lake trip!!!
well, maybe not good reasons.. but reasons.
some of which are in-the-works reasons, some of which are full-fledged thats just how it is reasons, and some of them are just being lazy reasons.
however, all of these reasons have to do with... i haven't been running reasons.
yeah no. nada of the running with the legs in the heat for this chica right here. i = burnout. so i've made the executive decision to not run for a while.. cuz i can do that, ya know. make executive decisions.
HA!
nobody is the boss of ME!!!
(hmm. okay. sorry. 4 year old child moment there.)
anyway. so the not running for a while thing ...how long of a while? well, i dunno. but never fear, i will be doing other many-limbed things in lieu of the non-running.
like what you ask?!
like.... biking!!!! and swimming!!!! and... Bootcamp Fitness!!! and Windsor Pilates!!! and Tae-Bo (don't laugh. i love billy blanks and his ridiculously spandexed-out video, it kicks my ass!!)
i'm currently attempting to work on some sort of schedule for all of these activities, but whenever i sit down to do so, i wind up finding something else that just has to get done first.. so..
you know how that goes.
but in the mean time... i'm off to the LAKE!!!!! for the KU crew's 2nd Annual Table Rock Lake boating/laking extravaganzzzzzza!!
although this year its less KU'ers, more just fellow designers... so..
the 2nd Annual Table Rock Lake bunch-of-my-friends-that-are-designers boating/laking get-a-way extravaganzzzzza..
er. something.
might need to re-work that.
anyway, we're sneaking off mid-day thursday, to return sunday evening... and i have much to do before then, so, to all you dedicated, motivated athlete types out there -- go make muscles!!!
i'll be thinking of you as i lounge on the boat, sipping a beer, cliff-diving, tubing and just generally lazying about!!
run fast, bike hard, swim strong, and i'll be back on monday!

Good for you! ... taking a break. Hopefully that doesn't mean you'll not be visiting us at least once in a while on Sat. mornings. You could always work a water stop!

(why isn't my comment on here!!!) of course you weren't doing shots of tequila...you were in college, and this was no doubt part of some study assignment because that's what kids do in college, they STUDY. right?

I hope you keep writing throughout your non-running period, or your sick of running period, or whatever you wanna call it! :) I enjoy your writing so much, and it helps to know that even someone so dedicated to running goes through times when she needs a break.

Enjoy the fun trip. You deserve it after your marathon. Have a beer or two for me.

Those are depth charges for lightweights. A demitasse of beer and a dropper of whiskey. That way, they can claim they did depth charges all night long.Ale, put some time into the swimming and biking, and the running will improve without heavy training. You'll still build on your cardio foundation and give your legs a rest.

You ruined it for me...I thought you knew a real pirate! Flatman, I think those are demitasse, well some demi-demitasse. They must've had some REALLY fancy coffee, so had to serve it in shrunken mini cups.
