...start training for the marathon in Dec (week 1)?

After a short hiatus of 2 weeks, where I was under doctor's (I mean, sinseh's) orders to stay off running for two weeks (to cut a long story short, my knee was swollen after one whole night of walking around on heels), I am back to training for the marathon in Dec.

At the same time, the Straits Times published a training schedule for those who are training for their first marathon, so I'm using that as a guide.

... rediscover the joys of baking?

Life has been crazy good. Good because I'm happy and crazy because I haven't found the time to indulge in one of my favorite things on earth for ages! Today after Core Fusion, I decided to take a walk through Boston Commons (Boston Commons is so lovely this time of the year, with the prettiest flowers in full bloom.) to the Whole Foods at Charles River Plaza. I picked up some cherries and made a clafoutis with the apricots and mangoes I already had in the refrigerator. Work has been stressful of late but baking, and particularly the warm and sweet scent that emanates from the oven, always relaxes and cheers me up.

Now I'm just waiting for it to cool completely and for someone to return from NYC before we tuck into it!
