My MIL recently gave me a birthday card that said:
"Know what they call people your age running marathons?"
>
"Obstacles."
You know, I'm not totally sure I could jump over an obstacle or hurdle while running.

Woman at work to me today: "Running the half marathon for you Saturday must have been easy. Only 13 miles."

For those of you recall, I run the Hernia Hill Half every year. Last year, I ran into one of the younger women who ran the 10K while we were out wine tasting. She still had her medal around her neck, so I asked how she liked the race, she said it was really hard. She then asked what distance I had run. When I said the half marathon, she said -- dead serious -- "Oh, I should have run that instead. It would have been much easier." When queried further as to why, she thought because it was longer, the hills would be a smaller part of the race.
Life is good.
From the Internet.
I do the same thing to my poor ancient Siamese cat - it's like she positions herself with the sole intent of tripping me when she gets hungry.
George, wow you do win! Lol
lol - I am sure she said it in a matter of fact manner too. lol
Super B****
That... uh... is true. Kinda.
chasing the impossible
because i never shut up ... i blog
Except, on this particular course there's a monster hill on the non-10K part. In any event, I didn't argue the point, but told her she should sign up for the half next year.
