10 days

I can't believe it’s been THAT long since I have updated my blog! Life has been busy. You know its crazy when you haven't checked out Facebook (heaven forbid) in 72 hours or updated your blog in 10 days or even Trainingpeaks for that matter since Monday.

Yesterday I made my friend Jordan do my 45-minute easy run with me. We run a similar route most times we run together and he proceeded to tell me this time that the 2 mile incline was just TOO much of a hill for him now- I laughed and told him I would drop him like a bad habit next time he said that to me ( I am a lovely friend). He recovered from that quickly (he is used to it by now) and we just got back into a nice conversation when he saw a SNAKE. That boy ran so fast screaming like a little girl I had to stop running to keep from peeing in my pants! I was standing there right next to the snake laughing as he was yelling at me to "HURRY UP, HURRY UP, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!? IT’S GOING TO EAT YOU!!!" What is scary is Jordan was serious – it was just a little bull snake. Oh yeah and did I mention this was an out and back run we, so we had to turn around after he calmed down and head back past the SNAKE. Jordan couldn't figure out which side of the road was safer to run on because now that he saw one snake there could be more lurking in the brush.

While we were running back near where we saw the snake and Jordan was getting his panties in a twist, I saw a truly horrifying thing. A big man in LITTLE shorts. I wanted to pull out a stick of bodyglide and give it to him as his thighs were rubbing together I swear sparks were flying out of his shorts. The man must have needed XL MEN's shorts and was wearing what I imagine a M WOMEN's split shorts. WOOHEE that was more than my eyes could handle!!!

On to the training front all things are looking good. I am on to something as far as my side stitches during races are going. I just need another race before my next big one to try out my theory. But looks like my next big one is going to be the test pilot - oh well, I have plenty of racing years left to get things right.

I haven't mentioned work in a while on my blog, but I am happy to say that things seem to be moving in the right direction. I still don't know what I want to do with my life, but I don't think it’s reasonable to believe I should know. They (my bosses) are using me as a guinea pig and allowing me to show them what I can do. So far I have gotten rave reviews and I feel as though there is SOO SOO much more to be done.

Speaking of work… I should get back to it!
