confessions, conjectures & coffee.

thoughts while running.

  • “I wonder why that guy parks his SUV in the garage and makes his wife park outside on the street?”
  • “Is my iPod going to break from bouncing around my jacket pocket?”
  • “What’s that shape up ahead? Is it dangerous? Crap. I should’ve worn my glasses out here.”
  • “I’d never make my wife park her car on the street.”
  • “oh good…it’s just a mailbox.”
  • “Why is that dog running around loose?”
  • “It would be so cool if I got Nike+iPod stuff for Christmas.”
  • “Maybe I should train for Chicago next fall.”
  • “I hope that dog doesn’t have rabies.”
  • “Why can’t I seem to get along with my boss?”
  • “Did I lock the house before I left? Did I drop my key somewhere?”
  • “Maybe tomorrow I won’t listen to these sermons during a run anymore.”
  • “I’m practically supporting the weight of a small car on my legs …I have got to slim down.”
  • “The final stretch…finish strong.”

And that was only for three miles. I’m going to take a mulligan on last week and just update the miles for this week. Another slow, easy week, but a little more consistent. I’m on a slow incremental distance training plan, where I start out small a couple days a week, then double my daily distance for a long run on Saturday. So next week should be a little farther.

  1. Ha. This is so true. If only people could read my thoughts while I’m running. Absolutely no order or sense to them. At least they make for an entertaining blog. I’m a fan - from a fellow distance runner/blogger/running blogger/ and can’t help but add a dose of life and faith to everything she writes…grinnbearit.wordpress.com
