Sunday and Monday

Yesterday, Sunday, I got in a really good run.  5 miles, which, up until a couple of weeks ago I'd never run, in the freaking South Texas heat and humidity.  The last mile was hard.  But I sucked it up and got it done.  This morning was a no run at all situation.  I just took it easy with the dog.  Three miles at a nice easy pace.  I am really stoked about my running abilities now.  My body feels great and legs are feeling good.  I hope I have many more miles to come.

YES!

Today I went out to Eisenhower Park in SA and ran on some trails out there.  Back when I was FATMAX I came out here and could barely walk up to the tower without stopping to catch my breath.  Today I RAN to that fucking tower and kept going.  It felt fucking awesome.  Excuse my language today, but I feel too good.  It just feels excellent to see the progress I've made.  Yay ME!!  I think you can check out my route here.  If not, try and copy and paste the below link.  If neither work, well, sucks to be you.  Kidding, sorry.

Stupid Alarm

I reset my alarm yesterday morning and forgot to re-reset it last night for this morning.  I woke up 45 minutes later than I usually like to.  I wasn't able to get in a full 5 miles but worked in 3.  And I felt pretty damn good.  Except for the freaking wind.  Good Lord, heading back was miserable.  12-22 mph winds in the face really suck.  But I made it and felt good.

HOLY CRAP

So, it has been a while.  Nothing wrong here, everything is great.  Running more and more.  I've been putting in more miles running than I ever have.  Now I am able to run a good 5 miles without stopping.  It's pretty fucking awesome.  Still walking with the Dog, but as it gets warmer it is harder for him to go long distances.  The warmth and humidity really wipes him out.  Life is good right now.

Komen Race for the Cure

What an awesome event.  I had a great time yesterday.  I ran a PR of 25:32.  It was a little sketchy though.  I only got 4 hours of sleep the night before, it was pretty warm and humid and there were a gazillion(30K+) people out there. But I ran great.  My awesome Wife did a PR as well.  I am so proud of her.  The rest of the day was pretty rad as well.  We went to Prom, my wife is a high school teacher, and had a blast.  I had a great day, as my three year old would say.
