Divided By Zero's Journal, 10 June 2009

Welcome to /0's daily ramblings. Now with 70% more clothes!

Weight is... the same. Boooooo. I'm going to have to take a closer look at my diet. I haven't really changed much lately, but it could probably use some improvement.

Yesterday I ran a race. Except I'm the only person that knows. The guy I was racing against was clueless... sort of. LOL What happened was that on the last mile of my 3 mile run yesterday a guy was warming up at about the 1/4 mile mark. When he saw me I guess he figured I was an easy target and he was going to pass me up. It was my job to make sure I proved him wrong. As soon as I passed him I heard his footsteps slapping the sidewalk and I knew he was tailing me. I was warmed up from already running two miles so I picked up my pace to try to wear him out from the beginning. He stayed about ten feet behind me until the 1/2 mile mark and then... HE CUT IN LINE! He cut the course, ran through the grass to end up about ten feet in front of me. So in a moment of Elementary-School-style-no-cutting-in-line-rage I sped up again and got right behind him. Close enough that he had to keep picking up his pace just so I wouldn't run over him. Then I got right beside him and kept slowly picking up the pace knowing he would try to keep up. By the time we got to the 3/4 mile mark he was panting like a dog. I made a final push and he finally couldn't take it any more. He let out a groan and pulled off to the grass to walk and catch his breath while I finished my last mile.

VICTORY!!! I think. LOL I guess now I'm officially a running bully.

Now if only I could run that fast during my races I might have better times.

Yeah, but now I have to try to get fast enough to beat the champ. I have no idea who she is, but she runs circles around everyone at the park... and she never even stops for water. She's a machine!

oh she is a SHE!! Ohhhh!!!! You should ask her if you two can be running buddies!!!! Or just ask her out! !!! Go for it!!!

Hahaha! Boys grow into men but they never lose the desire for competition. That is hilarious that he cut in front of you by running through the grass! It's like fifth grade. Oh, and the champ ... yes, you can NOT be outrun by a girl. No fifth grade boy would tolerate it. :-)

Do it!!!! I need to feel the excitement via you of the chase! Oh I love the chase! Seriously, your task is to find out her name, and ask her to be your running buddy. Give it a week, and then ask her out :)

Boys are so funny! The best part of that story is that (from what I could tell) there was no verbal communication between the two of you except for a grunt.

Sara, that's how dudes communicate. We have a thousand different gestures and signals. Amazingly they all mean "I could beat you up if I had to".

Nice to know that Washington DC style road rage happens in other venues. (grin)

LoL. That reminded me of one time when doing a race I heard one guy tell another dude when he passed him..."You just OWNED, sucker!" That made my day.
