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.

Who Ordered So Many Damn Spoons? Who Do I Have To Talk To Around Here So I Can Get A Knife?

Irony:Sitting in front of the TV, watching 90 minutes of The Biggest Loser season finale, while mindlessly eating mediocre chocolate snowmen that some kid gave to me at work today as a Christmas gift. I would have been eating some caramel popcorn that had clumps of chocolate in it (another gift from a different kid), but Emily didn't bring those to me because the popcorn "had too many wrappers around it," and would therefore be too much of a pain in the ass for us to open. I like the way Emily thinks.
