Running in Mascara

This morning I got up and dressed to run.  Jim said he wanted to run but he needed to take the car in to get the oil changed.  By the time he got back it was too late to run because I has a lunch planned with my two of my favorite people.  I had lunch with my slug sister and Marti.  It was great to visit and talk about running and everything else that came to mind.

After I got home and my lunch settled I had this conversation with Jim:
Me:  I am going for a short easy run
Jim:  We could wait until the morning
Me:  I have a 3 mile run on my schedule.  I am going today
Jim:  You are supposed to be tapering
Me:  Tapering does not mean that that you don't run, it means that you run shorter and with less intensity.
Jim:  That's not what it means to me.
Me:  What does tapering mean to you.
Jim:  It means taking two weeks off.
Me:  Well it works for you but not for me.  I am going for a run today.

We went for a run.  We saw Kathy on the trail.  Kathy and I still had mascara on from our lunch earlier in the day.  We often see women in full makeup at races.  I only run in makeup if I had an event earlier in the day.
