Marathon Thoughts a Video

 

Just to let you know I have been working on my marathon recap for some time now. I really want to get it right when I share it. It was without a doubt an experience.

 But anywho, here is one guys perspective on thoughts that go through a marathoners head and yeah hes kinda right on.

 

Are You A Waver?

I came across a comical post in the Wall Street Journal today called

 "Hey Riders, Runners: Do you Wave?"

 

I suppose I say this with pride but yes I wave at just about every single person I jog by.

 Its my way of sharing the joy I feel while running. Ya know, shed a lil sunshine on someone else's day.

HA.

 

But what happens if you don't get a wave back? Has that ever happened to you? It has to me. If they made flat out eye contact and brushed me off I  may or may not mumble asshole to myself. But this is on a rare occasions. Most Georgia runners share the gesture or at least show recognition with a nod. I'm cool with nods.

 

Now bikers. Bikers are different. I feel like my relationship with them is one of a dog and a mail man.

Any time I seem to see one they snap BIKER ON THE LEFT and for gosh sake I know jackass that's why on the complete edge of the trail.

Annnnyway, that's my two cents and my experiences.

 

Do wave?

Do you nod?

Who do you think tends to be friendlier on the trails and roads? Bikers or runners?

Disappointment

So I've been waiting to see this marathon medal for sometime now. R&R kept it a secret until today. Now I don't know if its because I think I'm a freakin Olympian but I was really expecting and hoping for some tricked out bling but instead we are getting this...

I think it looks like a chunk of wood. Not knowing what it was my husband asked if it was a brownie.
 

Hmmm, now here is the kids mini marathon medal.

 

Minus the kids "rock", I kinda like there's better. It  has some sparkle and looks more expensive.
Oh and it doesn't resemble a terd.

Sigh.

 

I know how you feel McKayla.

 

 

Wanna trade medals?
