boredom...the key to getting in shape!

yesterday i was so bored at work that i left at 2 and met up with mariko to go for a run along boathouse row.

we went for a 30 minute run but unfortunately mariko left her pedometer at home. i would estimate we ran anywhere between 1 mile and 10 miles. we ended it with a full-out 200 yard sprint which felt AWESOME! i haven't sprinted like that in years. it was the longest run i've been on this year (out of a whopping 3) and the strangest thing is that i felt like i could have gone on for another 20 minutes. maybe it was the flat surface or the constant conversation that distracted me. we ended our workout with crunches and pushups. i did 20 regular ones and 1 triangle hand one that left my arms feeling like cooked noodles. not even al dente!

but what's even stranger is the other 2 runs that i went on didn't leave me sore even though i was soooo winded at the end. but this morning, after that awesome run, my body feels like it got hit by a truck. even darin commented that i was walking lopsided.

on a different note, i met up with steve stoltzfus last night. he's doing very well, even though he's a little flaky with wedding invitations. he agrees that there's something wrong with the drexel hill townies and that it IS contagious (eg. his wedding invitations.) anyway, i had intended to go home no later than 10:30, but since he so rarely gets to go out, mariko, erik, steve, and i danced until 12:30!

hmm...maybe THAT'S why i feel like i got hit by a truck.

p.s. he's still afraid of becky. but he thinks he scared her at my birthday last year when he apparently pinned her against the railing when he was dancing with her. heh.
