10/02-10/13:Still Running and Life is Still Nuts

OK, Life is still NUTS. I am glad that I got all of my runs in, but blogging just ain't been happening. I did make it to Fripp Island for our yearly celebration with friends which includes celebrating my birthday. Early, true, but fun none the less. I took first place in the 5K. That's right, first place in the race. I didn't know how to break the tape (it was thick plastic; it was not going to break). I didn't know what I was supposed to do. Should I run hard through it, put on just a little pressure, and fly through. I ended up simply stopping after the race directors said "stop you are going to hurt yourself".

The rest of the weekend continued to be a blast and it was incredible fun to be with friends while they provided festivities and best wishes for my 50th year on the planet. They sang to me during the Trolley Pub Crawl. Other people passed on the word and groups just started songs too. One friendly fellow made me drink a shot of Jack Daniels from his bottle. It was lots of fun. I stayed in control and still managed to get my 10.5 mile run in the the next day.

I have listened several Daily Source Codes, Accident Hashes, and Phedippidations. They are still my favorite podcasts and keep me company during my runs. Tomorrow is the Phedippidations Worldwide Half-Marathon and I will be running it. Judy will not be joining me. She is still pacing around the southeast with her new boyfriend. I am so pleased for her despite missing her companionship during my Sunday long runs. I hope I can get control of my schedule to do a better job of logging my runs and thoughts daily. It is too difficult to cover so much time in one burst and really do any justice to what's in my head, not that I am that verbose in general anyway.
