Sometimes when I run...

...I don't tie my shoes tight enough, and I have to fix them a half mile into the run
...I stop paying attention and run off my intended course
...I feel like I'm 10 feet tall, when I'm only 5'1"
...Think about medieval history
...Plan ahead for meetings
...Have no thoughts at all
...Fantasize about winning a marathon
...Think about the marathons I would like to run someday
...Sing along with my iPod
...Run with a friend
...Run alone
...Think about my form
...Am waiting for every mile marker
...Suddenly end up at home
...Run like a kid
...Pump my arms a la Rocky
...Play chicken with cars
...Do lunges after
Today when I ran:
...I had to fix my shoes at mile 4
...I did think about my form
...I chased the sunrise
...Ran alone
...Picked up my pace to the beat of "A Chorus Line"
...Smiled during Michael Buble's "Haven't Met You Yet"
...Sang along to The Ronettes' "Please Mr. Postman"
...Came home to hot coffee and cinnabuns
...Wore the shirt I wore for my first marathon
...Recalled my first marathon
...Did my 20 lunges

Best wishes to all of those racing this weekend! And good luck to all of those doing their 20 milers before MCM!
