I would have beaten my time from yesterday. I swear. And if I’m going to win, I have to beat my time. Except, I was sabotaged. My shoelace on my left shoe was the culprit. About 2/3rds of the way through, it decided to come undone. I thought about running with it that way, ya know a little like Kerri Strug after she broke her ankle and still vaulted. Well maybe that’s a stretch. Alas, I had to stop and tie my shoe. And since it’s me, I ended up tying the knot around my headphones. I swear, I can’t make this stuff up.

I ended up 6 seconds slower than yesterday. I think tying a shoe, twice, takes longer than 6 seconds, so I think I would have beaten my time. Or at least tied. Tied. Ha. Get it. Tied my shoe. Tied my time. Can you lose brain cells from running? Moving on…

Of course, I am disgustingly sweaty in my gold MU shirt when I get into the elevator so OF COURSE there are going to be four other people on there and OF COURSE one is going to talk to me about Marquette. I don’t think I even made a sentence. Good one Mandi.

At least I figured out that I should wear MU stuff around the apartment building to meet people. Noted.

Oh and tomorrow I’m going to count the amount of MU shirts I see on my run. Makes me feel home.
