Sad 10K News

For those of you who were interested, I'm disappointed to announce that though I was able to raise more than enough money (which will all still be going to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society) I've decided not to run in the race on the 27th. I've been training really hard, but for the past two weeks I've been having frequent pains in my left hip, thigh, and knee. I haven't run all week and the pain has persisted. I don't have time to find a doctor and make an appointment right now so I decided its probably best to stay off the track until I can get the issue checked out. Hopefully I can get the issue resolved soon since I wont have to worry about work for much longer.

I just figured I'd mention it.

I have snow pics too!



Last night during the snow storm my store closed two hours early so I was thankfully able to make it home before the hill iced over...but at this point NO ONE is able to leave my neighborhood. Not only is the parking lot a frozen block of ice, but we live at the bottom of the steepest hill around. Last time there was ice police had to block off our entire road because so many people were getting in accidents trying to get home or to leave.




My roomies made a snow man!

Snow In Atlanta

Just a dusting compared to what much of the country has been enduring, but still a rare event here in Atlanta.

You can see by these pictures just how empty the park was! This was well into the morning, after we rode several rides.

Check this news story, TODAY when i got out of class a Tech grad student (or former grad student) stabbed a post-doc with A SWORD! It was in the Weber building so i didn't see it, thank goodness, but some students did.



Scary!
