sultanahmet diaries

beware the ides of march....

woke up early this morning (early means 8:30am) and attempted a
run with hulusi down by the sea. i was crabby and haven't been on the
fitness bandwagon since moving here, so my "run" was more like an
"attempt to move faster than usual." ugh. so between my crabiness,
hulusi's disbelief that i was actually tired, and the creepy fog, it was
not a good time. arghhhhhhhhhhhhh.

came back to discover that there was no water.... hmm.... we're not sure
why, exactly, but i'm hoping it comes back on before i have to go to
work! i don't want to be known as the stinky teacher who can't run. :(

the good news is: i bought an exercise ball (aka stability ball) and a yoga
mat! i had been on a quest to locate these items in istanbul and hulusi
and i found them in a store near sultanahmet, in eminonu. the guys all
think the stability ball is just a large, fun soccer ball, but when i showed
hulusi how to do some exercises with it, all he could say was, "wow.....
this is good!"

meeting with an american girl from SF on thursday about a possible
roommate situation in cihangir. could be good.
