Due to the desire to write, yet lacking much of an idea--let's try a good ole recap of the week, hopefully in a comedic way, of sorts. Tried a few of those awhile back to relatively positive reviews.
Thurs; Dec 10...
7:00-8:45 PM--Play a little roundball with the fellas at home in Pretty Prairie. Only managed enough for 2-on-2, but it was fun, as small town basketball usually is. Then this one crazy cat apparently tripped over something (no one saw it) and watched his ankle swell to the size of a beach ball within minutes. He claims he blocked a shot on the play. Ironically, no one saw that either.
Fri; Dec 11...
I do not remember this day. It must not have happened.
Sat; Dec 12...
9 PM-4 AM (Sun)--Hang out in Hutchinson. Watch I Love You, Man for the first time. I pretty much am Paul Rudd. Except for the whole fiancee thing.
Sun; Dec 13...
4:57 AM--Finally arrive home. It should be a 30 minute drive, max. Worst fog I've ever seen in my life extended the drive a bit. Not pleasant.
6:00 PM--Game time.
6:53 PM--Another close loss, 0-4. 62-68, bad guys. For the first time, I wasn't horrendous. Barely. By my count: 16 points, 13 rebounds. Estimate of what I probably should have had: 28 points, 18 rebounds. Had a nice blocked shot on a former teammate I admire a lot (got called for a nonsense foul, but it was a make-up call for something I got away with previously).
Missed a few chippies--pause to check if "chippies" is a real word or just basketball slang. Chippies: Plural of chippy--a promiscuous young woman. Yikes. Definitely not what I meant. Rephrasing...I missed a few easy baskets.
Oh, promiscuous. Easy! Yeah, I get it now...
7:51-9:18 PM--Get back to gym in Pretty Prairie and join the hometown blokes for some 4-on-4.
7:59 PM--Receive a message that totally spikes my curiosity. Like a volleyball. You know, except not boring. Guffaw.
Mon; Dec 14...
11:45 AM-2:15 PM--Get some good games in on the courts at Wichita State. My team won in its first 7 games. Then a loss, then two wins, a loss, and a win. 10-2? In pickup ball? Pshaw, I'll take it.
7(ish) PM--Watch a pretty intense double-overtime Middle School game. Pretty Prairie wins on a tip-in at the buzzer. That kid will remember that moment forever. I know I have a few moments like that. One that was eerily similar, in fact.
Tue; Dec 15...
8 PM-12:30 AM (Wed)--Hang out in Hutchinson again. Pizza rolls and bread sticks from "The Hut" and a drink from Sonic? Eh, fuggedaboutit! <-- imagine an Italian accent.
Wed; Dec 16...
3 PM-6 PM--Jaunt to Wichita. Pick up a few Christmas gift on very limited budget. Result: I'm an awesome big brother, a decent son and pretty solid brother-in-law. As for being a little brother? Jury still out.
6:30--Taco Bell. Cheesy Gordita Cruch. And some soft shells on the side. No lettuce. Dr. Pepper. Yum.
This is a very anti-climactic ending, but that's pretty much all I've got this time.
Do the right thing,
Derrick

This is why I'm not running...
Day 14: INcomplete
Week 2: Complete
Morning session: 6.03 miles
Evening session: 0 miles
Total distance: 6.03 miles
Today was a big disappointment. It was 107 degrees at around 5:45 PM (about an hour before my scheduled run), so I decided to go to Pizza Hut with my mom and brother, and run when I got back.
But it stormed like crazy until dark, and then I had an important, hour-long phone talk with one of my best friends, Katie--running was pretty much out of the question by then, anyway. So needless to say, the day--the whole week, really--was a letdown. :(
Here's a video here, in case you don't believe me. I'm a weird dude. You've been warned...
**Late added editor's note...OK, that was a tease. Stupid thing won't upload for the life of me. I tried and tried, but it's 1 AM, and it's just not working. Too bad, too, because I found it rather comical.**
Darn it.
Week 2 stats:
73.20 miles--10.43 miles/day
4.0 lbs lost
July stats, up-to-date:
163.63 miles--11.69 miles/day
9.5 lbs lost
Comparison:
Week 1: 90.43 miles
Week 2: 73.20 miles
While I am still on pace to reach my goal of 300 miles for the month, my drop-off concerns me. I need a big day tomorrow (I'm thinking 15+ miles), and as a result of a sluggish week 2 showing, I may not attend rodeo at all, after all. Unless I get some cool out-of-town friends in the area, then I could probably head up. We'll see...
Glory Road now...
D, out
