You know you're a runner when someone asks you what you're doing this weekend and the first thing you say is, "Well, I have to run 18 miles on Saturday morning..." and then you completely draw a blank on anything else.
Actually, that's not exactly true; this is my "Weekend Indie Rock Doubleheader of Awesomeness," in which I not only have Grizzly Bear in Ann Arbor tomorrow night, but tonight I am attending a sold-out show of the one, the only, the incomparable, the wonderful Sufjan Stevens. Thanks to the miracle of Craigslist, I scored a ticket to this show only a couple of days ago. To say I am excited WOULD BE THE UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE DECADE.
Best wishes to Viper in his quest to break the four-hour barrier at the Akron Marathon tomorrow!

Ooooooo, sorry! But WRONG!
Because this was also the decade Dubya said:
"I'm the master of low expectations."
And that beats your understatement out by ... well ... quite a bit.
Enjoy the concert anyway!
Well, I have to run 18 miles on Saturday morning...
LOL! I usually end up sleeping most of the afternoon because of my Saturday long runs, making it hard to have a social life. People just don't get it that by 3pm I'm ready to hit the hay!
You know your a runner when you openly talk about blisters and bodily functions with strangers.
In other news, I just rocked a sub 6 mile.
How was the long run? Imagine it with a million+ screaming spectators.
Also, good luck Viper. How'd you get a cool ass nickname like that?
I can't wait to hear about the concert!
If you've never checked out Florence and the Machine, you should. They're awesome, too!
hope the concert went well and the run did too!
I love your comment about drawing a blank after talking about my long run. My long runs are such a focus for me that everything else is "extra". I usually have to find something else to say because non-runners don't understand running 18 miles. Hope you had a great time at the concert.
Hi
I dig Grizzly Bear. It is nice to meet you by the way!!!
Hope you loved the concerts. Your blog is cool!!!
