rant on
Jank and a non-blogging friend both sent me this article about running in something other than traditional US high-heeled, heavily cushioned running shoes. I find it interesting that suddenly there are article popping up all over the place about this. Maybe mainstream sports is slowly catching on?
I could rant about this for a long [...]

I have my annual physical this AM.
No eating after midnight.
No eating until after exam.
Exam is at 10:30.
I don’t think I should have done my weights workout this morning.
I think I lost 5 pounds this morning.

One of these is false:
1) I beat my 5K PR, taking 3rd in my age group
2) My running buddy beat her PR, taking 3rd in her age group
3) They had gooey chocolate cupcakes with thick fudge frosting at the end of the race

Fortunately, the running was very good. :)
We had [...]

Today is another 5K. I’m going to try and beat my old PR once again. I’ve done my speed work. I’ve lost some weight. I didn’t get the sleep I needed this week. :( We’ll see how it goes.
The weather forecast say 55 F by race time, which is bumming me out because all my [...]

Random freaky thoughts here.
I was watching Dead Man’s Chest (Keira Knightley: swoon) tonight. I have watched it several times and each time I do, I see more of the movie, because there’s so much going on in the background. Like tonight I noticed for the first time that Jack picks up Barbosa’s hat when they [...]

The new shoes are here!
After being abandoned by Adidas and left with no Adizero PR’s (the losers!)
After the failure of the Adidas Men’s RLH Cross Spikeless (uncomfortably narrow!)
After the epic failure of the Puma L.I.F.T.’s (horrendously high heeled)
I have finally arrived at my new running shoes. Meet the Mizuno Wave Universe 2:
Aren’t they wonderful? They [...]

Didn’t make the max yet again on the very last day of week six in the 100 pushup challenge.
I’ll be back.
PS
My new shoes will arrive today!

I did another set of intervals tonight at the park. These hurt more than the last ones. It was a little warmer than usual, and I’m concerned that it will very warm for the race. All my training has been in the cold, and I will melt in the heat.
So I put on a long [...]

I’ve had trouble commenting on people’s blogs. I make a comment, it doesn’t show up in the comment list. I try to post again and it says “Duplicate comment. You just said that!”. The comments never show up, not in the bloggers spam pile either.
So tonight when I was commenting, I first tried the usual [...]
