sometimes i get a tiny little bit overextended...

this last month has freaking flown by and it doesn't look like things are slowing down anytime soon. i'm no busier than anybody else, but i keep saying "yes" instead of "no" when people ask for that little bit extra and that's what kills me. instead of one weekend of reserve stuff this last month i did two, to help out. ran a leg in the denver marathon, helped some people move, put in alot of after-hours time at work, silly stuff like that. next thing i know october is gone....

part of the problem was this post though... when i wrote it, i meant to follow it up, especially after i got some comments. so much so that i was awake all freaking night because i couldn't get my brain to shut off. did i get out of bed and start typing away though? no. that would've been way to easy. two days later when i finally got a chance to start typing it out, i hated everything i wrote. all the stuff that seemed so clear in the middle of the night wasn't... i probably spent another 3 or 4 days trying to figure out what i wanted to say and then life interupted again.

oh well. i'm back on track now with other stuff. here's photos of the marathon fun. two weeks before the marathon some folks approached me about running. not a helluvalot of advanced notice. i agreed but said i wanted to run short legs. i'd run multiple legs, but damnit, they'd better be short. turns out the transitions weren't geared that way, there were going to be two 8+ mile legs, a 5+ and a 3+. i agreed to the 3+. no problem. i could gut that out. the morning of one of the other guys was worried, he thought he'd broken a bone in his foot. so with about 30 minutes notice i took one of the 8s. i figured it was all varying degrees of suckage at that point.
