Good run today! We had scheduled 12-13, but our coach said to do just ten or so, since next week we’ll be doing fourteen. Unfortunately not together. I’m going to Baton Rouge to do it. The LSU lakes are seven miles around, so that’ll work nicely, two big huge laps.

But today was fun, if not extremely fast. We finished in 2:30, but that included a bathroom break at one point, and some stretching otherwise. Not bad, considering the heat and humidity. It was horrible. But a really, really funny thing happened. While we were stopped at a restroom to refill water bottles, empty bladders, etc, there was a group of girls (college-age, probably) listening to rap at top volume. The music was coming out of their car, while they sat outside by the river. Keep in mind it’s 7:30 in the morning at this point. I imagine they were still out from the night before. (Oh god, I’m getting old.) So Emily, the brave one, yells out “Can you turn it up?? I can’t hear your music!” to which the girl in the car responds, “It’s up as loud as it will go!” Emily yells back something about being sarcastic, and things swiftly deteriorate into a cross-parking lot argument between Emily and these girls. Curses were flung about. Peggy was giving some of her own input, while I walked slowly away, muttering “Let’s go, let’s goooo.” So we went. And about five minutes down the road, the car passes us. With a bare-nekkid butt hanging out the window.

Woo hoo! My first moon directed at (sort of) me! Very classy. We thought it was the funniest thing ever. Not sure why being mooned would be considered insulting, it’s just too funny. The other (older) runners/walkers around us also thought it was funny. Well, made it a memorable run at least.

Tomorrow I have a second interview at Kinko’s. Eeep!
