There are big doings in the 21stCentury Household - big doings! Very exciting stuff but I am awaiting some photos before I reveal what they are - stay tuned.

I know you are waiting for more news of my trip to Peru. The most news I have right now is that after traveling for 26 hours to get home I got sick. I hab a code in mah het. I feel like crap. I ran the 3 worst miles of my life last night. Here I hoped that trekking up the stairs of Inca ruins

and
climbing mountains at altitude

would be sufficient training for my 1/2 marathon on Sunday. HA! I can hardly breath.

that sign says Waynapicchu 2634 m (8642 ft)

I will probably walk this thing with a little jogging in between unless my lungs miraculously clear up. To be honest, I'm in it for the bling so I don't really care. Sort of. If I were feeling well and were trained I'd like to do it in 2:15 but as it is I don't think so. Oh well. That's not as bad as my friend Juls from Keeping Pace who was hoping to smoke this thin in preparation for the CIM where she is attempting a BQ, or was attempting a BQ - until she tore a tendon or something. Bummer Juls. We'll just have to keep each other company.

In other news - Peruvian misquito bites itch just as much as Norte Americano bites. Bottled water in Peru is not clear, crips spring water - it is distilled, purified bad water with some salts tossed in and it tastes tedious and flat, altitude sickness is awful. More later.
