Sometimes your good, Sometimes your real good!

Nailed it people. I passed my best time by nearly 15 minutes. My smile was completly genuine as I crossed the fnish line and looked at my watch. I'm happy. The race itself was awesome. The course was flat every couple of miles there was a band senic route. The only problem is when you get water people get to the side drinkers on either side so those of us who don't want any can run in the middle. Learn the necessary protical please. The weather was a bit warmer than we expected low 70's at the finish. So the sweatshirt did not last long.

Oh I almost forgot I met Frank Shorter.

Ok all I am happy. I will be taking a few days off to completly recover then I will begin posting again at my usual unpredictable way.

lazy, lazy, LAZY!!! Well maybe

Thats me, I have not been running since my last post. Now don't get me wrong I do stuff the usual routine consist of to places work and home. I will being with work

If we don't go to the gym ( yes people I have a job that pays me to go the gym) on that note I feel you sould be happy that firefighters go to the gym. But everyday it is not possible so if we don't I do 300 pushups not all at once but throughout the day. At home I hit the gym and usually pretty hard ther are of course lazy days but I am still there. But running has not been happening although i do pretty invloved leg workouts. I just really hate running in the cold, I don;t know why I just do. Super hot days no problem the cold just sucks.

I wil get back with the program but not tomorrow I have to deliver Christmas presents. Friday for sure....... Sunday For sure.

Running scared

So I took off yesterday about a quarter of the way through my five mile loop, I ran later in the day because I hate running in the cold. So realized holy crap it's Wednesday the kids get out early should I turn around. Hell no I can make it. Well first I was so wasted I did not run today second a shattered all my pr's and I made it. But oh my gosh I was freaking wasted nearly puked running much faster than my abilty. So that was it. I did have this stupied idea that maybe I should try that once a week or so just for some good speed work prob not. So another story as most of you know I have a family friend who is a major ultra runner she ran badwater last year and just recently ran another 100 miler in 22 hours. Well they have been trying to get me and her boyfriend together for a while. You have so much in common they all say. Well we met let just just say he will be running his 13th western states ultra marathon plus countless others next year so ya I liked him hell I practially bowed. On top of that he is a great guy.

I have also been asked to crew for badwater again hopefully this year I can make it.

Ok folks or folk

I gotta go

Back into it

Two runs in one day. 1 word AWESOME. nothing real far one 3 miles with hill work then later that evening a fast 5 miler. I ahve to admit this is not the first time I ahd done this and the last time it led to Achilles tendinitis, or at least help it along. Well I don't care I need to run and I will. needless to say I am back out in full force. I wish I had more to say but this is a running blog and and that was all the running I have done in the past day. So more tomorrow.

Stay Safe
