I did a short run today. I had it all planned out that I was going to do a long run today. Instead I ended up calling the chimney cleaners and hand to shorten my run. I actually took the dogs with me today. They haven’t been out since the nun incident. Yeah, a nun. We were running down a main street when a power walking nun came out from a side street. I was so surprised to see her I stopped short and was tangled up in the dog leash which then caused me to curse a nice old Jesus Christ. If I was on the fence about going the opposite route of heaven…I am sure I’m not going to be seeing any pearly gates. In my defense she was wearing a full habit. It’s just not something you see every day. I am pretty sure watching my kids pick their socks up off the floor would shock me less than the power walking nun.
I mentioned the chimney cleaning? Nice guy the chimney cleaner. I felt let down that he didn’t sing on my rooftop. I guess they only do that in London. Chimney guy must have swallowed a lot of ashes over the years because he was one earing short of a full jewelry set. Yeah, I don’t think that’s an actually saying but I will make it incredibly popular with the wealthy.
Tomorrow my goal is a full three miles. Which means running three miles and not stopping to skip. Three miles and next week I add on another mile. I will run this race even if I end up broken in a ditch somewhere.
