- Katy had me worried that kangaroos were going to attack me.
- Five miles yesterday plus ten miles today equal 23 miles in my world.
- My calves and arches are still cramping. It stared on track torture day, WTF? I normally save this great pleasure for miles 18-26 on race day so I can experience the joy all at once. Why share it now?
- My hair looked especially fine this morning, even after sleeping on it all night. Putting it in a ponytail for 23 miles would have been disrespectful to my head.
- I’m so very tired.
- Michael was making breakfast burritos – and seriously folks – the man can cook – you’d hurry home too.
- My super speedy runner friend Marta will be in town next weekend and one Marta mile is like 20 Susan miles. We might ride bulls too. That goes for at least 30 miles of running. And great videography.
- Last night I saw a pig cooked on a stick. I had nightmares and didn’t sleep well. (Which might also explain the fineness of my hair this morning.)
- Thanks to Sister Runner Amy, my OCD self couldn’t stop reading this blog and I got a late start. This might be the greatest blog of all time. (Excluding the greatness of Dooce worshiping, of course)
- I finished in 20th out of 46th place in my age group of the Hottest Half. Which puts me in the top 50% of my age group. Which means for the first time in my life I was BETTER THAN AVERAGE in a race. Which means my training is officially over and all I need to do is show up in Chicago and run my 3-hour marathon. Easy. Peasy.
- I needed to spend a little extra time hating Ann Coulter this morning. Because the hate we share in this world for Ann Coulter is what makes the world go round – and the burden of individually halting Earth’s rotation is more than I can handle.
- I’m evil and I want the Sarah Palin rumor to be true.

Who DOESN’T know that 5 + 10 = 23?
Duh.
Take it and run
next
time.
#8 would scare the hell out of me too.
Congratulations on #10!
#6 FTW!
Thanks for 9 and 12…Now where did that hour go??? (I mean seriously Sarah Palin? WTF???)
I’m willing to go with 10 = 23…any humid day of the week (I’m sick of humidity too!)
oh oh oh, you need to see the devil room. then go to the link and check on other rooms. there’s an orange room with a table pushed into the corner. weird.
thanks for that addiction.
you’re always better than average, if not faster. that’s what i say. everyone who beats me must be a secret wanker. that keeps me fired up and bitchy for the rest of the race.
That blog is hilarious.
Well, even better than the rumor–her teenage (17 year old) daughter is pregnant. The McCain camp say they knew that before he chose her as VP. I SO do not believe that…
Nice job on #10…
… in regards to #12, I take it you are not a fan of Palin? me either.
Do you believe Palin was covering?
Maybe her daughter was suffering from #5.
You had a strange day there young lady.
My sister sent me the daily Kos thing and then said it was a fake. I think given the Downs syndrome that baby is hers although how she hid it is a mystery.
Here’s a little something to stroke your hatred of Ann Coulter.

Henry Rollins is Da Man!
#8 ewwww
#10 you rule!!!
Damn, I missed your blog this past month. But I feel much better now I’m all caught up.
I hate Ann Coulter so much I can’t even open the link to find out what she’s been up to lately. I like to pretend she doesn’t exist.
Thanks Susan!
You’re on the way to the front of your age-group Susan!
There’s an angry kangaroo problem in Texas too? Pretty rare down here – I’m more worried about swooping magpies.
Sarah Palin will be a good asset for Obama… just the thought of her falling into the head hockey mom job, um, I mean commander in chief.
LOL @ 11 and 12. And you were good to run the miles that you did. I did a 10K and almost died. Especially after realizing that the “mile” markers were “kilometer” markers. Heaven help me!
