Yum & Yuk

NYTimes love for the beautiful (and much loved by me) Humboldt County.

I finished The Hunger Games and enjoyed the whole thing. The second volume of the series is waiting for me at the library, and, even though it's gotten mixed reviews, I'm really looking forward to it.

Training: I ran my longest distance yet yesterday - 16 miles. It was painful and cold but I made it. Today I swam for 30 min at the gym (my max so far), and I'm heading to Bikram in a few hours.

"Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That's part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads - at least that's where I imagine it - there's a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll live forever in your own private library." - Haruki Murakami
