skewers, REALLY???
Woke up, Shebitch put up the seasonal "curtain," sequestering the "den" from the main body of the house. Ran outta tacks, used CORN SKEWERS. You STILL think I make this crap up????? Fuckin' nut. Goes out @ all hours to shop, pick up Snapple @ Walgreens, but can't buy tacks??? Better to destroy the wood I took great pains to sand and finish. Doesn't give a shit about Its own home-but cook for others. Pathetic.
Another terrific morning, 39 degs, clear path, no ice. 6 days to go.

day 826
:)
finished the weekend on a high note.
started crappy, Shebitch putting notes on food in the fridge, i.e. "don't touch, for Keith's dinner tonight and tomorrow." Of course, neither transpired, the food remains uncooked, he had frozen pizza (meanwhile, It cooked a shitload of chicken for Its sick friend. Again, fuck us, friends get what we should-after all, we're only family). Likewise, with yesterday's "Noreaster" (pussy Noreaster if you ask me, one inch of snow n' wind???), the gate Shebitch couldn't be bothered closing is currently hanging by a thread. Translation: if it falls apart, they can't throw Hulk in the backyard-he'd escape. So, needless to say, Stoney goes out in the wind/snow/rain to fix the gate. Remember, all Shebitch hadda do was supervise the installation (remember, when installed I was...what's that word..."working."). Alas, in addition to not lifting a finger, It cannot manage the presence of mind to shut the gate properly, hence, it's FUCKED UP. Glad I spent thousands to have Amendola's install the fencing.
So, with the drop in temps, do we have heat? Of course-electric portable heaters. God forbid spend a buck on oil, no, spend MY money on electric bills. Useless cunt.
So, this am was s'posed to be the Poland Spring 5m in Central Park. Alas, the park was closed-falling trees. Didn't even think of heading over to Totten-did THEY head to OUR race????? So, got my miles in @ AP. Rolling hills, ice on the overpasses, made for a welcome break.
Was glad to log more than a mere 5m. Though I DO miss my peeps. Hope they did well.
HELLUVA good time @ the record expo. God bless wfmu.

got lucky
precip predicted, to start out as rain (ughhhhhh) THEN SNOW! Fortunately, manana back to normalcy, but today s'posed to be a shipwreck. So, headed out asap.
Usually on weekends try to leave @ 5-90 mins later than usual for me. But with rain predicted to start @ 6am, hadda boogie. Good thing I did. Mist started asap, still misting, but raining as we speak in Manhattan. No prob, got my miles in!
With The Big One 8 days away, now is not the time to slack off.

GRRRRRRRR!!!
Woke up, ok. Few mins later RAIN!!! I was HOPING I'd have a window of opportunity. Got to the job, laced 'em up, nothin' doin' RAINNNNNNN! Of coruse, a day off WOULD be normal, but...
All day conference, with the thuoght of that in mind, would'a been nice to get a run in.
Oh well, my knees'll thank me.
(glad I didn't get soaked though. Nothing worse than heading out dry, then getting nailed)
Attended the conference, all the way near the WTC. THEN, during "lunch," headed to B & N to pick up a copy of Piri Thomas' book, THEN off to NYRR to get brotherfromanothermother and my numbers for Sunday.
Busy day.
...and did I mention I hate rain???

