Eating My Words

I was all psyched for this morning's blog. Mike had given me some great material. He had e-mailed me earlier in the week and said he would be joining Jenny and I at 6:00. When I replied back that we were planning on doing speed work, he quickly responded that he would go at 5:00 instead. What a wimp!

Well, this morning after saying hello/good-bye to the the 5:00 group, I saw Christy and Mike run by. As I patiently waited for Jenny and Kristi, the song 'Should I stay or Should I Go?"



At 6:05 I decided I better take my opportunity to run with someone while I still had it. So I ran to catch up with the Cousins, but had to call to them to stop. See! This is why I need to do speed work.

Of course the newbie, Kristi, was kind enough to send an e-mail explaining she had a stomach bug. Which left me wondering "Jenny, Jenny who can I turn to? But the phone number 867-5309 did not work!"

New Idea

My later start time has made it difficult to blog. Too much of a rush showering and getting out the door for summer school. However, tomorrow I will definitely blog since Mike has given me some nice material to work with.

Today I went to the dark side and joined the walkers. I am going to try and do this on my non running days. It was a nice morning to start this ritual, but don't worry, it won't replace my running.

I have found a new marathon idea for the group... taking a cruise in Alaska or Caribbean and run in each port for a total of 26.2 miles! Sweet! http://www.runningcruise.com/
