Go, Tracy, Go!: Things I've read that you should read, too

On I went, out of the wood, passing the man leading without knowing I was going to do so. Flip-flap, flip-flap, jog-trot, jog-trot, curnchslap-crunchslap, across the middle of a broad field again, rhythmically running in my greyhound effortless fashion, knowing I had won the race though it wasn't half over, won it if I wanted it, could go on for ten or fifteen or twenty miles if I had to and drop dead at the finish of it, which would be the same, in the end, as living an honest life like the governor wanted me to. -Alan Sillitoe, "Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner"

Things I've read that you should read, too

In other words, "I don't have anything to say about my running because I'm totally stuck in a plateau but I don't want you to think I've died, or that I don't care about my blog, so instead I'll offer a cop out 'post' and hope you don't notice that it's not a post."

Angry Runner schools us on motivation. She's got a point, a good one. I ran today.
A cat marathon. I repeat: A CAT MARATHON. Like, cats running 26.2m. Too bad it's a joke.
Brooke uses tampons specifically made for sport. Too bad it's not a joke.
Julia gets mistaken for a grade schooler, and I laugh.
Totally not running related, but the Random Luther Insult Generator is quite awesome.

And finally, scientists prove that ice cream is addictive in much the same way as drugs - in other words, I'm screwed. Considering replacing my nightly Edy's with some heroin.

Any suggestions for things I should write about to keep my little blog from going gentle into that good night?

I think you should write about how pumped you are to be coming up to the Great White North for Around the Bay.

Yeah. About that. I'm still coming, no worries, and I'm finishing the race. But my training - um, yeah. Um. Uh.

A CAT MARATHON. AWESOME.
Although I fear my cats would need some kitty body glide for their swaying kitty FUPAs.

I'm in love with the Luther insult generator. Thanks for posting it; that was one angry dude.

Twitter and Dailymile

So, I'm on twitter, and you should totally follow me. If you're on twitter, too and you're not spam, I will laugh at your jokes and totally become your twitter bff (and probably make crude jokes and quite possibly swear, I'm sorry to say). You can also find and friend me on dailymile, but ~~$20 says I'll get lazy about updating it and go back to (only) using~~ I stopped updating it and ~~only use RunningAhead~~ now I'm trying this new thing where I don't record my mileage at all except with paper and pen - I know, how weird, right?
