GPOYW: Me with my two favorite guys in the world edition
My dad, me, Mr. B
It’s HERE!*
All of the important things anyone needs to know about me should something terrible happen during a training run or a race *knocks on wood* can be found on my running shoes.
Unfortunately, tonight’s weather didn’t cooperate and I wasn’t able to take it out for a spin, but it is now affixed to my laces for my next run. (I’m toying with the idea of a post-work/pre-class run tomorrow night, but we’ll see how that pans out…) I may need to finally man up and start running in the mornings on days that I have class. Oh, the horror!
*If you don’t have one yet and would like one (and I recommend you get one) let me know. I have coupon codes for $1 off!

Tonight’s Pre-Rivalry Game Run Through Central Park Brought To You By: Swedish House Mafia Pandora Station. (My dear purple iPod nano has gone to iPod heaven… *tear*)
This was the perfect soundtrack to a run through the wet Central Park Lower Loop. I felt good. In the interest of full disclosure: this was my first run since my run in Tampa with Rob. (Yes. Yes. I knowwww… SLACKER = ME) All things considered, it was a great run. My legs felt good, my time was good (averaged 9:03 min/mi for 3.4 miles) and it felt amazing to get outside after a frigid weekend and a long day indoors. Dailymile told me I have 116 days until the Fifth Third River Bank Run (25k). Better get my butt in gear.
In other running-related news, I finally purchased a Road ID. I would like to think that I won’t need it, but it’s a huge comfort to know that if (God forbid) I do need it, it’s there. I got the Shoe ID model. If it’s strapped to my laces, it’s impossible to forget. If you’re a runner or cyclist or outdoor adventurer and you don’t have one yet you should consider getting one! They also let you donate a portion of your purchase to one of a handful of charities. Mine went to Team In Training!
