Runner Susan

Just a quick post

By

Tuesday
I made it to the gym to do my first ever fartlek run since high school. 30 min of 2×1 with a 5 min warm up and cool down.

Wednesday
Did yoga in the morning to discover that I have the tightest hamstrings in the entire world. Decided to do some cross-training at the mall only to discover that I am the victim of identity theft. My check visa card number was stolen and someone in Florida spent nearly $3,000.00 in less than an hour out of my checking account. THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS. $877 at a Winn-Dixie, $830 at Home Depot and the list goes on. Who the hell spends that much money at the grocery!! Someone with a stolen card I reckon. No need for me to explain how upset I am about this. That’s 20 less pairs of shoes for Shopper Susan until I get this situation corrected. This would be much easier if it were a credit card and not my visa check card!

Thursday
Kicked some serious ass during a tempo run – 5 miles in 47:33. Mile 4 was 9:02 and Mile 5 was 9:00. Ran at 5AM with Karrie, Richard and his bw runner Diane! Everyone had a great run. It’s nice to have a group again.

Friday
Today will be a cross-training day – I’m not sure exactly what I’m going to do yet – but it will involve me spending a lot of time at the bank. ugh.

I’m planning my last 20 mile run on Monday. YAY!

If I didn’t have gerbils gnawing at my ovaries preventing me from giving birth to another child, I would name my first born son after a geek called Jeff with a running blog named Boingo

  1. Because Jeff patiently spent many hours to set up this really groovy Moveable Type template just for me.
  2. Jeff was the nicest person in the world after wannabe geek Susan went into the template like a boyscout with a new hatchet and chopped up a few things – once or twice or twenty times . . . and frantically requested geekly assistance.
  3. The Breaking the Tape workout log Jeff developed totally ROCKS. Check out my left sidebar!
  4. Because Jeff thinks it’s cool that my husband called me a dork for getting so excited about my new blog.
  5. And, the biggest reason of all – he WEARS A SUPERHERO CAPE!

Now, I have all my blogs rolled into one, so much easier to manage. Bookmark me, blogline me, and comment on me here! Yay.

Thanks Jeff! I love, love, love my new blog!!!

That which involves the rolling of eyes

By Leave a Comment

Today I abide by the 11th commandment – “be ye not so stupid” as to blog certain things.

I would gladly sacrifice all my cashmere to chronicle such events, but that would most likely be the end of Runner Susan – I happen to like her, so I won’t. Just keep in mind these events involve the rolling of eyes, biting of tongue and pursing of lips by Susan – as for they interfered with Susan’s tasting of wines and training on hills.

Am running – exhausted though. T-day only involved only 3 miles since I could not manage to roll myself any further. So I am exchanging days and will run seven today and ten tomorrow – I will reach 40 this week.

You make it sound as though you are part of one of those religions where they dance with snakes and eventually end up drinking kool-aid.
Run, Susan, run.

My curiosity about the rolling of eyes and biting of tongues is very high.
You still plan to hit 40 this week? Okay!

all that matters is the volume… how you get to it, not so much… plus, your frequency is outstanding — keep it up Susan, you’re a huge inspiration to many!

Run on Susan! You can and will hit the 40 mile mark regardless of that which involved the rolling of the eyes. We’re curious though…what could that possibly be?

Nice job, Susan! What a week! You are inspiring me. I didn’t run on T-day, and had a so-so run on Friday…one not even worth blogging about. Good luck on the 10 tomorrow!

Oh my. Such the tease. You know, Dooce would never say you can’t email each and every one of us and tell us the story. 🙂

Then again, she did get fired.

Great job on the 40 miles this week!

I must say Susan, you have the most interesting blogs on your stalker list 🙂

I’m curious about that cleansing stuff… maybe I’ll give it a go.

I know what you mean, some people I know in “real life” read my blog every day and there are some things I would LOVE to share with you guys that I can’t due to the aforementioned people. Happy Belated T-giving! Gobble Gobble!!

Funny enough, I have been thinking the same thing. Training blogs should remain training blogs.

I shall take a page out of your notebook of wisdom.
