me! There was Tom Hanks, leaning up against the counter, while Rita Wilson was busy looking for something – I think. We wandered over to a table and had a fake conversation about a sweater. I think I may have picked up a hat and tried it on my hand. It was so lame.

    Me: Do you think I should talk to him?

    Her: No way. Leave him alone.

    Okay.

    And then what did I do? I moved out of the way so Rita could get around me and then made a beeline to Mr. Hanks.

    No one else in the store seemed to even notice that an Oscar winning actor was in the store! Therefore, I felt that I should at the very least respect his privacy and not say something like: Mr. Hanks! Lovely to meet you! I’m a HUGE fan!!! Can I get a picture? Autograph? Loved you in at least a zillion movies! So …. Coco hey?

    Instead I said, “Excuse me, I loved you on Conan!”

    He laughed.

    And then I went back to my sweater pile.
