it's 5:30 in the morning.

i'm gettting ready for a race (well, its more of a training run for me than a race, but who's splitting hairs?)... today is the nike women's 1/2 and full marathon.

this race starts early (by my standards) and last year i remember being half asleep at the starting line, standing in the dark among throngs of women. not an ideal way to start a day.

so this year, i got up early so i could eat, drink some coffee, do some work and jam out with some music...

i was having a jolly time dancing around my bathroom with my ipod, until i realized, being decked in all black today, that i looked like one of their posters -- a black sillhouttes dancing, clad in white ear buds.

ugh.
damn.
sigh.

nothing is sacred these days, is it?
such a simple act, ruined by its commonplace in mass culture.

oh well - it was time to eat breakfast anyways...
