Paying money to run away from home.

I encountered this at work today. I have no idea what this is about, but I fully support whatever it is.

So today is the one year anniversary of Nicole and I running with Nike+. Ironically, it fell right in the middle of my scheduled rest week off. So while Nicole got out, I stayed home and decided to "repair" the pieces of rubber falling off of my camera. I'm still a bit traumatized to go into full detail, but let's just say I'm probably not responsible enough to to use Super Glue. Long story short, I almost broke my camera tonight, but I managed to fix it with a screwdriver and gaffers tape. The end.

There are many things in life that I disapprove of. This is pretty high up on the list.

Did you read the story from 4-2-12? Well I went to a different location for lunch today. It was calm, there were no screaming children, and I won a prize from the claw machine.* Dreams do come true.

*Disregard the fact that I played a "play-til-you-win-(loser)" claw machine and that it took more than a handfull of attempts.

This sad melty bunny would like to remind you of all the poor chocolate bunnies who will lose their lives today...and end up in my belly.

It's pretty amazing to me that in the past year of running, I've taken around six minutes off of my first 5k time. If this rate of improvement continues, I should be a about a minute over the world record by this time next year. Also quite notable, Nicole placed and won a prize in her first race in her new age group...even after her stress fracture.

It's a full moon tonight. Just watch this with your speakers on.

I like that runners have cute names like "carbing up" for what normal people would call "eating like a fat cow." And that if you call it by that name instead, it makes doing it not only ok, but an important part of "training."

I like playing with Sienna because she gets really excited about doing weird stuff.

Already getting all ready.

This weekend Nicole and I went to eat at a restaurant that had a mini-arcade next to the dining area. Normally this would be a good thing since I like that kind of stuff. Normally. There's nothing normal about a mob of screaming children running around like howler monkeys while you're trying to eat breakfast. If I wanted that, I would have went to Chucke E. Cheese (actually that would probably be pretty fun). However, as we were eating, Nicole noticed that one of the urchins actually won a prize from a dinosaur claw machine. No one ever wins anything from claw machines. Too busy screaming to notice that he actually won, we quietly ate our meal while watching to see if the little monster or any of his cohorts checked the prize door. They never did. I probably could have retrieved the prize and made the poor child's day, and I definitely would have if he were politely sitting on his hands in the corner with his mouth closed. But he had long before reached a decibel level where he no longer deserved such an awesome prize. We deserved such an awesome prize for putting up with his shrieking. So yeah, we didn't technically steal from a little kid, but this suction cup ball has been stuck to my bedroom mirror for the past three days. I'm not sorry.
