my first real running workout

You'll feel a lot better if you have a glass of wine and WATCH THE EAGLE.

Had me a big ol' glass of Red Hook Extra Special Bitter, does that count? (mmmmmm, beeeeeeer)

Watchin' my doggie beg for a taste of my nachos. Not quite as diginfied as an eagle! In fact, no dignity at all. (good lord, he's DROOLING)

Come on over to my house! I got more beer!

I went. I watched the eagle. I believe it was Mr. Eagle, based on hairdo. I enjoy writing "eagle" and "hairdo" in the same sentence, thank you, Nanci.

Yes, this thread has drifted. Ahem. Back to running. No shame in walking the Danskin tri. The only shame, appearantly, comes when *I* walk during my "runs"! argh. I have started doing what I call intervals, who knows if they really are--I just run faster for a block, or half a block, then walk to recover, then run my usual pace. I could stand to have a more organized way to train, but I do OK.

Nanci, really what do you think of the Bog Snorkelling Triathlon?!?
PS: If one of your memories of 9/11 is that of making out for hours with a much younger man, then you're way ahead of most of us.
