Retrospective Running (get it?) Diary
June 26, 2009
A look into the minds of .02% of yesterday’s runners:
CPG: God I should have worn mid-high Nike socks to look more lax and less track
PH: This isn’t depressing, I just made the turn out of the starting line and guys are on the other side of the street about to finish
CPG: What percentage of the proceeds went to renting all those porta-potties?
PH: These are some of the biggest asses I’ve ever seen
CPG: What pace is too fast to keep this side part in place?
PH: Hey lady, save your self the embarrassment and just stay home next year
CPG: Dear lady wearing corduroys in a 5k — I hate you
PH: Wonder if Charlie is running or riding his segway?
CPG: I bet Pat already vomited
PH: Jorts and Chuck Taylors while running? Yeah, you’re probably in high finance
CPG: If someone says “on the right” I’m going to punch them in the neck
PH: I wonder if anyone else is rocking out to Heart’s “Alone” on their iPod?
CPG: Leg tattoos. Didn’t you learn your lesson from tribal bands in the 90′s? Call me in a decade
PH: Well, it’s only a little demoralizing that the kid with one leg on crutches has a lead on me going into Kenmore square
CPG: God this is so racist. I can’t wait to drink
PH: Thank God I remembered my compression shorts
CPG: I feel awkward running without a lax stick in my hand
PH: I wonder if the guy spraying people with the hose is only spraying white people. You know, to not bring back the bad memories?
CPG: I wish Thomas Pink made a dry-fit tee
PH: I wonder if Charlie kept his bow tie on during the race
CPG: I’d like to thank all the unemployed hipsters who got off the couch and into their skinny jeans to hand out free Starbucks juices to runners
PH: I hope I remembered to DVR Grey’s
CPG: Nice Oakleys Lance
PH: If I lose to Suzie from accounting, I’m never going to live this down
CPG: I should have stretched. My legs are tight from wearing this 6 THOUSAND DOLLAR suit all day. COME ON
PH: Ok… I’ve gotta work on my “oh, its wasn’t that bad” face because I’m about to meet up with my coworkers
CPG: This was surprisingly not bad. I’m definitely going to fool myself into signing up for more and then say fuck it the day of.
