Tim: Why are waking me up at 4:30 in the morning?
Me: Because I have to start running again.
Tim: But I thought you said you weren’t training for awhile.
Me: This isn’t training. This is running.
Tim: Ooooookay, so if it’s just running, why do you have to do it at 4:30?
Me: Because I need to get back on schedule.
Tim: Why? Do you have a race planned?
Me: No, I just told you. I’m not training. I’m just running.
Tim: So you have to get up at 4:30 in the morning to just jog around the neighborhood?
Me: Are you kidding me right now? Did you just say I was going jogging?
Tim: Okay, okay. NOT jogging. And NOT training. Just running.
Me: Exactly.
Tim: On a schedule.
Me: Yep.
Tim: At 4;30.
Me: Uh huh.
Tim: And how will I know when it switches to training?
Me: I will cut out your spleen and feed it to the goldfish if you say I’m going jogging.
Tim: We don’t have goldfish.
Me: I think you’re missing the point.
Tim: Please go running.
Me: Love you!

He still doesn’t get it does he? We runners are a weird mob and it’s best not to question the logic in anything we do. It’s our logic therefore it’s logical.
