Also, thanks for weighing in on the last post's questions. If you didn't, yet, there's still time! You'll totally win a prize for providing the best answer, too! (Not!)
A lot of bloggers get asked enough questions, that said bloggers can create entire posts dedicated to quenching their readers' thirst for knowledge about them and the life they lead. I don't really get asked any questions, specifically.
This fact will never lead me to believe my life is un-interesting, though. My readers are simply left reeling from the burst of excitement I inect, into their (your) days, with each and every
Imaginary Question #1: Haven't seen you around the interwebs, lately. Have you still been running? Yes. I've run in 81 degree afternoons and 40 degree mornings, all in the same week. (Florida weather's pretty interesting, huh?). I expertly avoided a PR in a 15k relay, this past weekend.
not a jump of excitement. The timing mat didn't register me the 1st (or 2nd) time across
I counted the 5k as my speedwork and threw in a couple, double-digit runs, too. Everything's been going well and I'm excited for my last few races of the season. I have another 5k, this weekend, that I get to run with some family members. Very awesome.
Next weekend, (wow. Is it really coming up that soon?!) I'm going to try to beat last year's time at this half marathon. I love the course, after party and family events there. The two bridge crossings are not real high on my "love" list, but they probably won't kill me.
I'll let you digest those two races for a couple days before we dive into the rest of my schedule.
Imaginary Question #2: Did you just stop typing up this post to peek through your blinds to watch your neighbors scream at each other? Yes. Yes I did. Lesson : Scream at your spouse inside your house. It's very likely your nosy neighbors are watching when you do it outside.
Imaginary Question #3: Do you often, silently curse your dad for giving you chronic Achilles tendinitis? If you're reading this and you ARE my dad, then the answer is no. Of course not. If, however, you happen to be anyone other than my dad, then yes. Yes I do. Out of all of his amazing attributes, he decided to pass on bad teeth and hopelessly weak tendons.
thanks a bunch, dad
There are countless other questions no one has asked me, that I feel the need to answer. For now, though, I have to continue to clean up Birthday Weekend 2013. The Oldest and Middlest's birthdays are one day apart, so the partying aftermath tends to look a little something like this:
They had fun and that's all that matters
Pretend I asked YOU a meaningful question and go ahead and answer it :
Why, yes. Of course.
ReplyDeleteI already knew that
DeleteI'm not envious to clean up that room! I loved #2. I totally watched my neighbors dig an odd hole in their backyard the other day...in January, in Pennsylvania and they weren't 'fixing' anything. Still curious about that one.
ReplyDeletehm.
DeleteIs your neighbor, by any chance, Kasey? (see below)
121 miles month to date...girl you are kicking butt! Keep it up:-)
ReplyDeletethanks! I've actually run 138!!
DeleteLOL at number 2..we allll do it, definitely.
ReplyDeletewhew. I feel much less guilty, now.
DeleteNo, I didn't get picked to be a juror, but I still had to sit in the court for four hours this morning thereby ruining today's run.
ReplyDeleteugh. That sucks.
DeleteI only had jury duty once, and got picked. Made the time less of a waste, I guess.
I always stop and stare when I hear the neighbors outside. Always. Sometimes they're happy, but other times I hear a couple F-bombs, especially when their dogs are pooping in our yard (we don't care, but our neighbor gets so mad at his dogs and always comes over and poop-scoops). But then again, I don't feel guilty watching them since they totally watched me dig what looked like a grave, but was actually my oddly-shaped garden. Isn't that part of being a good neighbor- being nosy?
ReplyDeleteI didn't even realize that was part of my Neighbor Job Description. Awesome!!
DeleteSince my tendons aren't pink-purple I can only conclude you got yours from mom. Also from the I Did Not Know This Dept: http://www.runnersworld.com/running-tips/ask-coaches-doctors-it-better-heel-strike-or-mid-foot-strike
ReplyDeleteHaha! Love this post. People have been NOT asking me all kinds of questions. Exhausting, isn't it? ;)
ReplyDeleteOh i have little ones with birthdays one day apart. It's like the longest week of my life. Did I mention it's 12 and 13 days before Christmas too? I really through that one through!
ReplyDeleteAre those lego's? My feet hurt looking at them.
ReplyDeleteYes, I did fall on the ice yesterday during Utah's epic ice storm. It closed down the airport causing me to be stuck at the hangar for 6 hours and when I could leave it tripped me. Now my neck and back hurt enough that I don't notice my PF.
Florida - I bet you froze to death in that 40 degrees!! Do you need to borrow my winter tech clothes?? hahaha
