Nhat is snoring because she rather be in bed than out running in the rain! ... Ever since the NWM and running the last 10 miles it in the rain, I have had NO desire to run in this "holiday storm" we've been experiencing the past 5 days. Instead, I've taken to the treadmill at the gym to get in a few short runs and challenge my competitive nature w/ the person running on the treadmill next to me. Haha! For the 20 something year old girl glancing over, I can run faster and longer than you any day. And the 30 year old douche bag trying to run faster than me, I'm a marathoner and I'll out run you. Usually the girl to my right stops at 2 miles and I'll up the pace as she glances over one last time, and the douche bag to my left stops after half a mile huffing and puffing before calling it quits. YES! I win :)
Most of the time, running is a race within me and all about me. But there are times - especially at the gym, my competitive human nature gets the best of me. There is no medal awarded for running faster or longer, nor does it make me a better person. It's just FUN :) ... As much as I enjoy the rain and my yellow raincoat, I'm ready for it to clear up so I can pound the pavement outside and get a good run! I'm also afraid I'll end up hurting myself on the treadmill trying to beat the person next to me.
