9 to 5 What a Way to Make a Living

So, here's the update since HP08's post at the 9 days mark: The nightmares have stopped. No more dreams about not being allowed to run or forgetting equipment. In a real life nightmare, though, the Ochos haven't really figured out what they're going to do with their goos and waters and such the day of the actual race, but they'll probably figure that out in the next few days. Neither of them really want to wear their fuel belts during the race, but they don't really see a way around that. The belts are pretty heavy when full, but they also provide their only means of storage. They'll probably disperse their goos and such to their various race viewers while keeping enough on themselves to survive. They’ll probably only fill a few of the bottles on the belt to try and avoid the weight issues. They love the fuel belts, but it would definitely be nice to not be dragging the extra baggage around.

Now that the Ochos only have two runs left before the big day, HP08 is actually getting a little nostalgic for their weekly running schedulers. It may have something to do with the fact that the Ochos have been doing this running weekly for about half of their relationship, but HP08 can safely say that she is not completely dreading tomorrow morning's 3 miler. One more on Friday but otherwise the focus is on rest this week.





Oh, and the Ocho can't wait to be done with this thing so she can go out boozing with the HPs again. :)
