So tonight was supposed to be an 8 mile run, but I didn't plan for it and got started too late.
Instead, I decided to go for 3 miles, and ended up running a personal best! It was so exciting. I've never run that fast before, and it felt so good, despite it being really cold and close to 11:30 pm.
And I have to say that I love having the nike ipod+, which gives me little messages of encouragement through my headphones, like congratulating me on my run.

Pet peeve
Cold bread.
Attention restaurants: no one likes cold bread. stop serving it. it's hard to put butter on it and it never tastes as good. So throw it in a warmer or something, huh? One repeat offender is California Pizza Kitchen. Another was a place I visited in DC tonight called Pesce, which had cold bread and small portions.
Anyone else got some pet peeves out there?

Sixer
So I finished the sixer tonight. Now I'm icing my feet with some frozen spinach. It's not as gross as it sounds.
PS, if you haven't caught on yet, this forum is going to be part of my motivation for the Half Marathon Jan 13. 13.1 or bust! That's a pit stop on the way to the full marathon in June, when I turn 25.
And I would be absolutely remiss if I didn't acknowledge my coaches/bike posse: Camilla, my sister, and Tony, my boyfriend. They come with me on my long runs and keep me going strong. How will this play out on race day? Well, let's hope it works out.
Finally, I'm always looking for new iTunes to rock my workout. Please suggest your faves!

Worst pickup line ever
A few years ago I worked at a restaurant that had a fairly young staff. Naturally, the inter-kitchen dating was rampant, but the absolute worst line I heard was this:
Another server asked me out. I told him I have a boyfriend. His question?
"Are you interested in any sidework?"
If you are unfamiliar with the term, sidework refers to the little chores everyone is assigned to do before they leave, like refilling salt shakers or ketchup bottles.
So he was asking me if I wanted to cheat on my boyfriend in the same manner that I might mop the floor. Hot.
What are the worst lines you have ACTUALLY heard?