day 822
11 more days
Getting closer and closer to The Big One. Brotherfromanothermother called yesterday to tell me he'd FINALLY accessed his Facebook page-he logs on less than Lisa-who logs in once a month. Also, he checked his corral for The Big One. Surprised he did what he did-you MUST give a predicted time-but you gotta do it on a curve. Couple of years ago I was still on Fort Wadsworth, looked up @ the Verrazano, Larry the Lighthouse was on the bridge. WTF???? Since then, I always gave a wildly adjusted time-3 hours. Little did I think they'd buy it! I go off @ 9:40. That's the good news. The BETTER news: it's an hour earlier than normal people. Thank you God!!!!! Waiting that long to run is the worst part.
THAT was icing on the cake. Earlier in the day a former peep who'd relapsed-I'd driven him to rehab-called to check in. I usually duck his calls(I usually duck EVERYONE'S calls. I'm obviously not one to "shoot the shit."), but we had a nice conversation. He was doing well, good. A really genuinely good guy.
Striders hooking up for our usual premarathon pasta dinner. Finally though we got smart. Enough of the friggin' Olive Garden already. Always a wait for crap food. We're doing a local restaurant near here. More gooder! Brotherfromanothermother's volunteering The Expo the same day, so we'll hang, go to The Expo, then the pasta dinner. Nice!!!
THEN, Football Dad friends me on Facebook. God bless the guy. He's one of those genetically nice people-like brotherformanothermother.
So, with rain predicted for this pm through tomorrow, got my miles in this am. Good.

follow your heart
...good thing I do. Was scheduled to have Cablevision come fix our internet prob between 5-8 pm. To cover myself, I'd asked Stoney to come straight home. He didn't. Of course, Shebitch left asap. House empty. Except for First Bank of Dad. @ 4:45 Cable guy called n' asked if he could come early. YESSSS!!!!! But, let that sink in: if First Bank of Dad hadn't been there? This gets really old really fast, being the only "can do" person there.
Problem? It was a bad splitter. Also, it was the ORIGINAL splitter. Weathered, exposed to the elements. He replaced it, the whole thing didn't take 15 minutes. Of course, it raises various problems: if he'd had to go into the basement to trace the line? He'd have never been heard from again. Fucking shipwreck Shebitch leaves in Its wake. Now, this gets translated as "stop moving my things." Of course, Its things are everywhere.
Meanwhile...from the "things that matter" chapter: got my run in. PERFECT temps-56. Didn't even need gloves. Nice.

Got the license renewed, check. Got the windshield replaced, check. Now: inspection. The end of the 3 part 'roid. Thank GOD I can trust my Chevy dealer. Drop off the veeeeehicle, tell 'em to "do what needs to be done." Nice.
BUT, into every life.....INTERNET'S down. Dayum, feel like I lost a limb. Thank God it didn't affect cable, couldn't miss Boardwalk.
NIIIIICE morning for a run. Crisp, t-shirt and gloves. Still shorts weather...for now.

day 818
well done
not GREAT, but well done.
Did the Prospect Park 10k, the inaugural race from the peeps who do the Rock n' Roll Marathons. It was fun. Prospect Park is NEVER easy, my time SUCKED, but I ran it all, no walk breaks. AND it was 2 loops-which I HATE. Not inexpensive-$60, but a medal and way cool shirt! To top it off, who introduced the race, Marty Markowitz, who quoted the latest GQ which named Brooklyn the "coolest city." I disagree, nyc IS where it's at, but Brooklyn is close. Nice to run by the bandshell, echoes of concerts past. Also, well provisioned-liquid Gu @ mile 3.5. Nice. PLENTY of crap afterwards. Elik did it as well-he smoked the course. On the other hand, he doesn't have a 4m manana.
Came home, Stoney asking for razors. I'd had a stash, It discovered them, all of a sudden I'm fair game. No dice. Told him to hold Shebitch to Its responsibilities. Hurt like hell to say no to him, but he has to understand. (though I DID salve my conscience by buying him Taco Bell).
Of course, It left him alone all day, frozen pizza in the fridge. Ahhhhhhh memories.........

