Conversation With Emily #92

I'm back to blogging again. Will it last? Who knows? Stick around and find out.

Tonight Emily and I were flipping through the channels and she wanted to watch some show about hoarders. About ten minutes later I had watched enough.

Me (opening laptop): You know this room we're in looks like it could be on the show.

Emily: I know. We do have a lot of surface areas covered. I've seen enough of this show. I feel like cleaning the house... or making a bigger mess around here.

And she opted for the latter and is making a big mess in the kitchen. But that means oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are on the way!!

Me: Michele Bachmann said carbon dioxide is a harmless gas.

Emily: Well then maybe someone should fill her house with carbon dioxide.

Editor's Note: Yes, Michele Bachmann really said that.

Random Question #327

Why the hex am I running another effing marathon in ten days?

Twins Win!!!

Last night, Emily and I made our annual trek to the Metrodome for one game in the Twins' home opening series. This year's trip was not as eventful as last year's trip to Opening Day (no blizzard to drive through and I wasn't on TV this time), but the game was way more exciting.

But this is will probably be the last home opener series Emily and I will go to for some time. We will miss the Metrodome. And maybe we're the only people in Minnesota who feel this way. Actually, Emily says she won't miss it. So maybe I am the only person who will miss the Metrodome.

Back in the Saddle

I was thinking maybe... I should start blogging again. I have nothing to say in this post. But I'll gradually get back into it.

Facebook has basically killed my blog. But I can do both.

OBAMA!!!

Last night was very exciting.

Maybe Obama can do something about that horrible 0-3 start to the Spurs season. That's change that all of South Texas needs. I hope I don't have to wait until Inaugration Day for the that change to happen.

Too Tired to Write, Too Lazy To Race

So pictures from the TC5k from last weekend (courtesy of Nasty Nate) will have to do.

Whatever goes up....



must come down.


These pictures were taken at the same spot of out-and-back course. Nathan was probably at the 1/2 mile mark (which would be the 2.5 mile mark as we came down the hill). What I find remarkable is the guy in the blue and I are pretty much in same spot in both pictures. We probably switched spots four or five times and gapped one another at least twice. But you wouldn't know it from these pictures.

Maybe we could all save each other a lot time and energy in a 5k and just race for half a mile. Does your place really change that much after that? Well of course I know the answer is YES (especially since I'm someone who tries to sit in the weeds for two miles), but you know, like all distance runners, I'm actually a lot lazier than people think.

Let's just run a half mile with mentality and pace that we're running a 5k and stop there! We can call it the Lazy Mike 5k.
