Sleep would be good
For some reason I'm a bit pissed off. I have no idea why, but I was in a bad mood this morning. Hopefully it'll wear off pretty soon.
I had a pretty hectic weekend. I did a 5 mile marathon pace run on Saturday. I was a bit reluctant to head out though because rain was coming down in buckets. I went out anyway and ran in the rain. The pace I'm hoping to run in the marathon is 7:00 min/mile. I managed to keep that pace on the track for 2 miles, but then I went out on the trail for 3. I don't think I was able to keep that pace for the time I was out on the trail but my workout intensity sure seemed like I was working at the same rate as I was on the track. Oh well it's only the first week, so no biggie.
Later that day I bought a new pair of running shoes. I was originally going to buy a pair of Asics GT-2110s, but I was persuaded to buy a pair of new Nike Air Max 360s. The two shoes don't compare at all. The Nikes are so much better than the 2110s that they're basically in another class. However, I paid for that class because the shoes are $160. I'm going to pick up a pair of 2110s next week so I don't wear out my Nikes. While I was at the running store I also picked up a pair of running tights and underwear. More on that later. Saturday evening I went to a friend's house where she made this absolutely delicious hot pot dinner. There was so much food it made my head hurt and my stomach too. I ate a lot.
Sunday I went for a 11 mile run. Since I had picked up new running gear the day before, I of course had to wear them that day. So I was decked out in my new Nikes, running underwear and of course my brand new, leave nothing to the imagination, form-fitting running pants. These tights made me feel like a superhero. I left a lot of room in the crotch so as not leave a visible bulge around the crotchal area. It's either show a bulge or don't show anything at all. I went for the no bulge look. This had the effect of making me look like a eunuch or, as one of my running buddies pointed out, a ken doll. The pants are great for running but not so much for normal walking about, which I ended up doing after the run. I forgot to bring a pair of regular pants, so I was stuck in my tights. For some strange reason I felt oddly exposed. I wonder why. Later that day my friends and I ended up going to our local running store again, where the owner promptly put me in a pair of looser fitting pants to make me decent. We also persuaded another guy to buy a pair of 360s.
And now for some brain farts.
I only have a few boxes left to unpack!
Never make tuna sandwiches in the presence of cats.
Rold Gold Honey Wheat Pretzel Sticks are evil.
Battlestar Galactica is a really good show.
Audioslave's second CD rocks.
