Yep I ran a mile<\/a> and barely looked at my watched and still did about an 8 minute mile. So weird. I’m switching the link back to Mapmyrun, I think the Garmin link doesn’t work right. Meanwhile it’s weird that I was in shorts and a tec shirt, first thing in the morning, in December, in the Northeast. It was dark out, fog everywhere, but not cold. It’s starting to really freak me out.
\nSo tomorrow is Roxbury, I’m feeling as well as I can expect, and hopefully I will have a good race tomorrow. Also went to a local sporting goods store to pick up my bib for Sunday as well. That race will be all about how I’m feeling in the morning. Will I have a martini before the race? Who knows? So I have a running-packed weekend ahead of me.
\nAlso, I was admonished today for saying I wasn’t going to make my running club’s Holiday Party this week. It’s mostly a budgetary concern. But I have been told (more so than asked) to simply skip dinner and show up after to hang out for the awards. I suppose I can do that. I guess sometimes folks like having me around or something. It’s strange to me, I think I’m a jerk! But that’s something to do this coming week, looks like I’ll have a busy Thursday, as I also have to meet my dad at the State library to look up some family records. Looks like a frenetic end of the year for me! Also, I got to use the word frenetic in a sentence, so life is good.
\nWith that, I give you some Christmas cheer with my favorite rendition of a song that when I was a kid I could have sworn it was about cannibalism. They talk about tender and mild infants! Frankly, I prefer my food to be spicy, the word mild doesn’t usually factor into my cuisine choices, but you know, Christmas carols are supposed to be more milquetoast. And now the 5 cent words are flying! But yes, I always used to think why would anyone care if an infant were tender, or mild? I don’t think the texture and flavor or baby meat is the appropriate subject matter for any song lyrics, but they went and did it on this number! (Please recognize that I get they mean alternate definitions of the words tender and mild)
