This guy (imagine me pointing at myself with my thumbs) very disappointed with myself. We have been doing a DIY kitchen remodel and it has been long hours which equals little to no running. I havent run since last week on Tuesday so well over a week off. All the time on my knees doing flooring has really made me feel like I have "old man knees" and hopefully that will clear up soon so I can feel good about life again. I was supposed to run this am with mike, but my kiddo turned down the volume on my alarm clock and I didnt wake up naturally at 4:30am (imagine that!). Anyway, volume has been readjusted, and will be checked regularly. I will do a run this weekend for sure.
Seatbelts.

We dont need no water

I spilled water all over my macbook today. it sucks. I am worried that I will have to buy a new macbook.
However, I did spill the water after I got back from a 4.6 mile run. I felt rough, I am pretty sore from all the running and cycling I have been doing. I will blame the water spill on soreness and muscle fatigue. yeah.. yeah... thats the ticket!

Double Digits
Did a double digit (10) run today with Mike, and a couple of other guys, Bill and Mark. It was challenging for some reason. I was dogging it at the end of the run, definitely been a while since I ran that distance! I got home and we played with Ari for a bit and then around 9am he took a nap, and so did I! I slept till 11:30 and it was glorious, I totally couldve slept more. Here is what Ive eaten since I got up. I ate a Snickers Marathon energy bar before the run, then when I got home, I drank a glass of chocolate milk as a recovery drink (very good, btw) then I took my nap, and now its 12:30 and I am cooking some chicken to have with some vegies and rice. However, while that cooks, I am making coffee, eating a cookie, a cheeze stick, and drinking a coke (I am a pepsi man). I really dont eat horribly, but I really dont eat great either. I need to work on this somehow. Any eating advice is welcome.
Seatbelts.

Woah...
It has been awhile since Ive updated. Im not doing too good right now at posting my runs. However, I have been running... probably not as much as I should, at least, I feel that way, but I have been running. Last week I did a couple of BP runs with Mike where we did pick-ups for 1/4 mile every lap. It was great. Yesterday I did 9 with mike with 7 pickups for the run. I was surprised at how good I felt during the whole ordeal. Its probably the longest Ive run in months! Mike is gearing up for Run Like Hell in Oct, I cant do that race b/c I will be in Missouri visiting my family. Im going to try to hook up with Mark Maus and run with him the morning of the college football game. Hopefully that works out. We will have to do 13.1 to mimick the 1/2 marathon I will be missing out on! Im trying to cycle train on off days, which I did this am for about an hour. Anyway...
