New Policy: Only Run if I'm Being Chased

...and then only if i'm over 90% sure that the thing chasing me is for sure going to eat me. and only then if it will only be a short run.

have i mentioned before that my stupid stinkin' coworkers are all health nuts? they all run long distance and eat healthy and even though they've had a few kids each, you'd never know it looking at them. so...in the spirit of shared health consciousness and against all better judgment, i signed up to run a 5k in a few wks. it's only 3 lousy miles, but for me, it's pretty much a death sentence. and apparently signing up for it and getting the cute little race t-shirt isn't enough, you have to actually train for it. so one of my coworkers (who's running the 10k-6 whole miles of insanity!) asked me if i wanted to run for a few miles this morning. much to my dismay, when i showed up at 10am at the assigned trail head, i found out that she actually meant we'd go for a run and that wasn't code for "going to the local grill for pancakes." so i ran. and whined. i probably spent more calories on the latter. i ran a total of about 2 mls and walked another 2 1/2 or so. and now i want to not move ever again. which will make it hard for me to kill my coworker. i'll find a way.
