- visit "the" city for some shopping (window), gambling at the casino ($1.00 Cdn), fine dinning (carbo loading for Sunday's race) and a play at the theatre (pick up acting tips, or maybe an actor).
- do laundry because I officially have no clean [insert name of clothing item here]
- clean house so it no longer resembles home of the Lost Boys from Peter Pan
- [finally] get a good night sleep
- run 5km race with Suzie on Sunday without "hospital incident"
- try to concentrate on running race and not staring at muscular touchable butts of male runners in front of me
- bake chocolate chip cookies
- spend time with Dad
I have a feeling there'll be a few post ideas being "developed" this weekend.

no, no. staring at the touchable butts (female in my case) is what gets you through the race.
Sean: I was able to maintain non-butt focus through the whole race! Maybe I'll try your method on the next one :)
erika. i've found that the staring makes me a) forget my pain and boredome and b) makes me run faster than i normally would if it's shapely enough and just a tad faster than my normal snail-like pace.
how'd you do?
Oh you crazy guys! What will you think of next.
I did fan-****-ing-tastic! (thanks for asking :) I finished the 5k in 28 minutes and 36 seconds, #57 out of 151 runners in that distance category. Now if I could just find a guy to run with and provide that extra bit of motivation...
my problem with running now is boredom. i did okay this last week because i was the senior guy and i took a crew of guys out to nc. so a) i felt good to be older than almost all of them and to finish the runs in the top half and b) i was so busy "motivating" their slow asses that i didn't have time to be bored. but this week i'm home and running by myself and i'm bored. i'd much rather watch t.v. for an hour than run by myself...
Really? I love running by myself. It's one of the few times I can clear my head and think "me" thoughts. Plus, I like to focus on my breathing so run more efficently and last longer. No MP3 player for me.
Do tell, how did you motivate their slow asses? :)
