Road Kill

So I am learning the "rules of the track"  They are VERY specific and not to be broken.  Some people are very particular about the rules.  My friends told me of a woman the other day that would yell "EXCUSE ME" loudly every time she ran by them on their warm up.  I thought it was funny until my NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE last night!! :)  I did my normal treadmill workout (I completed day 3 of week 2) then off to the track I went.  I like to do another run on the track...it just makes me feel like I am really a runner!! ha The difference in the track is that there are other people up there.  I have to worry about going around people or people going around me.  I like to shoot daggers from my eyes at those who are flash lightning on the track.  There was a guy up there last night who was just that....soooo fast.  I watched him in envy as he lapped me time after time again.  Grr slow down mister!!  Well the rules are walkers to the inside runners to the outside...I THINK!!! Who knows!!  I was slowing down from my run and then BAM...my brush with death!! Flash came running so fast beside me and so close I think he even grazed my shoulder.  IT SCARED THE BE-JESUS out of me!!  I thought I had had a collision...or even worse BROKEN THE RULES OF THE TRACK!! So for the next minute and a half (my walk time)  My heart was beating sooo fast!!  I mean really guy...you can't slow your speed down for five seconds to not give a newbie a heart attack???  I wish someone would have been with me...bc I jumped and might have even made a squeal. 

All this running is making me TIRED!!! I mean I was exhausted this morning.  I could have stayed in bed all day.  I thought exercising was supposed to give you energy.  I am totally drained today!! I am excited about my afternoon.  I get to see a couple of friends, followed by a business meeting, and then racquetball with my husband. 
I am not sure if I have ever played.  We attempted tennis once but got sooo sick of chasing the balls we gave up.  I was always a softball player so it has been challenging for me to learn to swing a racquet.  I think it will be fun...he will probably kick my butt...but at least we will have fun.  See I'm so tired I am even being a good sport! ha! 


(ps I had the funniest racquetball picture but I can't get it to upload!!! grrr)
