No Music

After a crappy drive home and a less than stellar day I left for a quick run last night.

Got out the door, key safely tied on shoe, turn on ipod.......NOTHING. That sucker was DEAD. No juice left at all.

So I ran sans music - surprisingly I was ok - but I only did about 3.5 miles, there is no way I could do 10 on the trail with nothing, I think I would have to sing to myself, which could be interesting for everyone.

On the brightside I've found my Garmin is much more agreeable if I place it on the porch while I'm stretching. And now that I've said this it's going to curse me, we'll see how tonight goes.

Don't worry I charged that sucker up last night, I'll have plenty of music.

Boston Baby!

I'm all signed up! As of Wed as approximately 7:58AM I was officially signed up and given a Submission ID # soooooooooo now we wait while they verify my time and hopefully in 4 weeks I will get an email that says - you rock, welcome to Boston!

I don't see any reason why I wouldn't get this - BUT - I will wait patiently none the less.

I've been running here and there - nothing too serious just yet. I did the "virtual" Nike Human race with my SIL Lisa and we rocked it. It was crazy hot, I had no water, and I drank a boatload the night before, but we still kicked some butt. And also I picked the worst route ever, there were almost NO TREES, poor Lisa must have been thinking I was a moron. But it was so fun to run with someone again and someone who loves running like me!!! Hopefully she'll be racing again next summer and we can do something together!

On the homefront there is a problem.

Every morning this week I have encountered a 'pede in the bathroom. Tue and Wed I got those suckers. This morning the loser hung out underneath the cabinet like a scardy-'pede. If you know me, I LOATHE 'pedes, I loathe most things insect, but 'pedes are the worst. So when I got home tonight I was on 'pede radar and I got that sucker good! I was on the phone, saw him racing across the family room, screamed some expletives, dropped my cell phone mid-call and stomped the crap out of him. I am not happy. One 'pede a day.....what if this multiplies to two....seriously get the crap out of my house. Or at least do me the curtesy of showing up around Dave so he can kill you.

So this is war.......and I plan on winning.
