race day

ah race day. i practically jumped out of bed this morning (meaning, i only hit snooze once) with the anticipation of a good hard run. this, despite the fact that i received some pretty crushing news yesterday. i've been gunning for the winning time last year of 20:14 (a 5:45 mile) and yesterday found out that this was, in fact, the winning women's time. the winning men's time was 17:16 or some such (a 4:56 mile). yea, no way. on an absolutely great day, i might be able to keep up for a mile and a half...but not three and a half. i will still run hard and try to break 20 minutes, but i don't have what it takes to win. my new goal is to beat the leading female. one of these days, i WILL win a race.

on a completely unrelated topic, as i was driving to work this morning, the wisconsin radio station that i occasionally listen to was making a man hairless for nothing more than entertainment value. they shaved his head, NAIR'd his nether-regions, and waxed his chest and back. is this what wisconsinites do for fun? good lord, go make some more cheese or something.
