Update and a Laugh

So I have been a bit of a bad blogger, but it is summer and life gets busy!  Last Wednesday I decided to try out my legs a little (prematurely) for a shorter speedier run.  Besides proving to myself that I am longer in the awesome shape that I was three months ago I managed to stress out my right quad.

I am a little mad at myself for that one.  The good news is that I did something smart afterwards and rested Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and did the elliptical Sunday (I'm not perfect) and then took it out for an easy run today.

5 miles at about 9 min/mile pace and it felt pretty darn good.  YAY.  So since I work tomorrow it will be another rest day tomorrow.  In retrospect a cut back week about now (or last week) is really a good idea. I have ran a lot more miles in July than I did in June.  I am not keeping track right now I just know.

In other random news I went to a small outdoor concert for Brenn Hill Friday night and had a great time with my husband. Super huge bonus points to anyone who has heard of him.
and some things that made me laugh today.  From Runner's World's 25 Worst Questions to Ask a Runner.   Which ones are your fav?  These  are mine.





 and number one on my list.

    All of those questions crack me up. I think my co workers think I am from another planet so they have stopped asking me random questions. :-)

    I think I will just say yes when people ask me if I'm fast from now on!
    How far is your marathon - made me gasp!
    I also gasped when I read about your quad, thankfully it is settling down, it must have decided to remind you not too much too soon!

    I liked all the questions too. That's too bad about your quad. I'm glad to read that you did the right thing and took days off afterwards and got the reward of a nice run afterwards! ;)

    I love that runners world post. Do you think those are stock photos they found? That makes it that much more funny.

    Last year at the AF marathon we went to the after party on the Greene. Some drunk lady in the bathroom asked me why so many people had "matching necklaces," meaning the medals. After telling her about the marathon, and explaining that's why there was a party at the Greene in the first place, she goes, "Oh. Did you win?" And then she asked how far it was. TRIFECTA!!!!!!

    Sorry about the quad giving you some trouble. I'm torn between How far is your marathon? and So did you win? as a favorite.
