Today was supposed to be an easy 3 miles. It wasn’t. I ran at the park because the gym closed early today for the holiday. We had rain this AM while I took my son to soccer class, then it all cleared out and we’ve had bright sun with big fluffy clouds since. Although those [...]

One hour of crosstraining today. No big surprises, 20 bike, 20 stepper, 20 stepmill. I think I’m stuck in a rut. And stuck in a rut. And getting repetitive. Again. I need more pictures. Not alot because some people have slow connections (like I do because I live beyond the sticks and we just got [...]

Did my last long run of recovery training, and the last long run before the 5K. 4.0 miles at the gym. 3.0 on the treadmill and the last one on the track. I’ll be happy to get back to the long runs on the trail at the park. Indoors is good for conditioning and recovery, [...]

Been a rough week at work and I am dead tired from lack of sleep. They want me to work the weekend too. Holiday weekend. We don’t get overtime pay, but sometimes we get an equivalent number of days off during the week. Without authorization though, I get nothing. Manager is out on vaca and [...]

Just got off the phone with an organizer for a kids fun run my son is entering. I faxed in the entry form and they ended up mispelling my son’s name on the confirmation list. I sent an email to fix it and they said they would forward it on to the people organizing the [...]

Three miles on the treadmill last night. 10:00 pace. I was wathcing my heart rate during the run more this time and saw that it stayed below 150 until I hit 1.8 miles. Then it stayed below 157 the rest of the time. Actually, I think it only spiked to 157 momentarily and stayed in [...]

Yup, damn ugly but still the source of my favorite oh so wonderful confection. This is in a Botanical Garden. This one is actually in “the field”. Lots of colors and shapes depending on where they are and what type. Three main ones: Forestero (most bulk stuff comes from this easily grown and hardy variety)Trinitario [...]

I was watching the Tornado watch announcements on TV while I did my crosstraining today. Apparently “the conditions are favorable for the formation of tornados” today so we have a watch until 5pm. Wouldn’t that just suck? Tornado. Fun to see on TV but not fun to sit in your basement and listen to. They [...]

I was on Lara’s page and walked away for a bit. When I came back later I thought I was on my page because we had the same color scheme. So, I decided to try a different scheme on mine. I’m not sure I like the new colors but maybe they will inspire me to [...]