WOW!!!!!
Felt really bad about my escort to Joe Walsh, but fuckit, their loss. WHAT A CONCERT!!!!!
He hits the stage in a Ramones shirt, proclaiming "p.s.216 Queens, the longest 6 years of junion high." What a GOD!!!!! Introduces the band, the 2 drummers, points to the percussionist "n' I dunno who he is, just some guy." And, in this day and age of political correctness, the guy was black. Didn't matter, all in good fun! Starts the show w/Welcome to the Club, introduces the next one as "this next song is called 'Song Two.'" This man is a PISSER!!!!!!! Really took me back. Thanks God, thanks Joe.
Today, a LOVELY day. Got my run in, hit NYC, hit the Uniqlo store-fatal error. They have these long sleeve thermal shirts, $12.90, hadda buy every style, THEN jeans for $9.90. Walked out -$90.
Went to pick up my number for manana's big Prospect Park race, bump into 2 girls who recognized me from Alley Pond. They were calling one of their peeps to introduce all of them to me. Amazing. They asked if I was "that guy." Friends everywhere. Cute friends too!
Hadda switch bibs. They had me in corral 11, predicted time of 2:30. I could crawl the race in that time. Now I'm in corral #2. A bit much, but fuckit.
Thanks you God, Joe Walsh is one of your better creations!!!!! Totally reaffirms my faith.

the glass IS half full (much as I dislike admitting it)
Woke up, raining. FUCK. But......."passing showers." Literally, on my way into the job it was stop and start showers.
Got to the job, liiiight rain, then stopped. NICE! I was ready to bail, when it rained it was heavy, but alas, got to lace 'em up! Nice.
Conflicted last night. Rick was going to Dick Dale. Never been to the Boulton Center, and Dick Dale IS cool, but eh. THOUGHT it better to stay in. BIG mistake. Shebitch, typically, on a tear. Fuck it, I got through the night!
Tonight, Joe Walsh!!!!!!!

soooooooooooooooo close
Was mentally ready to NOT run this am, again, rain predicted. Woke up, nothing. Didn't even dare check the hourly forecast-didn't really wanna know. Hey, don't fuck with my defense mechanisms.
Hit the unit, still nothing. Now, parenthetical to this, I DID leave Toxichouse 30 mins earlier than usual, in the back of my mind was yesterday's hourly forecast-they said the precip'd start 'round 4. My rough guesstimate-a day later=an hour later, so if I got up 30 mins earlier I'd beat it.
ALMOST made it. After the turn around, drops, then mist, then...RAIN. Fuck it, got my run in! Life is worth living.

I could get used to this!
Really feeling good, unusual. Usually feel ok, but I picked up a pair of Asics and they work! Amazing. Those + running = feeling good. I'm surprised. The weekend sucked, my birthday dinner SUCKED, yet I'm ok. Amazing what running can do.
And, miracle of miracle, after prepping myself to throw in the towel, Stoney's actually going to the gym!!!!! I was ready to either get a refund on half the year's cost, or push him to go. Que paso? His peeps are joining. Good. Thanks God!!!!!

good to be back!
Really glad the weekend's over. Even ended on a shit note. When we went out for my birthday dinner/debacle, of course IT took a doggie bag (side note: payback's a what???? During the height of Its cursing @ me, Its tooth fell out. Rather than do what normal people do, It Krazy Glued it in. STILL think I make this shit up?). So, back to the doggie bag. It told Stoney to dump his veggies in: "Daddy'll eat 'em tomorrow." I did, It comes home late last night, raging that I ate them. Amazing. Hasta poke Its head into the bedroom to yell @ me. No Virginia, you CAN'T make this shit up.
Now, here's what ya gotta keep in mind. Even Stoney's starting to see It's nuts. Friday It came home with takeout-from Applebees-how ironic. Spent $30 on quesadillas. THIRTY fucking bucks. Even HE shook his head. Don't shop for food, to cook, like a normal person.
Was nice to be back on The Line.
Interesting note: No, you CAN'T hide. @ yesterday's 1pm 5k, I was the only non white, but that isn't the point. Bumped into Team In Training from Eisenhower Park peep and the guy who runs backwards in Alley Pond. Amazing. Where there are runners we have peeps.

