Learning about the Mad Beast
The NY Marathon was this past Sunday. A marathon is 26.2 miles, which is about 26 more miles than I can run.
Bumped into someone from a while ago at a party on Saturday who’s a runner. I can’t relate to it because I find it painfully boring but she says she does it cause she loves it.
Then Sunday, I went to a celebratory thingy at 3PM at my local dive bar. Paul’s friend, Runaround Sue, ran the marathon in under four hours. That’s her in the pic above asking a DJ to play better music a few weeks back.
I’ve been so busy with the drama, I haven’t run myself. I keep thinking I’ll hit the road and never come back.
Just a dream.

I saw GES this past weekend for another brunch. That may become our thing. Brunch on the weekend.
She runs too. I must be missing something.

I’m meeting a lot of teachers these days.
Her: You never heard of the shiz? What about mad beast?
Me: You do realize I’m 34, right? (pause) Could you use it in a sentence?
Her: (thinking) Well, one student said, Yo Miss, you can’t give us all that mad beast homework. All the cool kids use it.
Me: Ah, there’s your problem right there; I’ve never been cool.
Her: Ever?
Me: Around 2004 I thought I might be cool but then I decided it was just something I ate.
Location: 6AM yest, in bed pretending it’s 7AM
Mood: puzzled
Music: I wanna be like you, just as strong as you are

Something very liberating about running miles on end.I'm not the only girl that asks DJs to change up the music when it sucks, yes!
I just wish running wasn't so boring.The DJ said he would but then we got bored and left.
I went to your church today and unintentionally had communion twice in one day. I think that'll cover me for longer than I need.
Will you come to my church again? I'm the greeter for the next three weeks at it.
