I love the track. I love speed work. I love that I can get a fantastic workout in and it doesn’t take five hours. And the track loves me back by utilizing my genetically gifted super fast twitch muscles. You know, those muscles those Boston Marathoners don’t have many of but I have lots of. I’m not getting new legs any time soon so I better sam hell learn to love what I got.
Today was 800m warm up, 2000m at a 7:56 pace (I rock), 800m medium pace, 1600m at another sub-8 minute pace (rock again), and then a 400m cool down right as the rain rolled in. Perfect timing for sprinkles.
I’m just all about the love today. I’m especially loving this: I received an email from the race director of the half marathon that I bailed on because of the rain and it said the race was canceled due to flooding – and the entrants get FREE entry into the September Half they are putting on. How awesome is that? Love it.
I even shared the love with my dear friend, Jeanne. I love Jeanne. I think I’m going to add a “Ask Runner Susan” button to my blog because my love has no bounty.
And with that love in mind, I’m going to share a blond joke with you. Kenza is all about the blond jokes right now. She especially thinks it’s funny because she’s blond and smart. She thinks it’s even funnier to tell them to other blonds. Like her mother.
A blond girl gets off the school bus and was so excited when she got home to tell her mom what they learned at school. “Mommy, Mommy, guess what? We learned to count today and I could count to 15 and all the other girls could only count to 10. Is it because I’m blond, Mommy?” And the mother replies, “Yes Dear, it’s because you are blond.”
The next day the blond girl gets off the school bus and was equally excited. “Mommy, Mommy, guess what? We learned the alphabet today and I could say the letters all the way to L and the other girls only learned to G. Is it because I’m blond, Mommy?” And the mother replies, “Yes Dear, it’s because you are blond.”
The third day the blond girl gets off the school bus and was excited once again. “Mommy, Mommy, guess what? We had our very first swim lesson today and I was the only girl with breasts and the other girls didn’t have any at all. Is it because I’m blond, Mommy? And the mother replies, “No Dear, it’s because you are 25.”
The things kids hear at school. I’m sure worse is to come. Now, I’ve got to see about getting some time in on the rollers. The Chef’s HHH plan is calling my name and it’s still raining. I have a feeling the rollers might spoil the love thing I got going on.

Speedy Susan!
I think you deserve to be speedy because you have more than paid your dues running so many marathons and other races!
You go girl!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blond (also spelled blonde) or fair-haired , is a hair color characterized by low levels of the dark pigment eumelanin. The resultant visible hue depends on various factors, but always has some sort of yellowish color, going from the very pale blond caused by a patchy, scarce distribution of pigment, to reddish “strawberry” blond colors or golden-brownish blond colors, the latter with more eumelanin.
Love the blonde joke!
And you are rockin’ those speed sessions on the track. Way to go Susan!
Your times are good because your boobs cross the finish line sooner. That’s what Jeanne says.
Rockin the sub 8’s!!! Way to go.
Here’s a joke my auburn haired 19 year old daughter told me yesterday.
Q: Mom, do you know why Snoop Dog needs an umbrella?
Me: No, why?
A: Fo’ drizzle.
I think she may be a blond in disguise.
That was a great joke.
I’m going to have to tax your brain on how to give me the help you gave Jeanne because I lack what men want so what ever will you do with THAT??
Good one Kenza. We like good blonde jokes down here. Not the sam hell sure what it’s got to do with running, but I’ll pass it on.
I wish they’d throw some 100s into the mix and you could really show them how super fast-twitch non-Boston muscles work!
I stumbled on your blog while searching for others that run and for simple entertainment…I just have to say thanks…I’ve bookmarked you for your humor- thanks for being funny Oh, and talking about running of course. 😉