THAT sucked!!!!!
If it wasn't for the fact that I havta look @ myself in the mirror, I'd crawl under a rock!
Yesterday we were supposed to go to dinner @ 7:30, my birthday dinner. Again...give that a second to sink in. 9 days after my birthday, because of one bullshit reason after another. The night before? It hadda hook up with friends. Nice.
So, finally, @ 8:15 we went. 45 minutes late, again, excuse after excuse..."if I had your number..." (conveniently forgetting the psychotic rantings which led to my getting my number changed). Then screaming "fuck you" twice, because It couldn't admit It fucked up, again. THEN, getting on my case about my eating disorder. Remember, THIS was the night to take me to dinner. Lovely. Nothing says "I love you" or "happy birthday" like "fuck you."
Eventually, we get to the restaurant. Reservations? Of course not, 45 minute wait. I went ballistic. Fuck me.
We went to Applebees instead. Big fucking deal. dinner @ 9pm. Lovely. My one fucking meal of the day 7 1/2 hours late-and THIS was my birthday gift?????
So this am, was supposed to do the St.Francis 5k, fuck that. Did The Line, REALLY needed the miles. THEN, did a 5k race @ 1pm. Anything to stay outta myself. Actually came in 3rd in my age group. Of course, didn't wait for my award. What a fucking shit 24 hours.
***AND, icing on the cake: Stoney had hit on me first thing in the am for $ to hang with his peeps after the PSAT'S. WHICH HE DIDN'T TAKE??????!!!!! Why? The CUNT forgot to send in the paperwork on time. But I get "fuck you" x 2????????
That fucking cunt.
Happy birthday to me.

I can ALMOST taste it, but nooooooo.
Was preregged to do Oysterfest, but fuck that. Got my green line 6.5 in instead. Totally bailed on the Oysterfest. Not in the mood to TRY to do speed on a short course. Now is not the time.
And better. Note the date. Note when my birthday was. Shebitch wants TONIGHT to take me to dinner. Why? Last night/evening, It hadda hang with its friends. Great. So I get to postpone my once a fucking day meal for SIX GODDAMNED HOURS, to celebrate MY FUCKING BIRTHDAY. I'm gonna order like a motherfucker.
Tomorrow, not sure. St.Francis has a 5k, might havta do it-a Queens thing. We'll see.

And better. Note the date. Note when my birthday was. Shebitch wants TONIGHT to take me to dinner. Why? Last night/evening, It hadda hang with its friends. Great. So I get to postpone my once a fucking day meal for SIX GODDAMNED HOURS, to celebrate MY FUCKING BIRTHDAY. I'm gonna order like a motherfucker.
Tomorrow, not sure. St.Francis has a 5k, might havta do it-a Queens thing. We'll see.

day 810
I could get used to this!
Had the choice between 2 shows last night, timed it juuust right, did both!!!
First, Indigo Girls @ The Beacon. Was ready to bail on this one due to the other concert, but knew the other one had 3 opening acts. Good thing I followed my instincts: EIGHTH FUCKING ROW!!!!! Wow. And of course, the concert was amazing-how could it not be.
Then off to The Gramercy for Marky Ramone. God bless him for keeping the music going. Note for note (they weren't virtuosos-that was the point-3 chord rock) Ramones. He could be doing a million things right now, he's makin' music. God bless him. Though my hearing suffered, blissfully :).
Between the 2 concerts lots of memories. Indigo Girls @ Rumsey Playfield(THAT was lovely, with a beautiful person-made being alone painful thereafter), the Beacon-WAY too many shows there, wrapping it: R-A-M-O-N-E-S!!!!! Yummmmmm.
Then to the West Side Y, showered and crashed big. Woke up in the middle of the night-SERIOUS rain, but by the time I got outta bed-6:40, it'd stopped. Good. Did a loop of Central Park, and now, chillax.
Nice one God, thanks!!!!

