I didn't want to run today, I had to!
Last night, Melting Pot to celebrate the Ali-Cats report card. Well, who was I to say no to a glass of wine, 3 melted Swiss chesses, 2 melted chocolates, various veggies and sea treasures cooked in cholesterol-free oil? No one! I had to do it, but I didn't have to let it put my belly back on! Even though I'm re-tapering and even though I ran 18 yesterday, I coaxed the Good Doctor into running 12.5 today at Morris Bridge.
It was fun, and we really moved that last few hundred yards, the girls got moves I tell you.
Speaking of moves, I need to work on mine. Why is it I can talk someone in to running for hours in the Florida heat and humidity but I can't talk someone in to _____________ with me? Oh, well, I guess I'm just a __________!

Quotable
"You know what I call the guy who's DFL? A finisher!" Overhead at the back of the pack at Western States in 2009. It meant a lot more to me at the end than it did at mile 3 when I heard it.
"Hey were you DFL at Western States? So was I!" Some dude named Steve that I met at Umstead. He was DFL in 2006, I was DFL in 09.
Becky talking about the need for training partners, "It takes a village to run a 100-miler." June's reply, "Yeah, a village Idiot!" Priceless June Bug, priceless!
“We are not in a hurry anymore.” Roger to his crew as he entered Camp 10 Bear for the first time in the Vermont 100, Ouch! Darn evil doctors!
"Road Marathons Suck!" Words of wisdom from Professor ACG. Listen to him, he knows of what he speaks!
"It's slippery." From the dude lying on his back at the Alafia Trail 1/2, regarding the trail condition of the muddy downhill I was about to run. Thanks, now could you roll to the side.
"There is no Try, either Do or Do Not Do." Yoda. Ok, little man, that sounds like you have a Do-Do philosophy. There is no try may work for keeping the Dark Force at bay and saving an empire, but oh-great-wrinkled-one, we're talking about running 100 Miles. Now drop and give me 20, Mr. Jed-Eye!
To me, From an aid station volunteer at Ancient Oaks 100-mile trail run, "The difference is, You could do what I'm doing, I could never do what you are doing!"

wearing a ball gag; victim of my own strange fetishes
maybe you could _____ yourself until your persuasion skills round into top form. Will the taper help with that? Not my area of expertise...
Captain Kangaroo nostalgia night; a-Jonesin' for Mr. Greenjeans.
Now you're being modest, you had no trouble talking me into it. (We're talking about running up a mountain in Colorado, right?)
... SD, I was always a Mr. Moose man, myself. Love those ping pong balls!
Mr Mathews, can I have a multiple choice test? I'm not very good at fill-in-the-blanks....
But I thought you HATE the Melting Pot ?
Oh, BTW, you talked me into a movie !
The correct fillings were:
Can't talk someone into: kicking field goals.
I guess I'm just a victim of my own strange fetishes.
50% Prof, you still fail, but I'm worried about the validity of a two-question exam.
I personally like the Choose Your Own Adventure stories:
Once there was a _____ (noun) called _____ (name). He used to _____ (verb) and _____ (verb) so much that he finally _____(past-tense verb).
Mr. Moose did rock, Chase. You remember the Banana Man?
Aight, Star, I'll try:
There once was a "man from Nantucket",
Called "the Union Gap's own Gary Puckett",
He used to "sin" and "grin",
So much he finally "had to chuck it".
Or has that one already been done.
Good verse, SD!
Oh, my bad. That's a Mad Lib...right?
