i guess its spring, i didnt know, its always 75 with no melting snow...

wow.

its march.

i havent blogged since july.

this is just plain embarrassing.

i noticed this while my good buddy nicole linked me in her wonderful blog.

"nicole has another friend maria? who runs? and has a blog?"

oh. thats me. and i've been incredibly remiss about blogging.

so if anyone still has the link to this blog in their google reader - my humble apologies. its been a crazy few months.

to summarize my life since july -

-i moved two more times (within SF)
-i sprained my ankle
-i started seeing a trainer
-i became obsessed with kickboxing
-i am apparently incapable of running more than 4 miles at a time
-i am eating crazy healthy (yay san francisco! yay CSA!)
-i went on an incomprehensible number of AWFUL dates
-i watched all 5 seasons of LOST in 1 month
-i started cooking. a lot. for myself. and anyone i can coerce into coming over

i think that gives you a good idea of what i have been up to.

but there is not enough running on that list. i think back to when i was running a lot, and it was awesome. i live in a gorgeous city that has a rockin running culture - and i so have not be taking advantage of it. so maybe blogging more will get me back into it? we will see.

its also incredibly likely that this will become a music blog. which is something you should consider getting really excited about. because i have really been getting into the concert scene here, and i've met some people who are really plugged into the music scene. they are lucky enough to be going to SXSW, so upon their return i am sure i will have lots to share with you.

but until then.....

listen to some midlake. they are so incredible. dont run to them - put them on when you are day dreaming about camping. or when you are doing the dishes. or when you are laying around all hungover like reading magazines. this is what i do. i saw them play a show at great american music hall two weeks ago and it was the most magical evening i have had in months.

and my oh my do they have the sexiest beards around.
