I'm like George freaking Costanza down by the lake - ducks, pigeons, seagulls, obtrusive geese EVERYWHERE. Either they have no spatial awareness or they're downright inconsiderate.

Maritza fed me her leftover gel/gu stuff about 30 minutes before my run. (Power Bar Double Latte, produced on the same machines as milk.) I can't say whether this is the cause of my faster running, but I ran fast today. Yay!

Thanks for the props via link!

I'm telling you, this stuff works wonders. I'm glad a non-lactard was able to make use of the gels!

Hey I was thinking, got any ideas on how the 3 of us could get paid to blog?

Emily said...

Maybe start a topless running blog? Some sicko would be willing to pay for that!

Marathon Maritza said...

I beg your pardon, I am a lady!

Ha ha!!!

Actually, since I am blogging at work right now, I technically AM getting paid to blog. :P

Excellent pace on the run E!!

Emily said...

Thanks Jen, but I refuse to believe that pace. I am going to need my own GPS or do a really detailed gmap assessment of the course. I suspect that it is actually shorter than I think. Blasted!

I am at work too....but I also have my shirt off.

:D

That camera I installed in your office is paying itself off today.

We should all go for a run sometime and you'll have more feedback data then you could ever want!

Yeah E, so true. If you think MY gps is fun, wait to you get a load of all the data Jen's gives you. Mile splits with a beep signaling each completed mile, stats and breakdown on overall run, per mile, etc. It's glorious.

I'm going to come up with a new Garmin for women. Apart from that standard data, every once in a while, it'll give you compliments.

"Your legs are incredible!"

"You are a hottie!"

"You have a tight, fit ass. Go girl, go!"

"Your legs do NOT look stumpy in running shorts!" (that one is for me.)
