On the road again...

FIVE DAYS LEFT UNTIL RACE DAY!!!! -Only three days of work left this week.

I went running last night and I found that 6.5 miles now feels like a somewhat easy night. That is just plain weird. I am glad the "long run" training is over for a few weeks. I don't plan on doing anything over 14 miles for the next few weeks. I think my legs need a little break after the race coming up this weekend. Speaking of the race, I really want to get started. Actually, I really can't wait to see everyone in Indy again! I think the race is going to be a blast as well. I have heard great things about the Indianapolis Mini, that it is a whole lot of fun, that there are live bands and cheering fans all over the place. I still haven't decided if I am going to drink the free beer along the race course, or if I am going to wait until I am done running to have a beer, or perhaps I should say that when it is over, I may have some beersh...

I am hoping my somewhat embarassing, recurring "intestinal issues" do not occur during the race. For some reason, my intestines think it is time to "get to work" on some morning jogs. I don't really want to spend part of my race in a port-a-potty. One morning, while running with my friend Jason, we were forced to turn a planned 15 mile run into an 18 miler in order to get to a rest stop. The fastest way to get to a bathroom that day was to keep going a bit farther from home, and I knew I was not going to make it all the way back home without, shall I say, "major" problems.

Take some immodium. It stopped up someone we all know and love real well about 10 years ago!!!

This got put on the wrong blog day before so I added it again. No I am not losing my mind!!!

You've really got a way with words when discussing bodily functions. :p

I think I get along with James so well at this age because we can relate very well. We both love to talk about bodily functions. :)

It was fun to stop at a friendly house, but the circumstances were a tad embarassing, to say the least.

I am still afraid of immodium, after the last time someone we know took it and had a very bad time with it. To go from needing to poo to being horribly constipated does not sound like a fun time.
