twenty six point two

I was dating this guy, and I told him that I was planning to run the National Marathon -- this was in February. And he said, "You know that's 26 miles don't you?" As I was around mile 24, that came back to me and I came up with my response, "26.2 ... asshole."

Today I saw him for the first time both since he dumped me and since the marathon. I really wanted to some how bring up the marathon, but couldn't think of a way to do it that didn't go "I ran a marathon, nanny nanny boo-boo stick your head in doo-doo." When I qualify for Boston, I'm definitely busting out the "nanny nanny boo-boo" song.

I mostly do things for myself, but occasionally proving something to the assholes is good motivation.

I don't think I've ever heard that song past the nanny nanny boo-boo part. I kinda like the end. :) I say use anything and everything you need to to get you to your goal. If that means proving a thing or two to an asshole along the way, go for it!

And thanks for the link to my blog, btw!
