Well, it did stop raining around 3ish (v.v.kewl) however, I was still playing Battlefield 2 until abuot 3:30PM, so I totally missed my training for a run! So I did a 20-minute Pilates session instead. I guess it's not too bad; I really needed 3 to 4 miles today, though.

I signed up to be Pace Leader for Nike's Run Hit Wonder 10K race this weekend. I better be in shape by then! LOL.

On another note, R.I.P. Simon Weisenthal.

Summer ends in 2 days…
Only 95 days 'til Christmas!

I woke up this morning (after going to bed around 3:30AM >.<) to the sound of thunder. It wasn't that loud, but it was the multiple thunder roars -- one after the other. Oddly enough, it just started really pouring right now.

Normally, I'd be happy for the rain; rain means snow up at the mountains and snow means more snowboarding for me. However, it's only late-September and I doubt there's any snow at Mammoth Mountain, much less the local mountains.

I'm hoping that it'll rain until, say, 3:00PM this afternoon, so that I can still do my training run and then work in the evening (Nike). Of course, I can run in the rain as I did last year, too… Here's to wishful thinking!

The first time I tasted Diet Coke, it was awful. I don't even remember when I first had it, but I remembered the bad aftertaste. So, here I am today and guess what I'm sipping? Yep, Diet Coke. My mum hadn't finished her 24-pack of DC before going back home to Italy, so instead of this soda going to waste, I decided to have a can here and there. Much to my surprise, the taste has greatly improved… At least, there's no weird aftertaste anymore — that or my tongue has “matured”. ROFL.

Does this mean I'll be ordering Diet Coke from now on? Probably not. But at least I know I can drink that stuff now! Next step: Dr. Pepper.
