Lets Say for a Minute, that I was Running 18 Miles...

what would I be thinking during those 18 Miles? After all...this is over 3 hours of running, and listening to my MP3 player with the SAME list of songs on it over and over, is only amusing for just so long. So...I did run over 18 miles today, and let me tell you what was going on in my head. Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for my personal thoughts during long runs, so if you care to confront me about my said thoughts, I probably will be more likely to take your side than I will be to take my own.

Thoughts...Mile by Mile...

Mile 1: Gosh, what a perfect day. What if I find out that I can't do 18 miles. Then what?
Mile 2: By mile 12, I am really going to hate this hill, but now, its not so bad.
Mile 3: Dear God, if I could wish for one thing, it would be for you to make my feet go numb, and my legs. Please, Please do this for me.
Mile 4: Oh...that car looks different. I bet the man that lives there is cheating on his wife, and that is the "other woman's" car. Oh wait, its got dealer plate, maybe they just got a new car.
Mile 5: I hate it when these people have a yard sale and set up their crap right on the sidewalk.
Mile 6: I really like the Honda Pilot.
Mile 7: I wonder if I could even park a Honda Pilot.
Mile 8: I couldn't even afford the gas for a Honda Pilot.
Mile 9: Oh Fuck, my feet went numb! Why did they do that?!? I bet they are going to get black and fall off.
Mile 10: Hmmm....I don't have to pee anymore, I wonder if I peed myself.
Mile 11: (Seeing a kid come off a path from a woodsy area) I bet that kid just smoked pot. If I could find his mother I would tell her.
Mile 12: I hate this fucking hill.
Mile 13: Old people should not be able to drive.
Mile 13.5: "You almost hit me you old bag" (middle finger employed) This was an actual statement.
Mile 14: Dunkin Donuts smells entirely too good. If I just went in there and sat down for another half hour and then walked home, Michael would never know the difference.
Mile 15: (Another hill) I wish I had stopped at Dunkin Donuts.
Mile 16: I don't think Catholic People are really going to heaven. I mean, look at their churches. Didn't Jesus say something about not hording all worldly goods and being humble. How is this church humble. My 4 year old calls is a castle for goodness sakes. She doesn't call a baptist church a castle, or any other church a castle. Yup. Catholics are definitly going to hell, because the size of their churches are just absurd, and that warrants a fiery after death experience.
Mile 17: I really wish Marshall Mathers (aka: Eminem) would stop bitching about his trailer park and his baby's mama problems. Until he has run this far, he doesn't know real pain.
Mile 18: Oh my God, I am done. Holy crap. I can't feel my legs. Oh Lord. Thank God that is over. I can't believe that I have to run 5 miles tomorrow. God, I smell. Phew. Done. I wonder how Heather is doing.
