Don't Let Me Get Me

"Never win first place
I don't support the team
I can't take direction
and my socks are never clean..."

Sometimes I just have to find humor in situations that I have no direct control over. I keep saying "It's not me, it's them."

You Spin Me Round

Last night's track workout:

Slow warm up run, about 3 laps, then stretches.

Jog 100
Run 100

Jog 100
Run 200

Jog 100
Run 300

Jog 100
Run 400

Jog 100
Run 400

Jog 100
Run 300

Jog 100
Run 200

Jog 100
Run 100

Cool down jog for several laps on the infield , probably about 5 or 6 laps, then stretches.

I opted for C group because my stomach was having issues before I even arrived at the track. People in C group seemed confused about this workout. Several just did whatever or did more walking instead of jogging due to fatigue. I paced myself behind a woman who knew the workout, and that helped with my overall workout. I didn't use my GPS for this workout, but I suppose I should have. Oh well. I really need to do this workout again, when I'm feeling better. I just didn't have the energy to really push myself, and my stomach was not being kind, either. Barfing was not an option!

I'm back at work tomorrow. One of the new hires walked off the job! We're really not that hard to work for, I swear!

The Information

I found a little tidbit of info regardng the San Francisco Nike Women's Marathon/Half Marathon event for 2008. It's on October 19, 2008, and if you want information as to when the official sign up begins, go HERE. It still has the graphics for the 2007 event, but the box for receiving infor for 2008 is at the bottom of that page, once you get into the site. The half marathon sold out quickly last year, and the marathon sold out in a couple of days after that. They did open up a lottery to let in more runners because of the sell out, but not everyone got in. I plan on signing up for this year's event, and I'm hoping I'll get in again. The plan is to work out the details of the trip better so that I can spend more time with my blog runner friends and take full advantage of the expo. I felt like I missed out on some of the festivities last year, but that was poor planning on my part. Oh yeah, for completing the event you receive a Tiffany & Co. sterling silver finisher's necklace. Feeling motivated?

Who Needs Pictures

...I sure do.


Looks like I didn't need to have a hat-cam after all! Someone from the SDTC was kind enough to take photos of our run last Saturday.



Here's what we ran next to:






On my way back!


Just in case, that's me in front, in the white shirt and hat.
