On big days like Thanksgiving and Christmas, you squeeze in a morning run and end up burning more calories that day than you eat.- Your most expensive piece of 'jewelry' is your GPS watch.
- You turn down Friday night social invitations so you can be up bright and early for your long run on Saturday.
- When you get sick or injured, you act like an abandoned puppy until you're well enough to run again.
- You have lucky socks that you save for special runs and races.
- The best thing about time off work for Christmas is all that extra daylight running available to you.
However, time is getting tight and I won't be able to do as much total training as I would like. But hey, the last few miles of a marathon are supposed to be grim, aren't they? I'd hate to miss out on the full experience. :)

Whoo hoo, I was shaking my head from side to side as none of those questions relate to me, but I am totally inspired and whoop whooping for you. My xmas gifts were all camera related while hubbies were all running or ski-ing goodies, perhaps I can somehow combine the two (I can take great snaps of him in his new running thermals!) Seriously though you and the hubster have inspired me to add 'increase walking very fast to a run' to the top of my New Year Resolutions list. Well done you!!, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteHaha! My head was nodding up and down to all those questions--vigorously at the GPS/jewelry one! I'm so glad you are running LSDs again.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for always reading and responding to my posts! It's nice to know that someone out there is doing the same (crazy) things as I am. Good job on the 14er :)
So, my answers were all a big 'No,' but I'm totally inspired by you and if I could get rid of this knee pain I'd be attempting to run. So glad to hear your knee was OK during your run!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you commented on my blog so that I could find your blog! Alas, I'm not a runner but I've always hoped to become one! I've already added you to my google reader, I can't wait to see how your race goes! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGreat list!! I loved where you turn down social invitations because I do that all the time, and people do not understand!! :-)
