I think I’ll remember my own LIFE

I keep reading all these awesome race reports that people had over the weekend…and I’m so jealous!  I want a great race report to write.  Hell, I’d even settle for a great run to write about.  But I got nothing.

I slept ALL day Saturday (um…seriously…I figured out I was awake for a grand total of SIX hours of the day on Saturday).  Of course, then I couldn’t sleep Sunday night…but whatever. 

Of the six hours I was awke on Saturday…there was no running involved.  I’m not sure there was much of ANYTHING involved.  Although I did finish knitting the ugly hat (and it’s really ugly).  I’ll try and post pictures later.  I’m too lazy to go out to the car and get it or my camera.  I also watched most of the first two Bourne movies again (oh how I love those movies). 

Sunday was a little better.  I went for a run, but didn’t do very well.  And my excuse is HORRIBLE!  Seriously.  I’m laughing at how pathetic I am.  I don’t own any running pants or capris that actually fit.  They’re all either way too big and I spend the majority of my run pulling them up to avoid mooning people (although…thinking about that further…maybe the jerks in the park DESERVE to be mooned).  It’s also really hard to run like that.  Unfortunately, the other two pairs of my capris are still a little too tight.  I went with the slightly tighter pair hoping they would stretch out as I wore them.

Sadly, they didn’t.  And…seriously…running in them was a BAD idea.     They just pressed at the wrong spot on my stomach and I had all sorts of interesting GI issues.  So…I cut that run short to go out and buy two new pairs of capris that actually fit!!!!  I’m hoping to hold off on longer running pants for at least another month. 

I planned to go running today, but I ended up having to stay until 5, and by the time I got home and ready to run…it was too dark to go to the park, and there’s not really any place to run around here unless I want to run on the highway (and I don’t). 

Unfortunately, I have another late-ish night tomorrow night, so I think I’m going to just bring my running clothes with me to work and either dodge traffic again on the road outside work, or go running over by my friend’s house in her neighborhood. 

I finally am knitting again too.  I am currently making a pattern for a pair of gloves.  We’ll see how they turn out before I decide if that’s a good thing or not. 

And…if anyone wants any new winter accessories (gloves, hats, scarves, etc) let me know.  I’m feeling the urge to knit things like that right now (giving the socks a little break). 

Oh yeah, and open invitation to anyone who wants to run a 5k in Wilmington, DE on Thanksgiving Day (I’m looking at you family members).  I thought it would be a fun thing for everyone to do that morning.  L - if you’re not up north you could bring little J and H (it’s a stroller friendly race) and I’m still trying to convince J and the parents.  Come on…I know you all want to do it

So randomness over.  Have a lovely week!
