futurebird's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20 miles I had my big 20 Mile race today in central park, I�d like to take a moment to share some of my thoughts during the race: Mile 1: Where am I? Who are these people?! This is confusing. Why can�t races be at 1:00pm not 9:00am? I neeeeeeed sleep. Mile 2: OMG! The guy in front of me is so hot! Better keep my pace up or I�ll lose the eye candy! Mile 3: Who�s I dea was it to plan the race so we have to go over the bridal path?!? They should re-name this race �the 20 mile dung dodge� Mile 4: Hmm I think I feel the �runner�s high� coming on! Mile 5: I AM THE GOD OF SPEED! I LOVE RUNNING! THE WORLD IS BEAUTIFUL LOOK SPRING IS COMING! RUNNING IS MY LIFE! Mile 6: Why the hell was I running so fast for the past mile? Now I have a side cramp... ughhhhh Mile 7: I SWEAR if that guy in the blue shorts PASSES me one more time I�ll be forced to turn running in to a �full contact� sport. Mile 8: I�m not going to stop for water, I�m good. I�ll save time and run right past that water table! Mile 9: where. is. the. water. need. water. must. find. water. Mile 10: I�m not going to stop for powergel, I�m good. I�ll save time and run right past that powergel table! Mile 11: where. is. the. powergel . need. powergel . must. find. powergel . Mile 12: Some times running is very boring. Mile 13: Hmm I think the runner�s high is coming back... Mile 14: WHY HAVE I SPENT MY WHOLE LIFE WALKING?! I WILL RUN EVERYWHERE FROM NOW ON! THIS IS BETTER THAN SEX! Mile 15: Oh my lord, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, from the verge of my longing... oh I cry by day, but you do not answer and now I find just pain. My shins hurt and my feet ache, my body is shaken and my hair stands on end...(book of job) Mile 16: Why do they call this sport �running� I should be called �suffering� Mile 17: Come on legs! Run! Come on! Left. Now right, now left.... Mile 18: YAY! This guy clapped for me! I feel like a champ! (a slow one.... but a champ anyway!) Mile 19: Two miles.... Oh once that distance seemed so small, but now.... two miles seems like 40! Mile 20: Come on! Let�s do a big finish! Don�t want to end on a bad note! Finish line: I DID IT!!!!! (I can�t wait for my next race) 5:45 p.m. - 2002-03-23 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