FRIDAY!!!!!
(at least for me it is)
Rain had been predicted, yecch. Woke up, hadda shut the windows. Left Toxichouse, raining. Got to the unit, mist. YESSSSS! Got my run in!
What complicated matters is this being my Friday. Tonight I'll spend the night in Manhattan, as the concert is @ The Beacon. So, if I hadn't run, those'd be calories I'll need later I'm sure. Though I'd have been tempted to run in Central Park, since we ALL know I'll be WAY early. And the time between checking into my room and the concert would normally be spent at some limited release movie. We'll see.
When I got up, Shebitch struck again. Fucked with my stuff. And you wonder why I have my "lost weekends." Beats losing my mind.
Looking forward to the concert.

day 808
:)
Went home yesterday, Stoney was actually up for a movie! These days, being a teenager, doing ANYTHING together is a friggin' miracle. Add to this, it's "welfare Tuesdays," ($6 flicks), so he's loathe to go. He'll go on a Wednesday (and pay double), but doesn't wanna go on Tuesday. So yesterday was different. Nice. Of course there WAS an agenda. He was gonna hit on me for Taco Bell.
So off we went, early. So early he got Mickey D's instead. So far so good. Got our tix for Real Steel-a surprisingly good movie (even @ 2 hrs 7 mins, the time passed quickly). He got his usual ersatz slurpee and pretzel nuggets, I got my self serve pay by the ounce candy-and was comped! Nice!!!
Shebitch comes home, my birthday dinner is again postponed due to Its never predictable schedule. Good thing I don't give a fuck. But you KNOW I'm ordering to max out the check!!!!! It was whining about paying for tires and a break job, so of course I noted the mortgage/electric/cable payments. Welcome to life bitch, it costs.

With Monday Columbus Day, and Friday off, this'll be a brief week. Looking forward to Thursday night @ the Beacon.

day 806
recovery run/trudge
Again, really SHOULD'A taken today off, but the weather was WAY too nice. Pret texted asking if I was doing AP, so we went. Major error, how the FUCK she thinks she can do my pace escapes me. Though today, we matched. Her knee and my fatigue made for a perfect fit.
Then, off to Chelsea Piers for HOCKEY!!!!! Hit a flick after, then home. Why "home" rather than "Toxichouse?" Had the place to my damn self. Nice.
A good day.

day 805
you can't make up stuff this good.
Was tempted to stay overnight in Brooklyn. Why? Did a 10k in Bed Stuy in the am, 5k in Greenpoint in the pm, so it WOULD'A been easier, but no. Made the mistake of going home.
But don't lets get ahead of ourselves.
Took the LIRR into Brooklyn predawn. DAMN! To think I used to do that every day. Looks like post-apocalyptic New York. What a hole! But, went down Nostrand ave to find the run. Previously I'd driven. Crucial error. The race was on FULTON!!!! Shit. Of course, I was hours early, no prob. Now, I'd let this race fall off the rader because the organizers are assholes, but the cause is cool. Plus, it's in 'da hood. Last time I did it, it was hand scored, my time didn't register. Was regged to do the Staten Island half, but fuck Staten Island-pain in the ass coming in AND leaving. Also, Michele was @ this race, one of the peeps. So, did the run, did ok. Caught her with 1200 metres to go, actually stopped @ 200m to let her pass. It was only fair.
Then, off to Greenpoint. The pig-a-thon. Really a glutfest. DP was there, thank God, otherwise I would'a felt horribly alone. Though this WAS where I picked up my uber cool folding bike, The Tank. She doesn't think she did well, but kicked my ass. Then again, I did the am run. Was nice to hang with someone with a brain. Drove me back to the job, then home I went.
Big mistake/good thing. Why? Stoney has a party tonight. Shebitch couldn't find Its checkbook, guess who ponied up $$$. THAT'S not the prob, the prob is: if I hadn't have come home, he was gonna tell the babe he was sick, and thus miss out. All because Shebitch is a useless cunt. Really. And you wonder if this is fiction.
Good thing I came home. First Bank of Dad to the rescue.
***And again, GREAT after party in Greenpoint. Had murder burgers, a cookie, olive loaf, and part of a 6 foot hero. All the shit I NEVER eat. Yummmmmm.

