    @azercord I think “old compared to” is a very relative term, but thanks ha ha

    oh dear. I took my top off in my first HM at the first aid station and ran in just my sports bra. Nobody should have had to see that. I even asked someone to take a picture of me at one point and am mortified by what I see. Abdominal crunches and planks are the way forward.....

    number 8 I see a lot of on my morning runs. It's mostly other females. One day I am going to go right up to them and put my face in their's and yell 'MORNING!!' at them. I may not speak so well in the morning, but I make sure I acknowledge people.

    I always acknowledge fellow runners. And get very miffed when they don't respond.

    Oh, and I think no. 1 needs a higher fine. I had a young lad stop directly in front of me in a crowded 5k because he wanted to tie his shoelaces. It could have been very messy indeed, but I managed to leapfrog over him and got a congratulatory high-five from a spectator.

    I was going to post that violators of #1 should have a higher fine. Thought maybe I was being too snarky. However, in the middle of a half marathon that I ran in the Spring, 2 runners stopped in front of me to take selfies. I thought, "are you kidding?"

    Random running thought of the afternoon. My morning run came pretty close to being a Yasso 800 workout. I averaged 3:35 on my 800 splits, with not much variation. I know, from how I was feeling, that I could have done another2. I also know that I can't run a 3:35:00 marathon.....good to know that the Yassos are no indicator for me.

    Happy to report no pain or soreness this afternoon after taking it up a notch on the elliptical this morning. Haven't decided on the workout for tomorrow, I feel like I could run but I should and will take one more cross training day.
    @skippygirlsmom you couldn't be more wrong about cross country. I was fully engrossed two years ago as my niece won a few high school races and placed top ten in Western Mass. Last year was quite empty as she started college on scholarship for San Diego State.
    Love the violations list. My wife and boys would be willing to pay my fines for #10 if it meant less of that action at home.

    I am very guilty of the belt on the 5k one.... water is my security blanket, big time... like what if I MIGHT need it. And I only recently acquired a pouch- (so, still means carrying fuel belt technically??? ) For my dumb phone that isn't the water belt.... so yeah... I'm hopeless on that one... I had finally stopped carrying the water belt on 5ks and then I got the running ban, so my running shape is gone... so when I start up again, I'm sure water will come on every run again.

    It's been a long, confusing, headachey day at work.... I make no gauruntees the above rambling makes the slightest lick of sense. Sorry.
