As we inch closer to the Labor Day Weekend, I’m getting excited. Not because of the long weekend and definitely not because of the traffic. I stopped being “Can’t Wait For the Weekend” Guy a very long time ago. I am excited to have family and friends over for a ceremonial “End of Summer” gathering. Oh, and a few of us are actually registered to run in the first organized race of the second half of the year.

Life lesson #81 – Don’t be “Can’t Wait for Weekend” Guy. You will only be make yourself miserable Monday 8am to Friday 5pm. That’s a lot of self-imposed misery,

It’s a 10K. I can never remember the distance in miles — always have to Google “10K equals how many miles?” Come on, you can’t tell me I’m the only one. 

Apparently, of the entire population of the world. About 7 billion people (this I didn’t have to Google), only 23,400 people are searching “10K equals how many miles” Now I’m hoping with this extra focus on 10K and cutting a pasting images of the distance, I will officially reduce the search results to 23,399. I declare for now on I will remember 10k = 6.2. And if that fails, when I’m running, I’ll just keep an eye out for the finish line when I reach 6 miles.
