Long runs and tractors

I was very tempted to leak out on my long run today. It was forecasted to be -7 and Friday's run in similar temperatures seemed down right nasty. I really didn't want to repeat it, especially for 1.45 hours. But I stuck it out. Mainly because I knew if I didn't I would get endless you-know-what from Mike. Of course, he rewarded me with the comment, "I hope more people start running the long runs soon". A not so subtle way of telling me that I was not good enough. It was ALMOST as bad as Christy's comment, "Wade is Way, WAY older than me". Note to readers, Wade is a year YOUNGER than me. AND she didn't seem a bit remorseful when I pointed this out to her!

And here I am rewarding Mike by fulfilling his request that I include in my post the video "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy". For you non-spartans, this video is dedicated to the running love duo of Christy and Bryan. Bryan recently bought a SECOND tractor for his land. Apparently, his first tractor was somehow not good enough in the way that only a guy who loves his tractors can understand. His wife Christy is not one of those guys. He tried to pass it off as thinking of her..... now they would have his and hers tractors. Now, for those of you who are not Wisconsinites, let me be clear that it is NOT every female cheesehead's dream to have her own tractor. Yes, we might be the Dairy State, but that is only in the minds of male politicians. The women politicians have better things to spend their time on.

It is only in BRYAN's fantastical mind that Christy is thinking the following when she sees him when he is driving is tractor:

She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always starin' at me
While I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy.

I think Christy's response would be "Oh Boy!" and not in a supportive way!
