A Walk Inside My Mind

Whether you run a full marathon or a half your mind races with thoughts. This past weekend I may have only ran the half but my mind was all over the place. I decided to give you a look inside my head and try to walk you through what was going on inside the old noggin.  Let us begin......

"I hate standing in this fucking corral, what if I have to piss?"
"Would people look at me strange if I just whipped it out and started to piss on the street?"
"This race starts at 7? FUCK I told my wife 7:30"
"Oh look its @pghrunnner standing 2 people in front of me, I should say hi. No I better not bother her before the race."
"And there goes the gun. Time to go to work Shaun, no holding back."
"Jesus it's crowded. I am behind the 1:40 pace group I am going to need to break free and make up some time."
"AHHH why wont these people move and just let me through?"
"Hey I know that guy on the sidewalk, what a dickhead"
"Finally some room, look out people here I come"
"Boom mile 1 down in 7:50, not to shabby!!!"
"I need to hold this pace for a bit.."
"Mile 2...I am still feeling good."
"I hate this bridge, did someone just call my name? hey look it's steph. I better smile and make it look like I am feeling good. She should be running and not taking pictures. Man is she lucky"
"Amanda should be standing here, but since I told her the wrong time I guess she isn't"
"Where did I get 7:30?"
"Mile 4, what the hell is my pace.. damn you Garmin for not working."
"Oh shit I have to piss"
"Finally a port-o-potty, I should invent something that allows you to pee while you run. There goes a minute of my time"
"Look out runners I am fresh out of pee and on a mission."
"Oh shit, wait, yes that is my calf muscle starting to get tight"
"slow down Shaun you can make it up later once the leg gets loose"
"Still hurting"
"Still hurting"
"I should run off the course and hit up that taco bell"
"I hate this bridge and I know my time is way off"
"West end you always get me so pumped"
"So pumped I have to pee again...FUCK!!!!!!"
"Okay Shaun you are down but you are not out"
"There is Station Square, maybe I will see Abby."
"well there goes Station Square and I didn't see Abby, oh well"
"I hate Carson St. so many bars and people drinking and my dumb ass is running"
"There goes my dad, he is probably thinking here comes Shaun.. Jesus does he suck I wish my oldest son still run so at least someone good was running."
"There goes my sister, I need to throw her my water bottle."
"I wish I had something funny to throw at her, like a tennis ball or something."
"Thank God only 2 more miles"
"I hate this bridge, but at least I am almost done. god do I feel bad for people that still have another half to go"
"Beer stop... Don't mind If I do"
"OHHH beer was such a bad idea"
"get up this hill and its all down hill from here"
"what did that group of girls say to me? they said keep going but I heard Damn he looks good. That's right lady's drink it up."
"Finally the top of hill, 1 mile from the finish"
"I should be happy, but I know when I finish I am getting yelled at by the wifey for running a shitty race"
"I like that she gets mad, it motivates me"
"hey that guy is dressed as a Captain America"
"I can see the finish line"
"I am in so much pain, but my body is saying sprint"
"I am going to sprint"
"not yet"
"okay now"
"Thank god I am done"
"give me my medal"
"Where do I get my runner of steel medal"
"What a disappointing race"
"How in the hell am I going to find my wife in this mess, making plans would of been smart"

So there you have what runs through my goofy mind when I am in a race!!!  As you can see it goes all over the place.
