I was so excited when I finished my eight-mile run today and my watch said 1:19:12. Woo Hoo. Except a 9:52 pace was a little too unrealistic. So I sat my stinky butt down at the computer and used the g-map pedometer to figure my distance. Damn, I forgot a loop. Sometimes I forget I’m directionally challenged. I only ran 6.88 miles – which put me at a much more believable 11:32 pace. So I hopped on the PIMP and whipped out another 1.5 miles in 9 minutes 28 seconds per mile (which makes it a total of 14 minutes and 12 seconds) – I can rock a treadmill in the nice and cool air-conditioning like nobody’s business. Well, at least for a mile and a half I can.
Anyhow, to make things a little more fun today I took my camera and took pictures of the things I see on my run; all the nice and boring blazing hot whole lot of nothing but dry grass and farm animals. I feel more retail therapy coming soon. I miss the city.

That donkey has a shape like me.

“more long and boring. They all look alike” made me laugh…I don’t know why, but it did.
Girl, you rock for coming indoors and running MORE. I don’t know how you do it! (I’m getting repetitive in my comments, aren’t I?)
I would spend all day running in the heat if it were that gorgeous! I’m certain you are truly a sub-10-minute-miler but there are so many distractions that it slows you down just a little bit! I mean ponies and pictures have to count for at least a minute a piece… right?!
8 miles of boredom totally outweigh 0 miles of suck (business travel
). Every day you abuse your body is another day when you can go to bed knowing you won.
…In high school this made for ackward moments, but that’s a different story….
Nice job on the run. I was going to do 8 miles on the 8th for the virtual race, but I don’t know if I can do the distance. I haven ran since my “Near” 4 miler last friday. blech.
Flatman beat me to it.
I want a road photo with your shadow in it doing a handstand. That would be cool.
We could use some rain too.
Bonus points for doing the extra mile-plus.
