5k 5k 5k 5 tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow!
So I'm really going to try to PR in the 5k tomorrow. I'm going to go out conservatively, make sure that to hit 100 or 200 too fast (24.5, 49) and run 1:38s the entire time.
Conditions are good. It might be raining. Do I care if it's raining? Competitively, no - the worse the conditions are, the better I'm going to place. Period. Because I'm just a lot tougher than the other girls out there. I want to run really fast, so I guess ideally, it wouldn't be raining. But it's spring - it could change.
The race conditions are even better. I got to practice today and my coach was relishing in his mysteriousness. "I left the performance list open on the computer in the fitness center. Check it!"
A. and I rushed up there... to find similarly interesting seeding situations. I'm the 5th seed of 12 5k runners. I'm not overseeded. There are two girls in front of me in 20:00-low, and a bunch of girls behind me in the 20:50 range. So I can go out conservatively and pick them off as a pack, if they run as a pack, or just one by one.
I am SO EXCITED!!

BREAK IT'S FACE!
Ok, I lied about the sign (check your facebook)
FACES ARE ON FACEBOOK
Eeeeeeee getting excited!!
Re: FACES ARE ON FACEBOOK
Also, I totally appreciate the tubs of Gatorade mix behind you, looks like my kitchen cabinet.
Also also, is that a green St. Patrick's Day type hat I see? Because I have one too, and that's awesome.
Also also also, your expression in the second picture is HILARIOUS!
THANK YOU!
Now do work
sondaughter! (hmm...that sounds, wrong :-/)Re: FACES ARE ON FACEBOOK
Not a St. Patrick's Day hat... it's a microwavable plastic bowl. For Easy Mac cooking!
I get told that I make a lot of great facial expressions. I tried a couple of smirks out, I contorted my face until I actually made the :/ face, but ultimately I went for "oh snap!" (True fact: I can make a lot of funny faces, but I cannot frown.)
It kind of went from student/teacher to incest? :(((((((((
YOU ARE A BAMF!
Well, that could easily be turned INTO a hat! mmmm easy mac. I had this delicious spaghetti and scrambled egg thing tonight. soooo good
I get told I make ridiculous facial expressions. And am generally ridiculous, so it works out. Ha, so you totally just sat there, taking picture after picture until it came out just right. That makes it so much better. You really can't frown? What does it end up like? I have to see you try this.
Hmmm, you're right. Epic innuendo fail. Let's get back to the classroom instead. Much better there.
Re: YOU ARE A BAMF!
It could be, if I wanted it to be a hat. Uggh, Easy Mac is gross. Kraft macaroni and cheese just NEEDS milk and butter. I just ate a gigantic burger and an ice cream sundae at The Grog with Dan and Ariel. Ohmygod. SO FULL. FOOD COMA.
I so did not just sit there taking picture after picture... I could see the display, so I just kept making faces until I had the perfect expression. I only snapped one picture.
I really can't frown. I can't prove it without shooting a movie, but this is my frown face.
EPIC innuendo fail! You just can't go there... the "call me daddy" stuff is just really, really weird. Oh, remind me on Sunday, Dan made a reference today that I didn't understand and can't, in my innocence, figure out.
Re: YOU ARE A BAMF!
I prefer Annie's mac n cheese the best, but I'll eat whatever is cheapest/available to me. And I am definitely getting a big, juicy bacon cheeseburger with some beer tomorrow after the race. Oh man.
I clearly have no idea how these things work, seeing as how my compy dates back to dinosaur times. Oh man, that picture- priceless. Looks like you couldn't decide between pouting and puckering for a kiss. hee
Oh god, ewwwww. Pass. Always pass. Definitely not my bad, baby. And I love that you just assume the creepy, old guy will get the inappropriate reference :-P
Re: YOU ARE A BAMF!
I have a box of Annie's I found in the pantry for free. I ate it for breakfast the morning I ran 5:52.5 for 1600! Maybe I should reconsider that....
Oh god, Grog burger, ALL of my fries, AND an ice cream sundae. Oh my god. Oh my god. My intestines.
That's just how far my facial muscles will go. I just can't... make... a frown. Some people can't. My mom and my brother can frown, but my dad and I can't. I try to pull my mouth into the ( and all I get is weird pucker/pout.
I think I learned about that fetish from CSI. CSI exposed me to a LOT of that stuff when I was in middle school. Ugh. Ugh. And I am NOT assume that the creepy old guy will get the reference - I picked you because you're the biggest delinquent I know!
Re: YOU ARE A BAMF!
See? Annie's is magical. I've gone through three boxes in a night once. Grog burger some special Bryn Mawr area thing? I got a 5 Guys burger in DC Sunday. It made my life. ::drools::
I'm still going to make you try Sunday. I have an odd sense of humor.
You know what else teaches you a lot of creepy shit? SVU. Oh man, I started watching SVU regularly my junior year of college and it made me suspicious of EVERYONE! My brain needs more bleach.
I dunno if I should be honored or insulted by that, ha!
Re: YOU ARE A BAMF!
I will need to reconsider my stance on Annie's, clearly. The Grog is a pub in Bryn Mawr. Oh man, I've never been to a 5 Guys, but I've heard things!
I'll try to frown for you. It's something that people feel a need to experience.
That is exactly why I don't watch a lot of Law and Order!
You should feel honored!
I haven't gotten out of bed yet. I'm kind of scared to see what will hurt when I start to walk.
Drunken LJ!!
