I know that this is a running blog but today I am going to encourage two other things: writing and eating. What pleasures, this writing and eating stuff. I think you should do more of it.
First, eating. Today is Cinco de Mayo so why not enjoy a little guacamole? Or a margarita? Salt, no salt, it doesn't really matter. Just enjoy. Please. Because I can't -- no avocados in the house (where was my brain when I went to the market?) and I have a meeting this evening (so the margarita is out). I did, however, have some hummus spread on a tortilla for lunch. That's gotta count for something, right?
Second, writing. Have you seen RunPedia at Runner's World? It's a running encyclopedia and anyone can submit an article. Check it out! Also, Saucony is holding a contest for $1000 worth of gear here. Put on your clever cap and give it a go!
And now running. Excellent run on Sunday: 5.2 miles at 8:57 pace. I'm getting much better at slowing my pace for the easy runs. Today's run? We'll see. Planning for a quick one during nap time, if I can get everything else done before that. Where did I put those balancing skills, anyway?
Have a great Tuesday, everyone!

I will work on that margarita...just because you said to ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links!
ReplyDeleteYes, writing and eating are great pleasures indeed. And reading. And occasionally having one too many margaritas. With salt, please. I need to replenish my electrolytes.
How about my favorite salsa? May have to go pick some up. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteAhh, so many pleasures and so little time!
ReplyDeleteNo guac or margs for me either, but happy cinco de mayo!
We don't have anything here, either. So, I am eating a can of oysters. Cravings, I tell ya.
ReplyDeleteoh baby thanks for the saucony link...I think I'm working on passing the mexican today my tummy says it's a no go
ReplyDeletei may have to go for a cinco de mayo cerveza! thanks for that saucony link! sounds awesome :)
ReplyDeleteNice work on the "slow" run...haha that's fast for me!
ReplyDeleteI had chicken fajitas for lunch...mmmmmmm...margarita is out for me too, late work meeting. =(
I might just go and get myself some salsa and chips right now! The Runpedia looks cool, thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteHope you got your run in.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up...both look interesting.
anything on a 'tortilla' totally counts for Cinco de mayo. One of my best friends is visiting - starting today (until thursday) - and we planned on Tacos. except we opened the bottle of wine at 4:30 and ended up making cupcakes for her belated birthday, as well as some homemade salsa. So, ya know, whatever you can fit in. ;)
ReplyDeleteI downed a Corona, does that count? :)
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, this post made me very happy.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous that you get to write for a living :)
I didn't have my margarita either...but I've been dreaming about it!
ReplyDeletedamit, that's what I meant to look for at the grocery store today, guacamole, and I forgot! Ugh. :)
ReplyDeletesbj! that's your pace slowing down?!?! Daaaannnnggg!
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to check out the Saucony contest and also the runpedia. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love Mexican food and margaritas of course!
ReplyDeleteGreat run! Well done!
Thanks for visiting me! Come back again soon!
Second pass on the guac, but only because you said so... :)
