Still running...

[indigo_rose99]

Saturday I ran 2.62 miles. It took me a while, but I did it! I know, that is not an impressive amount over the previous Saturday (2.6 miles), but in my defense: Running is boring! And running farther means I have more time to be bored! I have no idea how most runners stand the tedium.

Tuesday I ran a respectable ~1.5 miles. On weekdays I'm time-limited, so to get the distance I have to go faster. And faster is.... Well, I'm working up to it.

All working up to the Zombie Run! In December. During which I may be in the Philippines. But that doesn't matter, because today I got an email from the Zombie Run folk. It is cancelled. Cancelled! *wail of woe* But I've worked so hard for it!

I am determined to run 5K this year. T is in. Got any suggestions for runs coming up in the next month?

Most people run outside. I find it to be much less boring. It's not that the scenery is so fascinating or that I am outrunning rabid dogs or dodging potholes. Actually the scenery is a little interesting, even just running in my neighborhood, plus I end up thinking about stuff instead of just watching the clock not go anywhere. I don't know how anyone can stand to run on a treadmill unless maybe they have perfectly-timed music.

To Indigo Rose's friends, to fix this problem and also the problem of T being out of town at different times than Indigo Rose will be out of town, I have already volunteered to dress up as Zombie T and chase her around the house, but she was not impressed. (I can't help thinking of Zombie T letting loose high-pitched giggles while he stumbles toward you asking for "Brains! Brains!!")

Ooh, I could be convinced to fly in to dress up as a zombie to chase Indigo Rose around the block! Sounds like fun!

Around the block? Ok, I could be in.

Volunteers to video the silliness?
