Plans have changed! Just another lesson in not freaking out about decisions because things can change at any moment! And remember the naked guy???
Two posts ago I had a dilemma....what to do, what to do? Well, turns out going to San Francisco is NOT in the cards. I realized the pleasure I would get out of it did not outweigh the hassle, so it is a no go! But then I had another problem. My running has felt fantastic. In fact, my long runs have never felt sooo good. Do I shoot for a PR at TCM or not? I had promised some friends to pace them. When it comes down to it, I just had to remind myself that this IS my year off! So, with that, I am looking forward to pacing a 3:35 marathon and trying my darndest to PR at a half-marathon at the end of October. I know, it is my year off but this is a compromise!
I must not forget naked guy. I live with all men. A husband. Two boys. Two boy dogs. I grew up with two older brothers(no sisters for me). There are a lot of penises and balls in this house. I really don't want to see them out on a run. Fortunately I wasn't alone this time and it wasn't nearly as freaky. However, my running partner Julie was a naked guy virgin(okay, she has seen a naked guy just not this one in particular). I saw him coming and gave her a "heads-up" :-). I made sure she didn't give him the reaction he was looking for. We passed him, I looked back and he crouched down behind a bush to wait for his next victim! FREAK! Sorry I don't have any pics to post but just take my word for it, it looks painful....
That's all for now!

I must be the anti-Darcy. I am the only one with my equipment in a frank and beans free house. Wife, daughter, two girl dogs and one girl cat. But we're Calvinists, so no excess skin at any time.
Holy creep monster... I think I missed your previous post on the naked man, but nothing worse - even if you didn't live with all the beings with "Junk"...
Happy running 3:35. who are you running wiht again. we'll look for you. i'm doing the 10mi first. what half are you doing? E may do one??
Darcy- your post crack me up.
I was catching up reading up on the eagle and the guy driving his dog and now the naked guy.......ah that's good humor. And I can so relate when those "words" just come out of your mouth....oops. clean it up!
I'll look for ya at the marathon. i'll be on a motorcycle taking pictures! smile!
I love that you ignored him. Love that. What. A. Weirdo.
And as an all-girl house here, sometimes I think Mark gets the rock-star status. You, then, are the reigning queen of yours. We had our sono yesterday and, although we weren't looking, I couldn't make out any "frank and beans" anywhere, so Mark's reign may get to continue!
Oh Darcy! This was hilarious. I can't believe you have a naked guy on your runs! Have you called the police? Or will you just let the natural progression of fall here be enough punishment for him? ;) Have a great TCM run this weekend!
I love to hear about penises and balls.
And if you're pacing a 3:38, we'll DEFINITELY be around. My wife and friends are going for around 4 - 4:30. GOOD LUCK!! Make sure to shout a "Hello, I'm Darcy" to the chicken!
I think I missed your finish - I wasn't back to mile 26 in time.
3:42!!! WAY TO GO!! Congrats!!!
