I had every intention of running home again from work.  But I tried to do a million things this morning.  I cut my hair.  I missed a nice patch in the back.  I packed my duffel bag.  I checked the fluids in my vehicle.  I scraped the ice off my windshield.  I had to get gas.  I needed to email out the plans I finished last night, and my internet was acting up.  I needed to pack my lunch, but we didn't have anything.  I was running all over the place and ultimately forgot to grab my duffel bag.  I was mad and honked my horn in a school zone.  I got to work on that road rage thing.

Anyway, I suited up when I got home and went out for 7.  I'm running real slow these days, but at least I'm running.  I joined a Del Sol Ragnar team last night.  It should be interesting.  The name leaves something to be desired.  I'm too embarrassed to say what it is.  I shouldn't have committed until I knew what the name was.  Let that be a lesson to you kids.  Funny because two weeks ago I was invited to be on another team.  The problem was I know that this team snuck alcohol in their coffee mugs so they could drink out on the course.  I emailed the team captain and said that as an ambassador for Ragar, I can't knowingly be on a team that's going to break the rules.  I never heard back from them so I joined this other team.

Alcohol + running = disaster.

Good miles! Sorry about the road rage.

I'm glad a closet lush like you agrees. Oops. It's not in the closet anymore.

I drink much, much less than the average Midwestern Catholic. 1 drink every few months is about my tolerance level. That's abnormal for people in my circle.

So what's the name? I can tell you're dying to tell...

From Burt on Fri, Feb 01, 2013 at 12:55:17 from 71.216.109.214

Thanks for clearing up that nasty rumor I was about to spread about you. I still reserve the right to start it again at a later date.

As for the name, if you're lucky, I'll text it to you. Do you feel lucky?

From Ericka on Fri, Feb 01, 2013 at 13:05:36 from 24.2.87.24

drinking while running sounds like the worst time to be had!

From Burt on Fri, Feb 01, 2013 at 15:19:41 from 71.216.109.214

Ericka - I wouldn't know. I guess I'm more opposed to the drinking and driving thing. I've got a sister that lives with me who has brain damage due to her ex-husband drinking and driving. No bueno :(

wow, drinking in the van illegally, on the course, on the road, at night, with no sleep, tired from running, with runners/pedestrians/targets everywhere, and your road rage...what could go wrong? I don't know why you left that team.

Nice 7 miles though! Text me the name of your team too. My number is 911-1234.

Hold the phone "I scraped the ice off my windshield"?!? I didn't think you had ice down there.

From Burt on Fri, Feb 01, 2013 at 19:39:39 from 72.223.80.89

Joe - I'll just call you.

Chad - It's a sign of the times.
