"You're not a LOSER ... you're just RESPONSIBLE!"

I was going to meet some friends for a BBQ this evening. But I chose not to, letting my friend know that I was just going to be a loser tonight. She responded with ... "You're not a LOSER ... you're just RESPONSIBLE"... ahh. Responsible? Is it fun being responsible?

There are numerous factors for me wanting to "lay low" tonight. Such as ...

... Getting in a run. I couldn't stand the thought of 2 days off in a row ...

... Getting up early Saturday morning for a Swim/Bike Brick ...

... Watching the first game of the Twins - Red Sox series ...

... catching up on reading the last 2 months RW magazines ...

... catching up on y'alls blogs ...

... Resting, both mentally and physically ...

I think it will be okay to be a responsible, lazy SOB, tonight. Tomorrow night will probably be different!

I had planned on participating in Nancy's 10K on the 10th. I thought for sure it would be a great distance to do the weekend before my first half. That was before my left knee started acting up. I went to the gym today for a run, telling myself that if there was no soreness what-so-ever after 3 miles, I would try for 6.2. Well, at about 3.5 miles I was starting to feel a little soreness and just didn't want to chance it the week before the big race. I couldn't. Damnit. Next one for sure, Nancy! I will be hear to be everyone's cheerleader!

I am also looking for good tunes to run to for the half. If you could share a song or two of yours that you really like to run to, I would greatly appreciate it!

ORN: 4.04 miles, 47:12 minutes, 11:40 min/mile
