Cam-- I used to do coffee breaks in the middle of summer, middle of day in the absolute worse shape one could imagine! I figure my money is as good as the next guys. I do have a heart, though, I carried my money in a plastic bag so the poor coffee person didn't have to take sweat soaked dollars
As for the make up, etc.? Well soon you'll find yourself standing in a busy store, stockpiling energy bars and well... realize "your not one of them"
Also, now that you are addicted to
Scooter, here's one that is currently transporting me clear off the earth: "One (always hard core)", when he gets to the chorus
"One world, one people, one music - one MC
Yea-ea-ea-ah, yea-ea, I feel hardcore
Yea-ea-ea-ah, yea-ea, always hardcore,..." My feet leave the ground just like a plane taking flight
The other new favorite of mine is: Suavemente-- its kind of a salsa, techno thing going on.
Wow, I'm feeling the need to download more Scooter..
Another similar artist I like is Jan Wayne.
I might add, I had no interest in techno before DD and Helen worked on me
Onto the news:
11/11 11:11 11K Veteran's Memorial Race (only one of its kind)
It was beautiful. Very emotional. I didn't see posted results, they didn't use chips. But the clock as I crossed said 1:00:57 and my watch said 1:00:55. As for Garmin, it was dead on for the first 3 mile markers. Then mile 4 was off (Garmine finished mile 4 early) by 132 ft, then mile 5 was off by 156 ft, then I lost track, but at the end Garmin reported 6.9 miles (versus 6.875) and claimed 1:00:49. Not bad! So according to Gramin I averaged 8:48, I'm pretty sure my results will be 8:51. I'm happy with it
Any much more importantly, I was happy to be out running! Phew, I think I better start showering the IC with flowers or something to keep her around 'till race day
Other news: I signed up for the Holiday Challenge at my gym. You weigh in this week and pay $10. Then you weigh each week through the week of Jan 2. If you don't gain more than 3 lbs you get your $10 back. The one who loses the most wins the pot. Too bad they didn't do it last year, I would have won the pot hands down. But this year I'll be lucky to get my ten back...
The problem with short races is I feel like I really worked out hard and then deserve to eat hard
The post-race food was minimal, I had one slice of pizza, but then I went out with Dx and had French Toast. Oops.
