inside my mind



i had to empty out my purse before running errands yesterday and i just had to laugh at the contents. they say you can tell a lot about a woman by what's in her purse. mine reveals the madness of a tapering marathoner. there was the standard fare: wallet, keys, planner, journal, tampons. but i also had a second wallet, about $50 in ones not in either wallet (and i'm not a stripper!), a bow tie, lots of mail, a banana, an apple, a persimmon, a bottle of green tea, a pair of running gloves, a pair of running socks, the non-runners guide to marathoning, and a full sized bottle of advil. all i'm missing is some bodyglide and my shoes! that's a lot to schlep around!

in other news, the ball-between-your-legs yoga i did yesterday has made my butt and hips sore. boooooo! bad for taper, but useful information for later.

this waiting around is driving me nuts. i'm trying to be patient, but i just want to run it already! the expo starts today and goes through saturday. i could be a total geek and spend my time (and all my money) at the expo, but i think that really might tire me out. what i should do i finish the rest of the errands on my list from yesterday, but who can think about work at a time like this!?!?!?!?

How big is your purse!??! YOWZA!

(I just looked through mine and found I have a lot of random crap too...so I'm a hypocrite. Maybe I will do a purse-post of my own!)

I'm so excited for your race!!!

Good god, how much does your purse weigh? Forget about how yoga hurt your posterior, don't you have back issues from hauling all that crap around?!

Marcy said...

a bow tie?!?!?!? And what sexy man did you rip that off of. You saw those Chippendale strippers afterall, didn't you? ;-)

that's why I just wear cargo pants otherwise I'd be carrying around totally random things like forks and cardboard boxes.

a bow tie??

be careful not to walk around too much at expo. you need your legs!

Rhea said...

Yeah, how big IS your purse? I want to see a picture! I'm assuming the bow tie is part of your waitress uniform ...

Glad to know that I'm not the only one to carry fruit around in my purse. :)

Looks like that purse would need to be checked-in baggage at an airport. Yikes, that's a lot. And who loses track of money or hauls around a perishable persimmons. Those suckers are $1 apiece down here!

HAHA! Kinda reminds me of my purse, which is why I downsized... but then again, that's what a bookbag is for!
