My hip is really bugging me so I figured I’d take it slow and run without a goal time or speed in mind. I’m going to ice the hip tonight again and hopefully that will help.

Also, I’ve been trying to hit a goal of 5 runs in the next month under 9:30. That doesn’t sound too hard, but for a little person with little legs is a lot slower than a big person with big legs…no matter how out of shape the big person is. ESPECIALLY if the little person has been training on long distance only for years. :) Today would have made it if I would have paused my nike+ when i walked..but that’s kind of cheating, right?

SPEAKING of cheating. The walker in the beginning runners challenge on Nike+ is still ahead of me and still pissing me off. Although, I’m only 17 miles behind him…so I could catch him by the weekend if he’s tapered off. That makes me mad. It’s a runner’s challenge… not a walker’s challenge. The guy behind me is giving me a run for my money, although he’s a jog-walker…either way, more credible than the walker who obviously straps it on during work (22 minute miles…? really? I have seen faster snails) that, and the jog-walker advertises it in his/her username. Although, really, I’m kind of cheating because I’m not a beginner; however, I’m about as fast as a beginner. (see below)

Anyway, I’m super frustrated right now because the internet connection isn’t really working all that well and I just realized that I may have accidentally deleted the e-mail with my NIN tickets… totally a bonehead move, I know. So here I am trying to get on ticketmaster’s site and figure out if I can get a new PDF of the tix (probably not because they’re moneygrubbingwhores)…and it’s going sooooo sloooooooooow. :/ WHAT TO DO?????? I’m almost surprised that NIN sells tix through ticketmaster, but I guess it’s up to the venue to decide who to go through for ticketing, not the performer. Pearl Jam tried to boycott ticketmaster back in the 90s, but was unsuccessful because they were really limited in the venues in which they were able to perform. Not cool. I HATE ticketmaster.

OH okay. So thank goodness. I finally got in and there’s a link to print my tickets… YAY!

So now that I’ve got that taken care of…I’m going to sit here and wait for my run to show up so I can post that picture…
