OMG, Alex...yours might just be the funniest RR I have ever read! It's like my nightmare...and a big reason I set TWO alarms for every race--my PDA and my cell phone.
Ha. What a complicated morning! Was it fun? Did justice occur? Is it justice-y that you beat him? Perhaps. A race certainly has cojones to actually put "jog" in the title New alarm clock: good. Sore butt: Not so good.
We actually got into an argument over it in the car--I asked BF if he'd heard the alarm (wondering if I'd turned it off in my sleep, though I usually have some recollection of turning it off) and he hadn't. He then pointed out that I've been saying I'm going to get a new alarm clock for years, at least since the second alarm on it broke. I said years, really? and he said Yes. Years. My new one has an internal calendar. It knows when Daylight Savings Time ends. MTA: I have been informed that my alarm went off at 6pm (while I wasn't home). WHY GOD WHY.

Some people run due to a healthy sense of competition, but some run to prove in front of God, the clock and everybody that they are better than their boyfriends. I'll give you a minute to figure out which group I fell into today.

Oh, no...girl, you two need to get married. You sound just like a couple of comfortable old married farts. This is EXACTLY the sort of discussion that happens between did and I.
Then she was like, well, if you want to you can register at BB&B. Then she looks at ME and goes, ooooh, he's turning red! I wanted to say, yes, that's what happens when you ask someone personal questions you have no business asking in a public setting, but I just kinda went "heh" and left.
33:47 doesn't sound like a lot but I was officially going for sub-36 and secretly hoping for sub-35--I was surprised to say the least.
