Happy Thursday

While in Dallas this week I noticed an interesting store on my way to the site. I took a double take as I passed Condoms To Go on the corner of a busy intersection... I tried to take a picture on my phone for proof but that didn't work out so well. whaddyaknow they have a website and several locations.

You know I may be a little out of touch but when one decides to make the condom purchase how many are not "to go"? I can't imagine take some some fruity-flavored-glow-in-the-dark-plastic wrappers to the register they ask you if they are for here or to go like mickey d's. Never mind I don't want to know.

After sleeping later than I had planned Tuesday I snuck in an 8 miler before catching my flight. I attempted a tempo run and only managed 2 1/2 miles at a 8:45 min/mile average instead of the desired 4. I'm not going feel bad because it was hot and my first tempo attempt since starting training back up again.

Since it was 100 degrees in Dallas I took my recovery run indoors on Weds night. I was able to pull 5 miles out of somewhere. The room was disgustingly warm but luckily the mill had a tv so I could watch all the NCIS and CSI my heart desired. Plus a crazy hail storm came during the run and although slightly destructive, very cool to watch as well as be glad I wasn't caught in it.
I was scheduled for 10 today but seeing as it is 8 something and I just walked in the door and haven't had dinner I will forgo. Plus I think I may try to wake up early (gasp!) and run long before heading to Ohio. We shall see. I tend to plan/say that a lot and then sleep wins.

"For here or to go?" hilarious!!!
I heard about that hail storm on the national news! Crazy!
Sounds like the running is going good!

Good thing you didn't run outside. It would have really sucked to get caught in the storm.

Hope you have a nice trip to Ohio.

Girl, I don't know how you do it. Your so busy. I'm glad you have such a flexible attitude. I would be pissed if I couldn't run 'on schedule'. Good job getting those workouts in despite the issues.

LOL at condoms "to go". :p

Great job on the tempo run and 5-miler. Did you manage to get up this morning? That'd be tough!

I wish you would've gotten the photo! Good luck on your ten miler. Good job getting your runs in out of town, I always struggle w/that. You seem to work it out well. :)
