A few weeks ago I picked up a fun read about marathon training. This book was quite hilarious. I enjoyed reading about running from the perspective of someone who isn’t exactly enamored with the sport. Some people take this running thing far too seriously. One of my pet peeves is the runner who takes it so seriously that they have to gripe about every single thing that us non-serious types do to survive even a three-miler. Really, if you are SOOOO serious and awesome-O at this, get up front with the Russians and the Kenyans, and not back here in corral 27 with those of us who wear headphones, walk on occasion, don’t mind (and actually dig the folks from) Team in Training, and enjoy seeing people running races in tutus and with balloon animals on their heads, etc…

Apparently You Just Run
Ahhh, a middle-of-the-week holiday. How does it become an excuse to slack for the whole week??? I’m not horribly upset with myself over it though. I did get lots done here in the way of packing (we are moving into a new place in three weeks), and I entertained my parents and their dog for three days. Their dog, a loveable basset hound, scared my 90 pound Lab into the dark corner of the bedroom for the duration of the visit. My dog is super sweet, but kind of a wuss.

Ha! I completely agree with you on this point. Running snobs are the worst.
After I posted my last blog entry about the book, I sat down on the couch and read 100 pages in what seemed like 5 minutes. I love it so far!
