Setting a Personal Record

Thanks for all the great suggestions on how to pick up a girl on a run.  Unfortunately, I doubt I join the running club, even if Dugan pays the fees.  I like the race idea; already did a Turkey Trot and will keep my eye out for more.  Running with a dog or stroller are good suggestions; I could even go with both dog and stroller. The girl that sticks around after finding out that it isn't my dog and the baby is a doll is sure to be a peach.

The laugh-out-loud suggestion, to trip and fall, is in play but conditions will have to be perfect.  If I get stuck running in the snow on a short run then I will try it.  I will absolutely blog in-depth about the encounter and try to have a video feed of it.  I was running on the beach over the Thanksgiving holiday and constantly thought of taking that dive from the boardwalk into the sand to meet the unsuspecting babe!

I just completed week 5 of the running schedule which included my personal record of 10 miles as the long run.  One cool thing that helped the run was on my way out, couple guys were rolling a 'funny' cigarette.  I smiled (it is not hard to smell) and they asked if I wanted some.  I just shook my head.  On my way back, probably at mile 9, the same guys were still sitting under the road.  "Damn, you've been running a long time", that was a cool feeling, well sort of.  I was also visualizing dinner, I cooked my spaghetti sauce which usually serves a healthy four portions.  Today the sauce was only one portion, I don't have left overs and haven't moved from my couch in 3 hours.  I've run 88 miles total and still on pace; runs are a lot easier at sea level.

Completed all the runs by Wednesday this week because it is finally time to break in the new snowboard...enjoy work everyone!
