So Rethinking


It's 5:30 on Saturday morning.
The Cowtown Half Marathon starts at 7:30.
I'm up because I intend on running it.
But I want to go back to bed.

(Closest thing to a haiku I can pull off.)

Edit: I did it. More later. Getting dark. See tunnel. See white light. Uh oh.

Edit #2: A friend sent me this pic and asked me if I saw the Sheriff running. Heck, he might be in that pic somewhere.

Edit #3: Race Results

Good Luck Barry!

You should think about wearing a "Liberally Lean From the Land of Dairy Queen t-shirt at these events. Dumb idea, huh.

I kow what got Barry out of bed........FREE BEER!

Strangest thing I have seen in awhile. We get done running 13.1 miles. Get handed a bottle of water and a medal and then.....beer??!! Very strange tradition. Would expect Gatorade but oh well.

Barry,

Tell you person that asked if the Sheriff ran that he did not run, he was getting ready to cook me a steak! He mentioned wanting to run, but he stayed on the couch until he cooked me dinner. What a nice guy.

Are you sure about that 9:33? I saw the sheriff having dinner with his parents at a Decatur restaurant.
