17

17 days to go. i think i'm ready.

since last post, i've decided to play it safe and not risk boston. if i were to go out and keep pace for 24 miles and then die on the last two only to lose not only my 3 hour goal, but boston as well, i don't think i would take that very well. i'll kill the BQ this time around, and run my sub3 at boston.

in non running news, i recently asked out an extremely attractive girl (who happens to like dark chocolate strawberries) and she said 'yes'. i'll be damned! you guys all know how picky and/or retarded i can be regarding women. hopefully i don't screw this one up. or be so nervous that i come across as boring. or just be the idiot that i am on the phone (i still hate that goddamn device).

finally, ironman prep begins in seriousness november 12th. how i'm going to train for the ironman, get through the holidays, and hopefully keep this girl talking to me is beyond me (especially with how bitchy i get after not sleeping for 6 weeks).
