Short shorts

I saw this dude running yesterday. He was quite skinny and rather short in stature. He was shirtless and had on a pair of red shorts that were smaller than even some of my fancy underwear. I kid you not. I turned around to see the rear view of his shortness and actually saw crack. WTF? Plus, how is that even comfortable to run in? I feel like it would be uncomfortable for me, and I don't have any equipment that gets in my way like dudes!! WIERD! (I also wanted to write about the little heron I saw, but after the dude in little girl underwear, I felt that the heron was less interesting.)

More importantly, I had an excellent 5 mile run yesterday, hitting my ten minute pace quite accurately. A good day. I used the TrackThing application on my iPhone and was fairly impressed with it. The mapping feature is a bit wonky, but the GPS and timing feature worked fine. My legs are still twitching from the two rides over the weekend, and I imagine they will keep on twitching till I have a day off. I think my general running schedule is turning out to be three runs a week, middle distance on the first day, long distance on the second day and short distance on the third day. So tomorrow will be a 7 mile run again and then a 4 miler on Saturday, and scaling up from there. Next week I'll be hitting my 8.5 mile mark as my long distance run. I need to find a good 10K and eventually a 10 miler to run in the 6 to 8 weeks or so, to keep me entertained, and to ensure that I don't get too excited about things and increase distances too quickly and get hurt.

Climbing tonight - 11 endurance climbs, hopefully a couple 9s and 10s thrown in there? Don't know if my partner will be there...solo climbs go faster but so much more exhausting. Either way, excited to climb. My injured climbing partner is starting to want to come back, but she's still got another month or so before she's allowed to climb. Shoulder surgery must suck...

Back to the grind.
