Marathon Maniac #957
Add another item to the list of things that can go wrong on a run: a putrid deer carcass, festering in the swampy heat.
I saw two dead rats on the pavement along the river boardwalk. No idea what killed them - looked like they had been smashed, sort of. This on top what I would call the underlying stinky city smell - rotting trash and stinky pavement. I don't know exactly, but I'm sorry to say that New Orleans smells a lot worse in the early morning than it did last night, when the cooking smells predominated...
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

I guess I'll just take everything and decide when I get there. Okay, I'm just rambling...sorry...I'll check in tomorrow...if I make it.

MikeE,,,your race will be grand, but the greatest thing is the good time you are having with your son!
Do they make a blanket like that for humans?...cute dog, twocat. Your sister in law must have the patience of Methuselah to own and train that many dogs.
Happy to see that Holly is having fun in her conference. Are you learning much
Rob, you are doing a great job with the boys. I admire you and the role model you have been to your kids! Tough love is hard to give, but at times it is needed...
My son sent me a text message today...mama...mama...ran 18 miles today (finally I can breathe again!!! I was begin to wonder how we are going to cover 26.2 miles in three weeks if he has not ran anything longer than 14 miles...then again...this marathon is for the fun. His first one in Poland took him 6 hours...with much less training. There is hope for us to finish the Seattle Rock and Roll in sub 6.)
This marathon is for the memory, not for time and we will have fun. I am glad that divechief will be there to dance and run with us at every music stop). Sorry that dove won't be able to make it! I hope to see that taperboy, francesca and Enkie during that weekend as well.
Long day hard day at work today. One of those days that it makes you tired just looking at the schedule before you even start. I am just glad I had a brake for a breather at around 11am my time....I sure took advantage of the free time to do something "special" just for me. I must say...it was the best part of my day!
2 miles at the gym, plus core...got to keep on working on the six pack! I love post marathon laziness!
I wonder how lazy Erika has been this week...knowing her...NOT!(and that is why she is so much faster than the average butterfly )

Mike E. glad to hear things are going better than expected with your DS. Who knows, maybe he just has to get away from his peers to act human?
Tramps and Holly S. ok, ok no more road kill stories! My imagination is not happy about imagining what that smell was like!
Mariposai congratulations to your DS. Wait until the 20 mile text comes in!
hermosaboy I am in a coma. Where have you been?
hopeful4ever true kids + puppy = two very happy critters!
mainerunnah good luck with the race! A Friday night race is pretty unusual around here.
I am still comatose and hoping to avoid another elliptical slide. I am going for a test run later. Wish me luck!
Live like you are dying not like you are afraid to die.

I would say it's from the elyptical. For me, it starts with my feet and then progresses to my head whenever I spend more than 2.5 seconds on one.
I've been here all along...