day 804
yin/yang, best of times/worst of times.
Last night Shebitch AGAIN destroys my NY marathon poster. Fucking cunt. No worries, I have DOZENS. and put one on the fridge as well. God forbid you support your spouse. Or at least stay the fuck outta the way.
On the positive front: got to see my peeps this am. Chris and Lisa were running the opposite way (funny, didn't wait after-typical. But if I don't wait I get grilled). Was nice to see 'em all.
Manana, a big day: seemingly Brooklyn day. Bed Stuy in the am, Greenpoint in the pm. Of course I hadda do the lawn today, but it's ok. Manana am is a 10k, pm a 5k.
Won't miss Staten Island a bit.

that sucked
Crap birthday on the homefront. I'm First Bank of Dad, and that's it. Be nice to have someone do something. When it's Shebitch's birthday I make it a point for Stoney to have a card and a gift to present first thing in the am. Oh well, good thing I learned how to be good to me.
Thank God all my peeps checked in, meant alot.
Had a VERY good day off. Got up late (5am), hit The line @ 8. Hadda nail down some shit @ the job. Ran with Pret, then hit the golf course. Back home, ate, then off to Manhattan. Though I'm bailing on the Staten Island half (too many good runs to do that day) hadda get my shirt.
Can't believe Shebitch didn't do a goddamned thing. Stil think I make this shit up?

day 802
...and what have we done?
52 years ago today. Wow. Should'a died long ago, but still vertical and intact.
Went further than I should've, done more than I ever dreamed. Been a fun ride.
Hope my mom knows the fruits of her labors, really broke her balls as a single parent. Hope my dad sees the legacy continues, and that, like him, the testosterone runs deep. Hope one day my son realizes his father was always there, despite being totally alone in the parenting game.
REALLY pissed my work is taken for granted, but then again, if you're doing your job...like a drop of water in the ocean.......It's never about you. Rather, the service you render the patients. I have their respect, nothing else matters.
Woke up this am to a note from Stoney re: "mom's working the rest of the week...she wants to know..." Guess It can speak about me behind my back but can't to my face. Bitch.
Steve Jobs died. Ouch. The world lost a good one.
And yet Shebitch lives.
Still can't believe more than half my life is over, though knowing me I'll keep going. If not, each day was made to count. Not a day has been wasted.
Thanks guys.

day 801
FINALLY!!!!!
The threat of rain is over. Nice. Now we roll up our sleeves!
One month from The Big One. Now's the time to get serious. Did St.Francis, feeling good. Concerned about what to do re: which running shoes to use. Was used to the NB's, but made a successful switch to Sauconys-they don't change their design every year. Can't shake the annoyance I had @ the knee pain resulting from worn NB's, since I didn't wanna give 'em up.
REALLY annoyed at my own agency at the bullshit. Again, to recap. I'd interviewed June 21. NOW I get a call that the same position was posted on Craigslist. Not even a peep in the job announcements section on our own website! WHATTHEFUCK???? And the icing on the cake, NEVER was an official announcement about acting director. Talk about getting shit on.

