Long runs done!!! If you can't tell I am writing this right as I got home, so I am still on my runners high and enjoying my chocolate milk :)

 

Warning: This may contain too much information.

 

Games I played to keep myself busy:

 

1. Find the cheapest gas- $2.19 but then I forgot to keep looking once I started running with Michael at mile 10. 

2. I spy something gross- I saw some pretty gross things on my run today. The first one was the spine of an unidentified animal. The cool thing was that I saw it on my 18 miler too, and it was still there this week. I actually got to run by it twice today too, lucky me. The second grossest thing on my run was when at mile 9 I snot rocketed down my own leg. (That was the too much information). The winner of the grossest thing on my run was so gross that I will not share it because seriously, you do not want to hear about it. Let's just say it belonged in a bathroom, and I guarantee you it is not what you are thinking.

3. Holler at cha boy- Count how many obnoxious college guys yell, whistle or honk at me. This number increases exponentially on game days, which happened to fall on both my 18 and 20 milers. I had 6 today, which isn't that much but for 7 miles I was running with a guy friend of mine, which usually deters them. And note that 6 is the number of vehicles, not people, as the truck with 4 drunk guys in the back (yes, at 9am) would have doubled the number.

Sadly, I won't be attending the football game today because when I did that after my 18 my legs screamed at me all night. So I am just going to watch it on tv and do some much needed cleaning.

Time for an AWESOME breakfast!! I am going to make pumpkin carob chip pancakes and turkey bacon. Oh yeaaaahhhh.

Kelsey- you have made my day! I love your list! I am going to copy you from now on!

Glad to see you are going to clean- maybe you have more running shoes than you think ;)

AWESOME 20 miles! You rock!!!

I like the play by play action. Nice run today! How are you feeling after your twenty mile run?

Kelsey, You are hilarious!!! And ... you are so ready for your marathon. I can hardly wait to read all about it. 3 weeks, right? SWEET!!

Carob! Oh nooo!

Turkey bacon! Double oh nooo!

From kelsey on Sun, Nov 09, 2008 at 19:14:39

Aww thanks guys, I'm feeling great, and ready to begin my taper!!

And I actually used chocolate chips instead of carob chips because I just really wanted them. So there :)

From marion on Sun, Nov 09, 2008 at 19:19:21

I am actually at a loss as to why Karob is supposedly better. I see no problem at all with moderate amounts of chocolate. ESPECIALLY for you my dear ;) Enjoy your taper :) You are going to ROCK your marathon :)

That is amazing! You are one tough cookie!

From Kelli on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 23:47:09

I have been slacking, but that was a great read! I am dying to know what belonged in the bathroom, my imagination is going wild right now!!! And to think of cute, tiny little you and a snot rocket---something does not compute!!!

I love your tricks to keep your mind busy. I may borrow the first two - I'm too old to get whistles for the last one.
