Marathon runners and maniac temperatures

This morning we headed out to watch the marathon. Luckily we brought our camping chairs, because even though we were just across the street it was still cold. It was really exciting when we saw Michelle in the distance and the excitement only mounted as she got closer. I had never seen someone I knew run in a marathon before. It was worth it to see the look on her face when she saw us with the sign. Later in the day someone posted a picture of her crossing the finish line in 5hr 50min. In that moment I felt so proud of her. We have only seen each other 3 times (two of which she was running by our townhouse complex) but I feel almost a deep kindred spirit with her.

I haven't felt well today. My temperature has been fluctuating, well, everything but my feet. Lately my feet feel like they just came out of the freezer. I also ate a lot of apple pie today.

We started watching the movie MacGruber because I'm a fan of the SNL skits. Unfortunately the movie is terrible. We got 21min into it and Amy was basically begging me to shut it off. Normally I'll stick with a terrible movie, but this time I turned it off right away. Which made me start wondering if I had a better tolerance for movies like that when I was younger. Probably.

Tomorrow we're off to Ikea to scope out some livingroom side tables and a bathroom mirror.
