Random topics. First off, read Annabelle's post on why Running is HARD. Great read and much better supported by training events that my daily musings and debauchery.
And one thing I'm taking with me from this training, aside from follow your training plan and don't hurt yourself like I did, is that your body is capable of amazing things. The things motivation does for you, gets you out of bed.. before 3:30am just to run at 4:00am. Why? because you can. Because you are bad ass.. Because you owned the paths before most people every took a morning piss. Don't think you could do it?
This is also how tired I look by the time my kid goes to bed. YOLO? (I think I used this gif before..)
Maggie, stop looking for more Ryan Reynolds GIFs, I will not give you what you are looking for

What is your running mantra?
Okay, I'll catch up blog reading soon!
Take care and Happy Friday Eve!
I also am wearing dress slacks with sneakers (Karhu's!) today1 Also, I just laughed so hard out loud that I spilled coffee on my freshly cloroxed desk (I'm a bit paranoid that here in my last day of work pre-marathon I'll catch a 3td plague). I was laughing at the shart gif. Because my co-worker saidto me the other day "maybe you should re-think the yellow shorts, just in case, you know, you have an accident".

ReplyDeleteMy running mantra: "don't blow your load in the first 3 miles" or "just fu$&ing GO" - the later when I'm hurting near the end of a race. :)
Okay I'm clueless...what's the last picture of? Is it a fetal pig you suggest bringing? Or an electric wheelchair??
ReplyDeleteWear brown shorts then?!! Finding suitable gifs is almost as hard as running!
ReplyDeleteonly if it is a strong sexy body, otherwise it is just capable of eating sausage right?
ReplyDeletehaha yes. Hopefully it is someone other than us!
ReplyDeletethis is what I'm paying for as I trusted a fart way more than I should of
ReplyDeleteFetal pig! Essential protein loading
