Sunday Blog Buffet

For some reason, I find myself blogging a lot on Sundays. I think it goes back to my procrastination habits and usually, blogging is a lot more fun than cleaning, packing for my MN/WI trip tomorrow, hauling the Xmas tree out of storage, doing work work, running 10 miles, or talking to most of my relatives on the phone (Sundays are when they all call me- I know, I know... that was harsh) There are times that it is really pointless to sit on the phone and basically talk about nothing.

Let me break it down. My life is both incredibly simple and complex. Definitive, right? I travel every week for work (which I love), I run, I pay my bills and do laundry, and I like to hang out with friends when I have time. Through subtle hinting and comments, I think a lot of my family members are just waiting to hear the magic words from me, "Yes, I've met someone! Yes, we're getting married! Yes, we are having x number of children! My life is now complete!" No offense to anybody- but that it not what will make me feel complete. Yes, that will be a nice complement to my existing life- but there is soo much more out there for me right now.

So- (insert name of relative)- quit asking me! I will be sure to invite you to my wedding one day and you can dance to Kool and the Gang and drink all the bourbon you want... on my dime! :)

OK, I know that was a heavy blog to read- especially when I am supposed to be writing something about running, right?

The weather outside looks crappy- it is bleak (bleek?) and looks cold. I will admit- I have not been outside yet. I had planned on running 10 miles today- my ankle is still a little sore from yesterday and I think I might actually can my long run this week and just focus on a couple shorter runs this week in anticipation of Saturday's half. Hal Higdon might not approve though- I have been following his lead since May when I started running again. Oh well... I guess I should also explain one of the MAIN reasons why I do not feel like running today. Maybe these photos from last night will explain it better than words:







Yes, that is me in the front middle with the umbrella behind my ear. You can't hide class.

I find myself wondering today who actually reads these blogs. Who sort of demographics make up my readership? Men? Women? Single? Married? 6 mile pace? 12 mile pace? Possibly reading this blog during recreational time in prison? (no thanks)

So... in a gallant attempt to find out who the hell you are... tell me a little something about yourself. I promise I don't bite :)
