Everyone knows that your children always are better for other people. People continually tell me what a doll my three year old Tatiana is and I just laugh and say thank you, knowing full well when we get home she will turn into the holy terror she is, especially when she loses a mini game on Mario Party 8 for the Wii. Yes, she plays the Wii, don't judge.
Anyways, I couldn't help but think of this as I was running this morning. I ran a new route this morning that was less sidewalks and more "multi-use path" but which also took me along major streets and crosswalks. I noticed that as I approached each crosswalk my pace got a little quicker, my step a little peppier. It wasn't hard to deduce that I was running for other people at that point. I wanted everyone at the stoplight to see that I was an amazing runner, truth or not.
So here's my thought. Do you think they could plan a half-marathon course in nothing but crosswalks? I think I could totally kick it.
hahaha! I do this too! Even if I'm dying while praying that I will catch a red light for a much needed rest, as soon as that bad boy turns green, I Hussein Bolt it! The poor people in their cars get to watch me shake, shake, shake! lol
