A Penny for Your Thoughts

Well folks, our long runs are getting REALLY long! I was thinking during my 17 mile run last Saturday, that I am running out of things to think about! Topics I have covered in my head include things such as, but not limited to:
- Which houses I would buy?
- What I would change about each house if I did buy it?
- What is the name of that dog that is chasing me down the street?
- What choice words I would use to tell the creepy honking truck driver how I feel about creepy honking truck drivers if I could!!?
- What I will eat first when I'm done running?
- Beer or wine tonight?
- What will I write about on my next blog post?
- Where the hell am I? I think I'm lost.

So, as you can see, I have exhausted many topics to occupy my mind during my long runs. This weekend we have another 18 miles! Please help me out! Give me some new inspiring, funny, inquisitive, or just different thoughts to ponder during the 3 hours on the road this weekend! Thank you for your help!!

  1. Lynn! I'm with ya. The first 1/2 of my runs usually goes a little something like "How the hell am I going to make it through the 2nd 1/2 of this run?!?" and the 2nd 1/2 of my runs are spent dreaming of the enormous breakfast burrito I am going to make when I get home. It's my standard Saturday post-run meal, and each week they get better, I think. :)

    But here are some other ideas for you:
    * What are you going to do each day during your girls weekend with sisters and mom?
    * What are we going to do on Celebration Sunday after our marathon (specifics - where can we eat, go out that night, etc.)
    * Can you grow a garden in Japan? If so...what will your grow?
    * What is the FIRST activity you are going to do with Rusty when he finally makes it over seas?
    * Does anyone besides me and you actually read this blog?

    :) Love you and can't wait to chat today hopefully!

  2. Questions to ponder:
    -What will your life be like 5 years from now?
    -What will your life be like 20 years from now?
    -Will you go to your 15 year high school reunion? What are the pros and cons?
    -What is really going on with Jon and Kate plus 8?
    -Did Ed really cheat on Jillian? If so, why did we watch that entire season? ;)
    -What names would I give to wines if I owned my own winery-your version of Mad Housewife, etc.
    -What would you do if you won the lottery tomorrow?

  3. LT & JL(O)B,

    I love reading your blog! It is so inspirational/motivating for me! The longest we've done so far is only 11, so you all have had much more time to ponder than I have... but here are a few thoughts for you to mull over on those long runs...

    1. Why is it that we are willing to carry 10 plastic grocery bags into the hosue at a time just to avoid an extra trip to unload the groceries?
    2. If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got togehter, would their kids just be invisible?
    3. Why do I keep all of the songs in my playlist on iTunes when I just skip past them when in shuffle mode?
    4. How exactly are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
    5. If you could have any super hero power what would it be and why?
    6. At what point during the Chicago marathon do you want Julie & Paul to jump in with you? (Not sure what our long run will be, but I will keep you posted!)
