Ticket for Not Running
I discovered the fail-proof way to get out of bed for a run in the morning. If you don’t run, you get a ticket and/or your car gets towed.
Last night’s fourth of july barbeque and firework viewing necessitated leaving my car almost exactly a mile from my house because I had a few drinks to celebrate America. I walked home, but my car was parked on the street and I had to go move it before 7 AM. I left my house at 6:50 AM and jogged over, drove my car home, and then continued running for a total of 38:33 minutes of running. It was quite an effective way to get me awake and out of bed. [Also, my legs were a little bit tired, but I’m not sore and my run was fine. I think that means I could/should have run harder yesterday! At the very least, I find it encouraging I am not dying today.]
Then I ate a whole lot of junk food. JUST KIDDING. You guys are all so sweet. I promise I am not being obsessive. I really do eat a lot of junk food though and it’s probably a very good thing if I eat less. Though my less junk food promise has started today instead of yesterday since there was the bbq :) I really appreciate all of the comments.
I’m also really grateful for everyone’s tips for training and racing. As a comparatively inexperienced runner I continually learn so much from all of your blogs. And you’re all SO NICE! Anyway, enough mushiness…:) Night!

Heh, heh. Maybe the alcohol sped up your recovery so your legs weren't sore the next day. Maybe you should drink tonight again to make sure. :D
