Reason 127
Last night we ran the 3.35 mile loop, which I did in just under an 11:45/mile pace. It was tough because of the humidity. For me, running faster than I am comfortable with often gives me the sensation that I need to poo. This is probably reason 127 that I don’t like to run “fast,” but who’s counting. I would like to run fast on Sunday at the Mother’s Day race, but it’s going to be weather-dependent. Too humid=slow.
Yesterday as I was coming back from lunch, I darted into an elevator and discovered that there was a guy already in there waiting for the doors to close. Another one came in after me. As the doors closed, I remembered my grandmother saying, “if you are downstairs and you want to come up and there is a man in the elevator, you should let him go and wait for the next one.” I wonder what about these men made me remember this advice…I was a little apprehensive until we got to my floor.
Tomorrow, I am taking a day off from running so I can sleep in and get my head together. Woo Hoo!!! I am VERY excited.

And how awesome was Survivor last night? (P.S. sleeping in is good; be sure to sleep some for me!)

It was fantastic! That poor boy…where’s he from? He is not very bright–must have been dropped on his head.

Sleep is lovely. Enjoy your no-running day!

I cannot wait for the jury portion of this season, where they all bitch and moan about how everyone lied and cheated and hurt their feelings, esp if Parvati’s one of the top two. Sweetest mother’s day gift EVER!

My body doesn’t like it either when I run fast. Your 127 is # 45 on my list though.

Penny, good to know that I’m not alone in that!

Yay for not running! I’ll be chauffeuring AJ around all day, so I’m looking forward to the sleep and rest on Sunday. It’s Mother’s Day, whcih means I’m guaranteed to get it too.
