1. 11/22/63 - This weekend marks the 50th anniversary of the JFK Assassination. Over the last week, tons of specials have aired shedding light on the conspiracy theory and everyone is coming out of the woodwork to talk about what happened on that day. I've always had a fascination with the JFK Assassination and am reading/watching/listening to everything talking about it right now. Earlier this year, the Newseum launched an exhibit on JFK and I've been to it twice...and am planning to bring my mom their next week when she's in town.
This time last year, I read Stephen King's latest book on the subject, 11/22/63, about a man who goes back in time to stop the assassination. While obviously fiction, the book was heavily based on fact and was really interesting. Last night, The Pilot and I watched the National Geographic film, Killing Kennedy, which provided interesting insight into Lee Harvey Oswald, but otherwise wasn't very well done. Either way, I'm excited to curl up this weekend and keep reading/watching all of the things about Kennedy.
2. Knee Update - For a blog that is primarily about running, I sure haven't talked much about well, running since my decision to withdraw from the Marine Corps Marathon. I finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed with tendinitis with a prescription for an anti-inflammatory and 4 weeks of PT. This is exactly what I wanted. I don't have any race plans in the near future (not until March or April) so I'm hoping that this will help me get better and get in prime shape to tackle my next 26.2 because damn it, that sub-4 elephant on my back is really weighing me down.
3. DC Living - The Pilot and I renewed the lease on our apartment for another year and I'm ecstatic. You guys, this is officially the longest I have lived in one place since 2010. Seriously, I've moved almost twice a year since then. With all of the turmoil over my job situation this year, I'm excited to start a new job and live in one place and actually have some stability in my life. Oh hey and this means that I should probably start organizing things in my apartment that were haphazardly thrown around after we moved. I would like someone to give me money in the form of Container Store gift cards to organize all the things. Please and thank you. Maybe then I'll actually get around to posting a tour of our apartment...like I said I would do...in January.
That's that! Happy Thursday friends!
Tell Me: Are you just as fascinated by the JFK coverage as I am? I read an article that said that America is still recovering from the JFK assassination and I think it might be true. It's just all so interesting.
Have you ever had tendinitis? Did PT help you? Am I realistically looking at being able to run a spring half/summer full?

I listened to 11/22/63 as an audiobook on a long road trip last year, and I agree - soooo interesting! Also, The Container Store rocks. Nice choice!
ReplyDeleteBe smart and I'm sure you will have an awesome comeback!
ReplyDeleteUgh, tendinitis sucks majorly. I've got that bad in both knees but have never really been to a doctor because when I run it doesn't bother me, it's always after. I really should get it checked, but I don't know what more they'll do for me. It really is painful lately to put pressure on them when I sit or stand....yeah....probably should head to the doc lol.
ReplyDeleteI always love hearing the conspiracy things behind JFK and I'm sure I'll be watching more about it tomorrow!! I don't think I've ever been to the Newseum, maybe I have but I haven't been there since 2005 so I don't know if it was there then. Maybe I'll have to stop by there in April ;)
