Why we run

I hate running......

early in the morning that is. I ran this am at 5:45. Thought I would run into the garden group and maybe see as close to wolrd class runner as I know JT. But he prob has some lame ass excuse like he was tired from a 50 or he had to be in Denver. None the less it was not fun getting up before the crack of dawn. I need to get up at 2:30 am to be feeling good enough to jog by 5:30. But unfortunately this will be the only time I can rally count on MY time to run. I hate running...... before 3:00pm

Happy White Easter

It is snowing harder now than it has all season! Must be Easter Sunday. I've seen more 'white' Easters than I have 'white' Christmases. Since I've been up to feed dogs, make coffee,clean kitchen and start blogging my car went from clear to covered bt .5". Should make for an interesting day.
Hope springs as yesterday I took a tennis ball and rolled it on my hip and very tight hip flexor. Almost instant reduction in discomfort. Yossa only been 2+ years. Can hardly wait to do more today.

Back to the future

Why can't I remember things that seemed to work for me. In my youth I would work till 7pm and go run after that for my second run of the day. What got me thru that late night run?
COFFEE
Now last week I started to have a small cup before my afternoon jogs. It works. Why couldn't I remember. Coffee is better than a nap and takes less time. A nap then coffee would be ideal but..
Training or jogging has been going which is good. Ran 50 minutes tonight was a struggle but made it. Thanks Gordo and Rich.

Too Full

And that ain't my belly! The days are just packed with stuff to do. Building some new stuff for the store and painting windows in the house plus all the other shit I have to do. I'd better get up early and get some exercise.
Had a good run yesterday ~50 minutes thru Red Rocks. I found a new short cut to the trail from the house. It's a much steeper climb up the backside of Crystal Hills. Oh boy a steeper hill; what the hell am I thinking? The short cut makes a 65 minute run about 50. And till I really get fit I guess I'll have to climb. Ran again tonight just a 30 mnute recovery jog. I still sweated! So it musta been a workout. This weeks goal is every day! And No Wheat! (lucky peanut M & M's are gluten free)

Back to Springtime

The snow is gone and it'll be 60 when I jog sometime soon. The trails are a bit muddy and I just got a new pair of NB 904s. Better get them broke in and muddy. The hills still have a bunch of snow. Actually thought about snowboarding today but a 63 hour work week just killed my old fat ass. I'll not do that this week!!! I think a run thru Red Rocks is on the docket! Later.

Time flies

Think I've won the war with the woodpecker. But then again there is snow on the ground and no birds in the air. We'll see.
Didn't get a chance to jog yesterday. DAMN. Was gonna last night but due to things beyond my realm of control I didn't get home till after 9:15. A freaking 12.5 hour workday. I do love my job but I also love the fantasy I have about having a personal life. I also ate like crap yesterday,lots of wheat, and now feel like said food from yesterday. I just hope it does it's job soon and makes a turd. We are expecting a big snow storm today. We need it badly. Right now there is just a dusting of white stuff and the sun is peaking thru some scattered clouds. Hope we get a bunch of the white stuff.