day 800
this is getting ridiculous
thank God I have a taste for the absurd.
Got a call from a peep yesterday, 2 facilities have Director's gigs open, both had interviews done in June. Both were posted on Craigslist. WTF????? REALLY nice of our agency to inform us. Can you believe we weren't notified? And of course we got the usual bullshit "you'll hear from us..." What pure crap. Amazing an agency that has a wellness committee treats its hard working staff this way. We don't get more $ in our checks for the dual function we hold, yet we don't get respected. Amazing.
AND, per our agency website, there are no postings/job announcements. WhattheFUCK is this??? Stealth posting?????
For how long were we told: pay your dues and...and what? Get fucked????? Get used? REALLY dysfunctional way of doing business. And THIS, a behavioral sciences agency. Wellness my ass.
Can you IMAGINE if the gig goes to an outsider? You'd think the agency would'a learned from their MATC debacle-2 outsiders, 2 resignations. OR their Long Island fiasco, a 2 year Director.
Really makes you feel good about what you do fo' massa.
GREAT running temps. 50 degs! Sweatshirt n shorts. Yummmmmmm.
Last night, new season of House. YAY!!!!!!
Shebitch? Pouring rain yesterday, Stoney takes his longboard to Subway. No food in the house. It comes waltzing in @ 10pm. He had no idea where the bitch was, and I didn't care. All I knew: the house was quiet. Great way to live.

day 799
peeps dunno
Got my run in this am, again, with the threat of rain I take nothing for granted. This HAS to be the rainiest friggin' season ever, jeez. Was nice seeing my usual suspects-esp the Dim Sum peeps who were @ the 1/2 on Sat. They were as happy to see me as I them. Felt good. Would'a been nice to take off, but with The Big One a month away, now's not the time.
Shebitch, again, on a tear last night. Home @ 8:30pm, manic as hell. Actually pissed I had a window open (can you IMAGINE??? Ain't I a bastard???), then goes on a tear about my wiping water from the counter. Amazing. Peace and quiet 'til It comes in. Started with the "don't you have a run to go to?" bullshit. Great to have support on the homefront ain't it?
Peeps dunno how good they got it.

day 798
better!
Did the Forest Park 5k, an event I had no business doing.
Woke up this am, rain, again. FUCK! But then, it stopped. YAY!!!!! After the half yesterday, there COULD be worse things, but alas, was not to be. The precip stopped, and off I went.
Knew at least one peep would be there, turns out there were 2. Good. Hadda represent. They're our sister club. Unfortunately, too many others went their seperate ways. I miss when clubs were together. Fuck 'em, we were there.
Not the usual course, that one's a 4m. Good. Tough enough as it was, but, no walk breaks. Bumped into a renegade before the run, great to always have a peep wherever you go, and Irish Joe. Lovely really. Great people. *Side note: even yesterday, in the pouring rain in nyc, literally bumped into Evan. Amazing, friends everywhere.
Really one for the memories. When Shebitch first was in the hospital, I have a pic of Stoney in the bleachers on his gameboy. you know it was some time ago 'cause Howie was running.
Turned out to be a beautiful day. Glad I went.
Home? Stoney still in his pajamas, Shebitch nowhere to be found (ahhhh memories of Sundays) an empty container of ice cream in the garbage. Glad I paid for that gym memberbship.
Texted, mms'd, bbm'd Lisa asking about the Diva thing. No answer.

day 797
Better than I thought.
Did the 1/2 today. NOT rested, no carbs, so the energy wasn't what it should'a been, but still came in @ 49%. I'm happy with that.
Yes it was a struggle, I was entirely ready to bail first thing in the am. POURING rain, but fortunately, it stopped as I got the call from brotherfromanothermother. Hooked up, the sun tried coming out, all was well.
Felt good until mile ten, then fatigue kicked in. Fortunately, Vince and Sue were volunteers-can't wimp out in front of your peeps. With 1200metres to go, they cheered me on, I took a walk break, some cute babe used the name she'd overheard them calling me, gave me the push I needed. I LOVE running :) .
Seriosuly considered doing the 1.7, but it turns out, 6 Striders did the half. Imagine if I'd been the sole pussy?
THEN, hung in nyc caught a limited release flick, and the SKIES OPENED! Bought a cheap shit street um-br-ella (eh eh eh eh) to get to Duane Reade to buy a real one.
Did a spin class to cool down, then headed home.
A very good day.
