Okay, this was mucho-mucho better!  The last mile is always a killer for me, but it felt good.  The only thing is that my left knee still hurts and i was very stiff and sore to start.  I'm running 10 on Saturday so I'm thinking I'll cross train tomorrow and give my legs a little rest from running.  I woke up late today and really only had time for 3 miles but decided I would sacrifice my job and run another mile even though I knew it would make me late, lol.  That's why I didn't have time to write more before.

So I was crossing the street at a 4 way stop light, it wasn't really my turn to cross, but there were no cars coming so I thought that would be okay.  So I'm running (not even slow) and this car comes flying up and honks at me.  Okay car, like that 2 seconds you had to brake really cost you a lot of time.  It just bugged me, like yeah it technically wasn't my time to cross but I was crossing fast and if he had been going the speed limit- 25 mph, he wouldn't have even come up on me that fast.   I just hate it when people honk, even when I'm driving.  Like I really cost him that much time, maybe 5 seconds.

Hope you felt less DRAGGING today!

Looks like the legs were less lead filled today.

i'm not commenting until I get more play by play action. i like the dirty details of the run :)

From Burt on Thu, Jul 09, 2009 at 12:06:43 from 68.76.197.194

No need to say anything. Garmin says it all.

From Leandra on Thu, Jul 09, 2009 at 12:09:39 from 70.56.109.202

Dirty details posted.

And yes, today felt much better. I've decided my run before was partly crappy because I had eaten only popcorn for dinner the night before. It's all part of a balanced diet.

Today must have been better because of the snow cone I had at 9 pm and the brownies at 10 pm. I should probably keep eating like that every night :)

From Burt on Thu, Jul 09, 2009 at 12:19:06 from 68.76.197.194

It works for me.

From Burt on Thu, Jul 09, 2009 at 12:33:55 from 68.76.197.194

Just read the dirty details. I so used to be that driver. Hahahaha!

From Merri on Thu, Jul 09, 2009 at 12:37:21 from 67.104.0.92

but burt you were honking for different reasons.

From Burt on Thu, Jul 09, 2009 at 12:41:52 from 68.76.197.194

Guffaw! I never! I'm just mean. Especially to cyclists that aren't in the bike lane.

From Merri on Thu, Jul 09, 2009 at 12:50:56 from 67.104.0.92

I swear I saw a bumper sticker on your car that said something like Honk if you're... I can't remember what the rest of it said.

From Burt on Thu, Jul 09, 2009 at 12:56:00 from 68.76.197.194

No that was someone else. I just slow way down and drool out the window.

Do you ever go on the Discussion Forum? Here's a thread I started about 11 months ago.

Leandra we all have the secret weapon called 'the bird'. Well, except those without fingers. But you should've used it on the honker. Those jerks....

From Leandra on Thu, Jul 09, 2009 at 16:46:20 from 70.56.109.202

OH lily! I can not even tell you how much I wanted to! I just thought of it too late because I was startled by the honk, he seriously came out of nowhere and honks at me? how dare he, jk kind of.

Burt, I just looked at your thread, I don't ever look at the discussion forum but that is crazy because I look at stephanies blog: nieniedialogues.blogspot.com all the time. She is completely amazing and I love the way she writes too. She's completely honest but yet understanding that God has a plan for her.

From Burt on Thu, Jul 09, 2009 at 16:57:47 from 68.76.197.194

I noticed you had a friend on your FaceBook named Stephanie Nielson (although I don't think it's the same one) while I was trying to see if Merri had a FB (not like she'd add me anyway, but I could try.) She lives in Provo now, so probably close to you. She is awesome. How is it that you follow her blog?

From Merri on Thu, Jul 09, 2009 at 17:45:54 from 67.104.0.92

Burt I'm not cool enough for FB :( wah wah wah. I read Stephanie's blog too. she's amazing!

From Leandra on Thu, Jul 09, 2009 at 17:56:36 from 70.56.109.202

I actually found out about her and her blog from Merri. Everything I do, I do because Merri does it. I've accepted that I just wanna be her.

Except finally I have something she doesn't! FB!!!

From Lily on Thu, Jul 09, 2009 at 18:03:12 from 67.104.1.127

Come on Merri, everybody face books!

From Merri on Thu, Jul 09, 2009 at 18:09:01 from 67.104.0.92

then today is the day ladies...and burt. if you're jumping off a cliff I'm jumping too. :) Love me, hate me, say what you want about me, cuz facebook here I come.

From Merri on Thu, Jul 09, 2009 at 18:17:07 from 67.104.0.92

Oh and just so everyone is aware...Lani is famous for incidents w/ cars and 4 way stops :) I'm not sure how much of her story I can really believe...
