Quick and Dirty

April 28, 2008

After running nearly 7K (4.4mi) on Saturday (in 55 minutes) I actually pumped my fist in the air, high fived Homie G and cheered, like a total dork. I don’t care though - it’s the longest I’ve ever gone and we came really close to meeting the goal she made for me. Our goal was 7K in 55 minutes and we accidentally cut off 0.3K because Homie G gave the map to the other team members. Whoops. I owe my ass a jog around a parking lot or something.

We ran through downtown and I hope we never do that again. The number of people smoking on the street made me want to puke. I’m sorry but if you see a purple-faced, fat-assed mom huffing and puffing her way up the street, the least you could do is keep the smoke in your black lung-age rather than blow it in her sweaty face. It won’t be the cigarette that kills you, you inconsiderate douchenheimer. Ugh.

The last leg of the run was down a very steep hill back into the Gibbons Park. It was shin-splinty and hurty but I ended by sprinting because Homie G doesn’t like it when you fall in a heap on the pavement after a run - she wants you to SPRINT. There’s a special place in hell for that kind of behaviour. Someone ought to tell her. I would but I’m still out of breath.

The funnest part of Saturday was putting not one, not two, but THREE bottles of power steering fluid into our car and watching it piss out the bottom before I could go anywhere. It’s still in the shop and today we should get it back after we hand over an arm, a leg and a tit.

Thomas is sick with a head cold that has rendered what’s coming out of his nose suitable for a Ghostbusters extra should there be another sequel. He also has what looks like a spider bite on his back so I Googled to see what I could do about that. I accidentally on purpose hit “image search.” Don’t do that, okay?

I have a ton of work to tackle this week so posting will be quick and dirty like this. I’m stressed out a touch but I’m handling it well, but if you don’t comment here at Sugarpants and at Work It Mom, I’ll break your freaking neck.

    Ha Ha…douchenheimer!! I so want to use that.

    And .3K is farther than I could run any day, so you know I think you are doing AWESOSME with that running around in circles thingy. (I am PROUD of YOU, and totally JEALOUS.)

    Good luck with the car. Maybe if you show them your TIT you won’t have to surrender it?

    My total for all of last week was only 23K, and if I ever got going faster than 3K/hr I’d probably end up in a cardboard box (I plan on having an eco-funeral). So go ahead and pump your fist all you want to ’cause you earned it. Also, tell Thomas I hope he gets better soon :)
