Rookie on the Run

Duck!! Here come the bullets! Bullet points, that is... The Good I had a wonderful run this morning It was very chilly out (33 degrees) when I ran I got my Garmin 305 today!! I start my new job as a preschool teacher tomorrow I survived three hours of "Job Safety, Chemical Hazards, and Sexual Harassment" videos as part of my job orientation I used an hour of that time to stretch my muscles (I had a big, carpeted room all to myself) I ordered a new pair of Saucony running shoes from Online Shoes * The Bad I ate horribly today! It was still dark out when I set off on my run I did something funky to my hip muscle and it hurts I thought I was running three miles this morning but it was really only 2.5 (but now that I have my Garmin, there should be no more mileage surprises) The Smelly One nice thing about running early in the morning are the smells. The fresh, crisp air this morning accentuated the smell the California Sage Brush, the smell of manure from the small neighborho...

In my previous blog ... the revised version... I wrote about a runner who carelessly tossed their half-full cup of Cytomax right next to my feet. As a result, I ended up with a wet, yucky shoe for part of the San Diego Rock 'n' Roll Marathon. Since lots of us rely on visuals to fully comprehend a point, I sketched out the whole incident for you. Note the lack of about 19,998 other runners... that's because I have a life. In spite of many missing details, I hope this helps to clarify my point. If you happen to recognize the runner who Cytomaxed me, please let her know that I have no hard feelings toward her. Even though I refer to her as "Evil Runner". And gave her bad hair. And fangs (which are easier to see if you click on the picture). Copies of the above masterpiece are available for sale. All proceeds will be donated to the purchase of extra trash bins for next year's Rock 'n' Roll Marathon.
