- Get up.
- Curse at the alarm clock.
- Go downstairs.
- Click on The Weather Channel.
- Dress accordingly.
- Head out.
Short sleeve shirt and pants.
I walk up to my starting point, stretch out and I feel a couple of drops. No biggie.
I run my first .25 miles. The drops are becoming a little more frequent than I'd like. Considering I didn't head out with any rain gear and I'm wearing my glasses (damn faulty contacts), I had to make some route decisions. Long story short: I cut my intended 5 mile run to a measly 2 miler. Feeling more pissed off than bummed when I returned home, I opted to head downstairs and cap off the last 3 miles on the Hamster Wheel of Death (a.k.a. - the treadmill).

Thanks Weather Channel. Thanks a helluva lot.
Other observations:
- It was good to see people excited about voting again. It's the first time in my lifetime that that has happened. I'm not gonna lie, when I got my ballot, I had a little hop in my step.
- Thank God the political ads are off the air. Just in time for the Christmas ads! I saw my first one last night. Thanks Hallmark!
- Has anyone ever requested a transcript from their favorite show? "Ya know. I missed the subtext and nuances from last week's episode of Sally Jesse Raphael, "My Life With a Transsexual Horse." Where can I get a copy of the script?
- My son refused to let me put a diaper on him, so I let him run around unencumbered before his bath. All he did was run around and play with his junk. I teared up a little.
- I think that all of the podcast "research" during my runs is actually hampering my ability to compose a decent blog posting. See what learning and research will do to you?

That's my new favorite name for the treadmill now. Thanks!
LOL! at your son and your reaction to his activities. Like father, like son? ;)
You didn't want to run soaked & blind?
Wimp ;)
LMAO at Xenia.
Dude, running with glasses? That's pretty hardcore. Seriously what a PITA LOL
"All he did was run around and play with his junk."
That's something he'll never grow out of... I'm sure I don't have to tell you that though.
Maybe you need a new method of deciding how to dress for your morning run. I highly recommend my method of poking my head out the door and looking at the sky. Although, I guess I can see it better than you, four eyes. ;)
Stupid Weather Channel.
And re: Sally Jessie: REALLY? Wow....
;)
The Weather Channel cracks me up.
BTW, your word verification is *promo*
Loved the post. I am with you, loved the fact that people were so FIRED up about voting (regardless of who they voted for). Loved the comments about your diaperless son.....did the exact same thing with my three year old...loves to run around the house underwareless and naked before his bath. Cracks me up.....when do we lose that total feeling of freedom?
