wow what a run tonight. At least I think it was. I forgot to look at the time when we started and although we didn't start out too fast, by the end we we're blazing and my legs are toast. Six miles but I have no idea what pace.
I meant to go to the early group run at 6.00, but was busy...ok I was stuck on the toilet. But made it to the 7.00 start. Lots of faces and we chat for a while. Ex girlfriend Debbi is there, shes her usual weird self. Pretty much ignores me unless SHE wants to say something. this time she was wanting to boast about her "boyfriend" and her new house they are building as a spec house. She had to say "boyfriend" like 30 times just to get the point across. She seemed pretty disappointed that I too was about to start a new construction project.
Jeff was there too, the guy that did some of the same tris as I did last year and who had the party a few weeks ago. he still has a knee problem and so wanted to go slower, humm sounds good to me, I'll do what ever run group he goes with. Now spring is in full force there is about 3 different runs you can do with this same group, different mileage, different speed and different routes. So off we go and like I said it started out ok, but I think the combination of a new guy, (not me) and male testosterone gets everyone going. This new guy was at the back, checking out the competition I guess, when he figured he could take us he started to put a push on, this caused this one really fast guy to have to show the new guy just how fast he was and then the whole thing got out of control. It was awesome! lol. I held 4th place and kept these guys in sight, but I just couldnt catch them. My legs are soooo sore now.
Oh yeah after the run and everyone is standing around chatting, the other groups are either already there or coming in. I see Coleen and nod to her. She never did email me about going to a movie last year and Ive hardly seen her since then. So Im talking with some other folks and she comes up and starts chatting with me. Ok no biggie, its just chatting, but I do wonder what she is thinking, just being friendly I guess. She just got back from Boston and running that marathon, and she told me to come over the running store on Saturday as they are having a sale.
On top of this, I talked to Tim today and he's talking about going to the mountains on Friday to watch the Tour De Ga from Brasstown. He and a couple of guys are going up in the am and taking bikes and riding a few of the gaps before it all closes down, then heading up Brasstown to watch the pros. I told Jeff about it tonight and he;s thinking he might be able to go too. Shit ! If I go and have to ride with these guys, they are going to kill me on the gaps.
Spoke to Doug today too, and we made tentative plans to mountain bike on Sunday at Ft Yargo where the Xterra race is being held in a couple of weeks.
