Random Thoughts From a Long Run......

Today I went on the longest run to date.  11 miles.. I'm sorry, what?! Even when I tell people that I don't know what I'm talking about.  The whole time I'm running it, I don't know what I'm talking about.  But here are the random thoughts that run through a runner's head during that long period of time......

Miles 1-3:

*I'm cold
*Wish I'd worn some gloves
*My plantar fasciitis hurts
*I can't breathe
*Why am I doing this?
*I'm hungry
*It's so gross to wipe my snotty nose on my sleeve
*Those birds could carry me away!!!!!

Miles 4-6:

*That house is pretty
*Watch that sidewalk
*I hear the birds chirping!
*Everything is warm but my hands. Why didn't I wear gloves?????
*What street am I on?
*I think I feel the runner's high at times!!!
*Oooo, haven't heard this song in a while....
*I wonder what time it is?
*Man, this flavored applesauce tastes good
*I think I just aspirated some water.  Cough twice. 
*I hope the light stays green at that intersection
*My fingers are numb! I would turn up the volume on this song, but I can't
*"You make me feel like I been locked out of heaven......"
*This is a great shortcut
*What am I going to do about that condo.....
*It's so gross to wipe my snotty nose on my sleeve
*Ducks!!!!!!


Miles 7-11:
*Does that car see me?
*I hope that light changes so I have to stop at that intersection
*"Nope, you need to turn around sir, go down one block and turn left and the student center is on your right"
*Ugh, I'm burping up that flavored applesauce, think I might vomit
*Is that part of an animal?
*That guy is cute.  Step up the pace, don't look like you're dying
*Jesus, what time is it?
*What street am I supposed to turn on???
*Wonder what my pace is?
*Well, don't wave back at me, bitch!
*I can feel my fingers!!!!
*I'm just mentally tired, suck it up buttercup
*Mercy, I'm sick of carrying this water bottle
*Are my shoelaces coming untied?
*I'm tired
* I need more music
*It's so gross to wipe my snotty nose on my sleeve (constant, on a loop)
*I see my building!!!!!!

These are the earth shattering, important thoughts that go through my head during a long run.  Just thought you wanted to know.
