My Googly Valentine (updated)

So Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and I've never celebrated this holiday before beyond the mandated times in elementary school... until now. Yeah, I know, so pitiful, but better late than never, I guess.

Last night, I came home from job #2 and baked a giant heart-shaped macaroon and surrounded it with "normal" ones and snuck them into his cubicle with a note. Additionally, I trashed the place by sticking a bunch of cut-out hearts around the computer monitor(s), hard hat, and cubicle walls.

(See picture below. I did not get a good picture of the macaroon heart, as it was hidden under a paper one. Darn my poor photography skills! I posted a picture of an accidentally heart-shaped oatmeal cookie instead.)

Finally, I took some of his post-its to make weird remarks to things he already had on his desk.
I mostly did this to embarrass him, as he shares a mega-cubicle with three (male) co-workers that I've met before. One of them ended up calling me to poke fun. Plus, I was discouraged from having to do any "work" on Valentine's Day, as this is also *his* first one and wanted to make it his responsibility to make it fun. I'm sure no matter what we do, it will be fun, as I haven't been able to see much of him at all since I started school again three weeks ago.

How does this fit into a running blog? I'm not sure, but I since I met *him* in the gym, I think my running was what led to everything else.

Original Post: 3/10/11 Sunday, March 20 2011, the day I will run LA Marathon for the 4th time (and embark on my 8th 26.2 journey overall), will also be very special because it will mark the 5th year since I did my FIRST training run with the intention of running a marathon.  (Check out that life-changing post HERE ). Yep, on March 20, 2006, I went to the track and ran my first 3.25 miles with the dreams of marathon glory (or even half-marathon glory). I think it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.  I was a sprint/track

StyleScience Airfoil Sunglasses

Much too long after the death of my last pair of sunglasses, I managed to get my hands on another pair. This one comes from CVS/pharmacy. I figured that since a more expensive pair blew out on me, why not a drugstore one? So after going to speciality stores, I came upon this one that looks and feels good... StyleScience's Airfoil. I didn't notice until later that this is meant for men, but my large head circumference called for it, I think. Anyway, I like that the sides have some ventilation (via a large triangular hole). I hope not to break this one...

Sharkies Prize Pack (giveaway)

It's giveaway time! On a long run recently, I took a couple packs of Sharkies Organic Sports Chews  with me to keep me going on a hot day.  I got through those 15 miles  eating these, versus normal gels.  I've been opting to eat chews over gels in my running nowadays because I just find them more palatable and easier on my stomach for some reason.  Plus, they do pack a few more calories, which is a good thing in this case. I normally associate cute little chews with candy, but these actually contain natural electrolytes.  Plus, they were light to carry and very tasty, too!  Each pack is about 140 calories.  The only downside I found to the sport chews is that they stuck to my teeth a tiny bit more than my normal choices, and the packaging gave me a fight at times.  This could easily be solved by conslidating them into a baggie pre-run, or eating them BEFORE running would be much easier than during. Want to win the prize pack below?  It comes with these Sport Chews, a neat
