Subject: RE: TAN 24: TANgerine Speedo..i'm going home this weekend for Mother's Day, and i'm going to see my sister and my uncle who are in their tapers for the marathon they're running next weekend. This is the one i convinced both of them to run 'cause, hey, wouldn't it be fun if we all ran our first marathon at the same time.
Now, i am truly VERY happy for them. i am seriously looking forward to cheering for them next weekend. i'm trying to figure out where i can get a cowbell at this late juncture. i'm trying to come up with some super obnoxious things to write on posterboard (personal favorte: "20 miles down, only 10k to go!!" ). Spectating at a marathon can be so much fun.
i feel like a jerk, though, 'cause i've been emailing my uncle periodically to see how he's doing, and he always writes back telling me what he's doing, and it's great...until he asks me how i'm doing, am i cleared to run yet and such. And i never write back... 'cause i don't want to talk about me 'cause there's so much in my head that is so bad that i just want to think about someone else's happiness and... i dunno. And if i just ignored his questions and responded, i know he would ... repeat the question? Or write about how since i didn't respond that must mean it's not going well, and blah blah blah.
Anyway. i have no idea why i just typed this out. Probably because this week has sucked in many ways, most of which have nothing to do with me. Lame. Sorry.
(Yet i post it anyway. i suck. )
