I hope everyone had an awesome weekend! I spent most of it locked inside my apartment, trying to fix my computer just enough so that it will eek out enough energy to last until May when I finish my thesis. Needless to say, it clearly feels that it needs to be replaced but I’m staging a rebellion. We WILL co-exist, it just doesn’t know it yet!
Anyway, when frustration hit all-time high levels, I decided to head outside for a nice run. I even took Tals on a run (she ran, I biked) beforehand so that she I didn’t need to bring her. Not that I don’t love her, but…well, let’s just say my training on a leash could have been exponentially better when she was a pup. I suffer the consequences daily! How she manages to properly run next to my bike but yanks on my hand while running is beyond me….

Clearly not her but you get the point. Just think larger. And bigger devil horns. And a satanic grin while wrenching my shoulder out of the socket.
So I only did 3.25 miles, but it was my first real run since I’ve been back on my asthma meds. HOLY COW, what a difference! (And yes, I said holy cow. Deal with it.)

I could actually get some deep breaths and it was an amazing feeling. Pretty sure I’m gonna enjoy this whole “breathing properly” thing! What I was not enjoying, however, were the 476 mph headwinds that are blowing through the Denver area this weekend! I was experiencing a nice headwind all the way out, and I’m pretty sure those gusts blew straight into my face, down my esophagus and into my lungs (no, seriously, it happened.) The oddly ironic part was that I should have enjoyed a decent tailwind on the way back, but nope. Didn’t happen. Apparently I live in a vortex where wind just circles around and pisses you off. Rude.
In other news, it’s time for a winner!!!

Looks like all that delicious SunButter is going to #29, Terzah!
Terzah lives just down the road from me and if I was less lazy, I’d probably just drive the SunButter to her. But yeah, that probably isn’t going to happen. Terzah, shoot me a message within the next 48 hours with your mailing info and I’ll get it all shipped out to you!
What did you do this weekend? Who raced?
I’ll ask this question again: anyone want a lovable-yet-energetic mutt? I hear she’s going for a real cheap price! 😉
