I was so freakin busy this morning playing the carpool guy and then returning shingles and checking on jobs etc.  I really wanted to try to get in 10 this morning but it wasnt going to happen. I ended up doing it late tonight around Daybreak temple.  Nice and cool temps and it got dark quick.  Lots of people I recognize waved to me before it got too dark.  I can only imagine what conversation goes on when I run past them. "There goes that skinny guy again"  When my neighbors stop to talk to me they always ask if Im worried about my weight and I act like im obsesed with my weight with responses like I feel really bloated and chubby!  Do I look like im taking on weight a bit to you? Be honest.  lol

Next time I will have to let you know when I am down there! Saturday was really good. There is just something about people exerting themselves so much like that. It was really good, and I haven't raced in a long long time so it was good to remember how much harder I need to work to get out there and really run! You are the bomb.com at running!

Walter - That is hilarious. Most guys don't opening obsess about their weight like that! My husband is a stick. He makes me look fat in family pictures (dang him!). And I don't think I am fat... until I get a picture of the two of us next to eachother. O-well! :o)

Camilla, its good to do short races to get your speed up and see where you are against other runners. They are good for tempo and speed workouts.

Camille, I only do it because if you saw me in person you would realize my sarcasm. I am anorexic looking. My legs are sticks.

Actually Walter, I was thinking more like pencils. Ha,ha. You kicked butt this morning. Although I knew you would. Once again, you made me feel like a turtle. I kind of was this morning though. Didn't feel my best.

That's funny, acting like you're obsessed with your weight when people ask! If it ever gets brought up at a picnic, or dinner with guests, you should excuse yourself from the table several times right after eating something and head for the bathroom, then come back with a little food stuck to your chin, hahaha!

Michelle, You did simply awesome today. dont discredit yourself because I lapped you and made you feel less of a woman. Besides would it make you run faster if I told you next time Ill smack you on the butt, oops I mean butte, when I pass you? lol Keep up the good work. You will be surprised how well these workouts help you!

JD-Thats classic! Wait for a ward party and get some fake vomit going. It always bugs my wife when I ask her if I look fat to her! Im feeling a bit heavy, do I look like ive gained a bit back here? lol

Wally, pick up the pace, add on the miles, and you will get rid of that baby fat. (That is what my mother always called it!!)

nice work! Jillzo.

From walter on Tue, Sep 09, 2008 at 23:08:52

Jillzo, am I vertically challenged? jk, yeah, I actually had a girl that sat next to me in Health class in High school that died of anorexia. I remember kids in school staring at me after our assembly on anorexia and bolemia. One of my teachers even pulled me aside to ask questions about it. I probably ate more calories in a day than that damn teacher did! lol Im glad to see you back on the up and up manizzil.
