TGIF Mofo's

Last night's trip to the gym yielded absolutely nothing in terms of Runner Boy sightings. Sorry. I really do think that perhaps he was rehabbing an injury just like me. But I do doubt that I'll see him at the Shuffle this weekend. There'll be just too many people around. I was finally able to get my ab routine in though, so I'll count this trip as a triumph. For the past week, I haven't been able to even get onto the mat where you can do ab work, there were so many people.



Oh yes. Quite a few of them were just sitting on the mat. Not stretching. Not doing ab work. Not doing any work. Just sitting there. L-A-M-E.


There was one bright spot. Stalker lady was there! And sure enough, she followed me to the mat and stared at me the entire time I was working out. She threw in a little workout of her own here and there. But mostly, she stared at me. It was super duper creepy. But comforting in a ways. I know that stalker lady will always be there for me. Watching my every move.

*Shudder*

This morning I got in a nice, short easy-paced run. I ran the first half at a 10:30 pace and then bumped the second half up to a 9:50 pace and threw in some strides at the end. It felt really good. And I was glad to get in something that felt solid. I'm supposed to run an 11 miler tomorrow, but owing to the fact that I have to go to Navy Pier for packet pick-up (yes, this is only an 8K, and yes, there is an expo for some reason) and get to church and run a race on Sunday, I'm opting for a short 6 miler. I think I've got a 12 miler on the books for next weekend anyway.

So, I'll try to post pictures tomorrow of my outing to the expo and any fun that may ensue, and I plan on taking pictures at the Shuffle too.
