Crap, my blog!!

I forgot, I'm a blogger of miles. All right, so it appears that I am back on track here. I got out Tuesday, Wednesday and today for my five mile route. It feels great! My jaw is still hurting, but my body feels good. So February and March kind of sucked for miles. Hopefully I'll get things turned around here in April. I've got the Komen Race for the Cure 5K at the end of the month and that should give me some pretty good motivation. I would love to run a sub 25 min 5K. That would be awesome. My weight is down since the surgery, probably due to the fact that I am on a soft food diet. I'm not hungry, which is good and my weight is down 8 lbs since the surgery, so that is great.

What's Happening?

OK, so I've been kind of nonexistent lately. Sorry. Had some serious motivation issues lately. Got them fixed, was feeling really good. Rolled off some great workouts and then BAM! Oral surgery from hell. I went in last Friday, 03/18/2011, to have two wisdom teeth removed. What was supposed to be a simple surgery turned into a nightmare. The roots of one of my teeth had fused to my jawbone and this became a real pain in the ass, well face but you know what I mean. I came to while they were working on the problem tooth and that wasn't fun. Then knocked me out again and when I came to again all was over and it looked like I had been tortured. Bloody bandages all over the place. My teeth in a tray in complete shatters. Holy Crap, it sucked. Still sucks. My face is swollen, I look like a chipmunk with a too big acorn in its mouth, or as a co-worker pointed out Fat Max, me before I lost all the weight. Thanks for that. Anyways, as soon as I get the OK from the Dr. I will be back out there. Hell, I might sneak in a walk tomorrow if I'm feeling this good. We will see.

Back in the Saddle Again

All right, after a week or so of laziness, I hit the road again. It felt great. Good weather today. This is the weather I like. Low 60's, high humidity, little wind. My bread and butter. Love it.

Wednesday and Thursday

Yesterday day I had a really good walk/run. Felt great. Today, sometimes the whole getting up at 4 thing is unbearable, so today was a sleep in day. I feel slightly recharged and I am looking forward to the weekend. Hopefully the planets align and all of my houses are in order so I can get some sleep. NOT DOING A DAMN THING! Not really, probably going to do a lot of house work, but no traveling, dammit!

The 5K, Monday and Tuesday

All right I ran a 5K in Bastrop on Saturday. It was pretty awesome. My wife, Brother in-law and a good friend all participated and fun was had by all. I ran my fastest 5K yet, coming in at 26:31, 30 seconds faster than the one I ran in November. Next came the brother in-law, his first 5K and he finished in 31:36. Pretty good for his first one. But the big story was my wife. She rocked this 5K, taking 12 minutes off her last time to come in at 45:42. Our friend Sarah is a running freak and she came and paced Amanda for the whole 5K. She's pretty awesome and we thank her greatly for the support and help. Golfed on Sunday and didn't do anything on Monday. My legs, shit, my whole body was tired on Monday, so I took the day off. Today I got up and did my usual 5 miler. Felt good. Legs are still tired, but they'll be all right.
