d'OH!
Ok. Yesterday, shebitch total meltdown. So, parked in the driveway, to make a clean escape this am. At least that was the plan. Got my stuff outta the vehicle, headed to the train (LIRR to NYC), when I got that "did I forget something?" feeling (turns out it was my brain, as you'll see). Thought I locked myself outta the vehicle. Broke the window to get access-turns out the key was in my gym bag. Sucks to have to balance so much. But ok, STILL made my train.
Did the run. Always a good one. This am was a bit more of a challenge as I hadda break the window, hurry to the train, AND rain. FUCK!!!!! Somehow though, as it always does, everything worked out. The rain stopped moments before race time.
This one is special. Curtis is WAY cool, and it IS the Brooklyn Bridge. Translation: your time WILL suck, but it's ok. Love that guy, one of us. Whatever "it" is, he gets it.
Rob, Helen, Gillian, and Deb were there. Quantum used to score it, now they can't even be bothered running it. Lots of Long Island usual suspects. Really fun.
Hung in nyc, then back to Toxichouse.
Why was shebitch on a tear. It's yearly thing. It goes to it's groupie's upstate for a week, so to rationalize a vacation from nothing, has to cause a fuss.

day 741
rain GRRRRRRR!
Today,ok. turning cloudy, but so far so good. Got my run in early, meaning, 2 hours after when I usually start (it IS the weekend). The streak lives!!!
Lots of un-usual suspects. My usual walkers, then, Korean RRC peeps by the friggin' busload! They're discovering what we all know, what a treasure AP is!
Also, my Jamaican/Renegade runners.
The downside: Toxichouse. Shebitch stole my razors, I made the mistake of asking, and rage ensued. Fuck!!! I KNEW Bitch stole them, but It can't be allowed to get away with it. Started raging about how my brothers would testify against me.....really heartwarming stuff. Healthy, well adjusted bitch.
Problem with running: you, eventually, have to stop.
So, again, headed off to NYC. Might as well have stayed overnight, 5k manana, but gotta be @ Toxichouse for fear of what It'd do. Headed to The Village to hang with the rest of the freaks, always felt @ home there, and do some shopping. Damn me! Got a HELLUVA Neil boxed set, a couple'a hundred $$ later. KNEW I shouldn't have worn my glasses (see more clearly the REAL goodies behind the counter).

getting used to this!
Working a 4 day week def has its benefits!!! Now, of course we all know I'm there for way too many hours, but still, it IS nice to have the illusion of freedom!
And again, the streak continues! Gotta. Sunday is a 5k, need to pack in the miles while I can. ;)

day 739
!!!!!
Happy Friday (for me). Made it-almost-through the week. Of course there's TONS of loose ends, always are in my bidness.
In my position, gotta get permission for moonlighting gigs, got the call from my boss yesterday re: "wtf???" She said she'd never gotten a request like the one I submitted. We shared a BIG laugh. Still pinching myself, imagine me, a model? Mr."man boobs," Mr.Fat since day 1. Nice to be me for this minute.
Last evening, annoying rain. This am, got my run in. NIIIICE. Again kiddies, the streak continues.

day 738
got "yanged"
Ok, felt great after hitting the gym with Stoney, then all the air got let outta my baloon.
He'd said he wanted to see Cowboys vs Aliens, went ahead of time to get the tix, get home, he doesn't wanna go. Wants to stay in. Fuck me. Really good flick, but hurt that he turned pussy on me.
St.Francis this am, upper 70's, niiice.

day 737
:)!!!!!
Had one of those rare evenings when nothing went wrong-other than Shebitch drawing more breaths.
Stoney asked for a lift to the gym, AND asked if I wanted to tag along. YESSS!!!!! One of those RARE moments when a teen bonds. He did weights, I did the ellip. Of course I paid for it this am, not as good a run as I could've, but, with doing the double yesterday.....
He's funny. You forget what it was like when you started out. He was amazed I only drank half a bottle of water. He'd refilled his container 2x. I told him about the need to hydrate, what amounts, and though gatorade beats soda, unless you're running distance-or marathon exercising, for a mere 45 mins it ain't no 'ting.
REALLY a good evening, then It came home. Oh well.
Beautiful morning today, after all the hail yesterday, surprised.

day 736
missed it by THIS much!
Good news: 5 minutes better than last year!!!!! Checked my numbers of the Queens half vs. last year. Last year: 2:22, this year, 2:17. YAY!!!!! I don't suck as much!
Shebitch out all day yesterday, Stoney totally alone. Nice summer eh? When It comes home "did you put a nail in my tire?" It got (another) flat. My answer "why would I waste a nail?" Bitch. Doesn't life a fucking finger all weekend.
And, back to the Queens Half, Warwick was there too! Gave him a "welcome back to Queens" greeting (as I passed him).
The black girl who runs with the Dim Sum peeps was impressed that I ran/trudged the day after Queens. With my times, not really impressive at all. If I rested properly I'd do well. It ain't about speed (obviously).
Actually left Toxichouse 30 minutes later than usual (True Blood), was tempted to rest...but.....
