The Runners' Lounge Take It and Run Thursday (TIaRT) theme this week is cardinal sins of running, and based on Nate's feedback to most of my running questions during the last marathon season, I might be an expert in this area. Sometimes it seems that instead of asking a running question, I should just go and do the opposite of what my gut tells me. That usually works in the rest of my life. Whenever I wonder if my desired actions are right or not, I figure they're not and should just avoid what I want to do.
Get in my car and drive to Quebec with my high school French text book and never come back? Often want to do it, but not sure if I should. Ergo, don't do it.
See how many cosmos I can drink and still read Fox in Socks to my son without mistakes? Could be fun, but not sure if I should. Ergo, don't do it.
But I digress. Cardinal sins of running.
Based on today's run, I would advise you that it is proper behavior to stop at a traffic accident and make sure the bloody driver is okay instead of ignoring the situation for the sake of your splits. (He was fine.)
A better piece of advice is probably not to read my blog for advice on the cardinal sins of running. I don't know what the hell I'm doing most of the time. Any advice I would give is probably so obvious it's not worth mentioning.
Check the weather.
Tie your shoe laces.
Don't hold your breath.
Try to remember how to get home.
Avoid the temptation to run into the path of an oncoming car just to mess with the driver's head.
That's all I got. You can thank me later.

Fox In Socks is probably not doable but I think Dr Suess' ABC is an easy one when tipsy :P
Wow that's nuts about the accident. After he said he was fine, you didn't punch him in the face for screwing up your splits? ;-) He was already bloody, right? No one would be able to tell. (totally kidding)
hilarious!
Billy Joel said it best - "Advice is cheap, you can take it from me." What a great double ententre that is.
Equal to Paul Newman's (from the all-time great classic, Buffalo Bill) - "The last thing a man wants to do - is the last thing he does".

K.O.K.O. Mama
Now, see, I would actually think that Fox in Socks after a few cosmos would be fun! You know, in that "Moms can slur, too, kids!" kind of way.
Hope the accident wasn't too serious -- bloody driver doesn't sound good!
Hahahaha, you're killing me!! Hilarious post :)
Wait, I'm not supposed to hold my breath while running?
Hhaha, that's great! love it!
