Happy.
Really looking forward to my 7 mile run tonight. Worked a bit of overtime the last couple days and pushed back my run 1 day. Suddenly I find myself craving that silent time where I can just ran and get lost in my own head.
I’ve got a 12 mile run on Friday. I kind of doubt I will even notice it’s 2 more miles than my last two Fridays but you never know.
Pickles and bike chains.
Every run is an adventure. Some are fun. Some are a pain in the ass. Sometimes I’m fast and sometimes I’m slow as hell. However, every time I run I’m glad I did.
Well yesterday’s adventure was an interesting one indeed. I dragged my ass out of the house for a 5 mile jaunt. As I got about 2 miles out of town I passed a Russian looking guy(full-on huge beard) and he...
Humble pie.
Quick, go check your best marathon finish time. Now look at Geoffrey Mutai’s time. Now look at his average pace per mile in the marathon. Now look at your FASTEST MILE TIME EVER.
Please enjoy your humble pie.
Peace Tea.
I’ll be damned, 0 calorie, 0 sugar Diet Green Tea by Peace Tea actually tastes good.
Death from above.
Nearly every time I go on a 5+ mile run I pass under a giant bird nest. I’m not sure if it is a hawk or an eagle but that sucker is big and pissed. I wish I could zoom in on my GPS tracked path when I go under the demon’s nest. I’m betting my speed spikes for about 15 seconds.
Well, tonight I risky my life yet again in the pursuit of fitness and glory.
Lunch at work.
What’s in your lunches at work? I tend to just grind a bunch of crap up into a smoothie and call it food. I usually buy whatever fruit is on sale so it’s a surprise every week! Occasionally I’ll treat myself to a Rice bowl or a Panini if I’m not running that day but that’s maybe 1-2 times per month tops.
Today’s special: 1 Bosc Pear, 1 Banana, 1 scoop EAS...
Rookie lesson.
So I worked out at the gym for an hour lifting weights and such and I get home and it’s time to head out running. Being the eco-friendly(Read: Lazy) person that I am I think I’ll just wear the same cloths instead of dirtying a whole other bunch of cloths on a run.
Well I learned a good lesson today. My typical comfy “going to the gym” outfit, long basketball shorts + ...
Just another Monday.
I ate like crap yesterday, hopefully it doesn’t affect my workout. After a day at the mountain and then the hospital I was starving so I grabbed a few burgers. Big mistake. I always feel like I have a lead weight in my gut when I eat stuff like that, you would think I’d learn.
Ah well, one hour of weights and then a brisk 6 mile jog to clear my mind. 27 weeks till the Portland...
