Personal:

I have two really cute girls (2 yrs and 3 months old). And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrases my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, hiking, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos!

Late, late night with the kids means no morning run. I'm not sure when the last time was I got more than 5 or 6 hours of sleep- probably July 4 weekend.

PM- 7 miles, 4 potty breaks. One of those days. But even though I felt crappy (pun intended), I still had a funny experience. As I passed a rather slow hispanic runner, he looked at me, reached out his hand, and said "Quiero, quiero".

Adrenaline- 423

Ah for newborns....

From Cody on Jul 23, 2008 at 10:13:05

You sure it wasn't "Te Quiero"? Thats funny. Is 4 stops in 7 miles a PR for stops per mile?

From Jon on Jul 23, 2008 at 10:50:51

It could have been, Cody. He was out of breath.

If it isn't a record, it's close.

From Paul Petersen on Jul 23, 2008 at 11:10:07

You just need to tell your kids to go to bed earlier. Rod of discipline, man.

From Jeff (LAD) on Jul 23, 2008 at 14:38:54

Teach those kids to use an empty water bottle and let it fly on the fly, as it were.

From Jeff (LAD) on Jul 23, 2008 at 14:39:59

Or did you mean that YOU needed 4 potty breaks? I seriously hope you had the stroller with you.

From Jon on Jul 23, 2008 at 15:10:37

Jeff, I just know where all the bathrooms are along the way... for me.

From Jeff (LAD) on Jul 23, 2008 at 16:10:19

4 times in 7 miles? Yikes. I remember, one time, when I was on a run, I had to stop and go to the bathroom ... I think it was at Band Camp.

From Jon on Jul 23, 2008 at 23:01:43

I probably stop at least 2-3 runs per week. 2 stops in one run isn't uncommon. 4 stops is uncommon, especially in a run that short.
