65 Days and counting.

Yesterday was softball doubleheader night with the new men's team I play on. We got crushed. We got enilated. And then we imploded. I was playing second. There was a man on first. The batter hit a grounder up the middle. Perfect for a double play. But, Bill the shortstop and I took the same route to the ball and nearly collided. The ball shot past us into the outfield right between our left centerfielder and our right center fielder who just stood there. Booth of them looked at each other (little league moment) and expected the other to be hustlin'. For the next hour plus they yelled at each other in the field and on the bench. It would have been comical, if it was so depressing.

They say softball is grown men playing a game like boys. But, I don't think this is what they meant.

So, this was the 65th day of consistant exercise. I hit the ball hard almost every at bat right into the glove of a fielder. When I hit it weakly, I would get a hit. Go figure.

But, hey this is a blog for Runner's right? I didn't run.

But, I did read many of your blogs and I've noticed that there's some great words or phrases that are unique to running. My favorite is 'Vanity Fartlek' or when you run harder when you are in eyesight of someone, then slowdown when you are alone. I read other runners talk about being 'chicked' in races. They are usually fast males that don't like the ideal of women passing them in a race. I don't use this term. Because, quite frankly, most of the women are in front of me anyway. Heck, I get grandma'd and grandpa'd all the time. And if another kid in a baby stroller sprays me with his sippy cup one more time as his mom shoots past me, I'm gonna scream. Anyway, what running terms are your favorites?
