I made my second attempt at the tempo run last night, this time trying to follow the words of wisdom from J-Woww: "...you should be able to talk in short phrases." So I did just that. Literally. I built up for about the first3 miles, and when I reached the 4th mile, I tried to start a convo with Gymmy. "How was your day today? What did you have for dinner? What are your plans for the weekend?" But he wasn't so talkative - he just glanced back at me occasionally, looking as if he wanted to ask me, "Why are you talking to yourself, psycho?" Hmph. Well, I did get down to a 8:12 pace for the 4th mile, and was able to "hold a convo" so I was happy.
Then this morning, I got my usual (bagel w/ cream cheese & coffee) from Timmy Horton's. I was about to throw away my cup when my coworker asked me if I "rolled up my rim" of my cup to see if I won anything. Pshhht, I never win anything...that is, until today!! I won a *gasp* FREE CUP OF COFFEE!!
This is turning out to be one helluva Friday :)
Sounds like today is your lucky day....
ReplyDeleteFor future if you want to talk to gymmy while running, just pretend to answer for him...
"that dog food was really good yuko... did you put some fish oil/I mean seasoning in it?"
