True. Better to run after lunch or breakfast.
Weekends I always run after breakfast. A bagel sits a whole lot better than pizza.
I never run after a meal. I run either before the sun comes out (when pigs fly) or before dinner.
4 with hubby after Pilates. I cannot breathe outside. Time to switch everything to indoors.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

All Comers meet.
I'm tired and feel slow!
1 mile : suck-age never felt right - 5:13
400m : less suck-age - quads started locking up in last 100m - 60.23
5.4ish on the trails this evening, 3 of us went long and wrong, with other competitors running less? than the advertised 5 miles.
I purposely skirted wide of the finish line and clearly stated that I'd DNF. The conversation went something like this:
Me: "DNF, just put me at the end if you have to so no one thinks I'm still out there."
Timing guy: "I have a time for you." *sticks my pull tag in 20th or some ridiculous shit.*
Me: "I don't want a time!" .. and he just walked away. I don't think I could have been much more clear.
I don't care that we went the wrong way. It was still fun to race two guys on a similar level -- one beat me, one did not. I do care that I purposely did not finish the race and was given a time and place against my wishes. Lesson learned - next time refuse to turn over my pull tag and just sprint to the car.
