Wow, it looks so nice. I really like the area over your t.v. I bet the hammock is great to relax in.

Hey there!
Well, I had my 1st Marathon on 8th November, here, in Athens, Greece. During the race I was feeling exhilarated, smiling at every spectator on the route, although I was having serious diarrhea problems I had to deal with! Eventually, I managed to cross the finish line, together with my good mood…!
Since then, almost 2 weeks now, my mood is going from bad to worst… The only thing I do is go to work, which unfortunately is obligatory. When I go back home, I just sit on the sofa, eating chocolate mainly and watching tv. Every time I look at my finisher medal, I wonder how on earth did I manage to do that thing… I have completely forgotten my strong will and excellent stamina of those days.. it seems so distant!
This morning I thought of the Google search machine and I came across numerous articles on the matter. Ok, it made me feel better and all thoughts like “Why do I feel like this, I was supposed to be happy and content after this…” seem less odd. Also, I’ve read all the reccommended actions I should take from now on, “Set new goals, Eat healthy, Go out with friends, etc” BUT what about if I don’t want to do any of these?
I don’t know… it just looks so vain…

I ran my first full marathon on 10/25. It was an incredibly positive experience from start to finish. I loved it. I also have been really bluesy since that day. The first week wasn’t that bad because I had tweaked my knee during the run and I just couldn’t get out and run even if I had wanted. By day seven, though, I really felt like crap… rudderless, lacking direction, losing focus and gaining weight. I have had a horrendous headache and an infection since the race that has exacerbated my mindset and will be heading to the doctor today to see what he says. It’s day 15 and I’ve now missed five days of work. ugh.

I hope you find relief.

If it makes you feel better, you should buy one. Maybe keep one in your glove box and one in Collin’s glovebox, just for your peace of mind.

10/11/09 in Chicago was my first one, too, and I’m feeling the same way.

I don’t think you NEED a SLR for a trip. In fact, although I love mine it is really big and kind of burdensome. I think for a overseas trip a nice p&s would be just fine.

A good friend of mine got the canon powershot and loves it. Any new p&s should be able to give you nice pictures if you read up on it a bit. Good luck!

oh yeah. I was majorly down after my first full. So what did I do? Sign up for a half in the spring and another full in the fall. It worked for me, I swear!
