Alas, Monday again. I don’t mean to be such a downer about Mondays–but these past few weeks have been busy and full of long hours–and I don’t see this feeling ending any time soon. The good news is that I did have a lovely weekend–and there are always weekends on the horizon.

I ran a 5K on Saturday with my friend Hallie. We ran all the way around Roosevelt Island. It’s a funny little island–a lot of unattractive buildings–but the view of Manhattan was nice. I enjoyed see the city from a new angle. After the 5K, Hallie and I walked across a bridge and had brunch in Queens. Running is not something that comes naturally to me–so I was pretty proud of myself for running the whole way. Woot. Woot.
