Literally. I went to change in the restroom last week for a lunchtime run and one of my running shoes fell into the toilet. It was a bad omen. It was the first of many snafus that seem to be keeping my from running lately. Oh… I just ran with a wet shoe that day… but more complicated matters arose.
First… I agreed with my wife that I’d keep my runs to one hour or less. That means… no Seattle marathon. =( Now… that definitely made my motivation take a hit… but I am still running. Sat and Sunday runs in my running heaven… and a run to work and home on Tuesday. Parent teacher conferences conflicted with yesterday’s planned runs… they I tried again today… but I couldn’t run to work because I had to pick up a baby sitter… then I planned on running at lunch… but I left my shoes at home. Hopefully not in the toilet.
I will run both days this weekend though... and it should be beautiful in the fall weather.
One thing I can work on now since I am not running long… is speed. Yeah… it seems as if I am bouncing between the two and getting nowhere… but it is a nice wish anyway.

Just saw Run Fatboy Run. It was OK... not really much about running in there.
Gordon: Go on then, run!
Dennis: Isn't there some kind of like... special technique?
Gordon: Well... yeah... you put one leg in front of the other over and over again really really fast.
Dennis: He runs marathons...
Gordon: Why?
Dennis: Exactly!

I am sorry but I seriously laughed hard about that shoe falling in the toilet. That stinks! :) It seems like you are busy with like ten million things. Have a good week and hope you keep your shoes dry!
I also reason like this with myself. But since I completed the Baltimore half marathon on October 11th - I haven't run a single mile. My running buddies have been calling me to come run with them every Saturday where they run 6-10 miles. Is it very selfish of me to take most of the Saturday mornings for myself and continue running? I am trying to answer that question as well :(
