Today I am in Memphis and am presently sitting in the Northwest Airlines lounge near to The Loudest Woman on Earth. I'm sure you've heard her: she of the piercing voice and constant giggles, lacks any mechanism to assess personal volume, when laughing she claps and flails back in her chair in a convulsive manner that makes me worried for her physical well-being.
Today is one of those days where I am sitting in the airport, delayed and bored, which inevitably leads to a rather mundane and bitchy series of observations as to what is going on nearby. Case in point: The Loudest Woman on Earth is now sitting next to The Loudest Sneezer on Earth. He just let one rip and it made me jump. I think situation calls for NW Club wine. Since the time I started writing this paragraph he has sneezed an additional 6 times and it's starting to freak me out.
I'm scheduled to run 10 miles this weekend in prep for the Santa Barbara Wine Country Half Marathon (http://www.runsantaynez.com/index.htm) which I am running on May 10. Hard to believe that in a little over 6 weeks I'll be doing another 1/2 marathon in a place I've never before seen. I've also entered the Soldier Field Ten Miler, the Bolder Boulder (10K in Boulder, CO), and, of course, the Chicago Marathon! I'm planning to run the Big Sur Half Marathon, which is actually in Monterey, not Big Sur, and is taking place on my birthday! It's weird to think that I have an actual race calendar (though it's not especially thought out, except that I want to do halfs about 2 months apart and run the marathon this fall). All part of thinking and living more like an athlete.....
