the blogger formerly known as p-loop

from here on out, please refer to me by my new name, p-funk. coined by ecshelto-- perhaps reflecting my somewhat less than pleasant disposition with being on the job market and dissertating (?)-- i've decided that it goes along better with my new rock star status. a litte edgier, don't you think?

what rock star status, you say? let's review what rock stars have in common:

1. they achieve major feats
2. they are trendsetters
3. the paparazzi hounds them
4. groupies

point 1: over the weekend, i survived our first 18 mile run. we started at 7am and some 2 hours 40-some odd minutes later i was done. i ended up running the last 12 pretty much by myself, but it was good mental practice to be on my own. it definitely helped that the weather was nice and cool. anyway, i feel encouraged that i'll be able to make it through the marathon. what's another 6 (math skills dulled during running), i mean, 8.2 more miles?

point 2: i wore my new running skirt. after getting over the initial feeling of looking like a cheerleader, i've decided that it pretty much kicks ass. no bunching, riding, or chafing and it's so cool (literally and figuratively). i'm going to order another in black and i'm leaning heavily towards wearing in the marathon. reaction to the skirt has been positive, so be on the lookout for skirt wearing runners on the streets on ann arbor.

point 3: my running graces were splashed across local television coverage of the crim. i vaguely remember seeing the tv crew out there, but several people said they saw me on tv. i can't locate it online, but i probably looked like this. i'm certain that it'll be debuting on youtube fairly soon.

point 4: use your imagination. we rock stars don't kiss and tell, until we're all washed up and need to relive our glory days.

happy labor day!

your new moniker is tres chic! next step is drop the "p" ala sean combs so you're simply funk. i hear that's how they roll in ohio.

we fully expect littleboxes to set the running skirt trend for men. just like the scots!

i actually advised puffy to drop the "p" b/c everyone was confusing us with each other. that's what happens when your "kind of" famous.

double dork- you really changed your name. In my eagerness, I posted the previous comment twice... wasn't wiping out salacious details or anything like that.
