loss of toenail!

This little piggy isnt quite ready to leave home yet.

I finally lost my toenail! Jess thought it was disgusting. I was glad it was gone. I did 11.3 yesterday all on pretty technical trails, it was fun, but dang! I was sore today. I did 6.66 miles (oohhh! bad #) today, it was really hard. My quads were super sore, but my heart rate was super low and I felt cardio wise that I couldve gone for a long time, but my legs just wouldnt take me much further.

Off the Heezy foh Sheezy

I did a 5 miler yesterday solo and got to run with Mike today and did an hour and 15 min. Im not sure the distance, I didnt check my watch b/c I was about to poop my drawers! I seriously sprinted home praying the whole way that I didnt have to poop in someones front yard. Day off tomorrow and then long on the weekend. I really cant slack on my Sunday run like I have these past 2 weeks. Ive gotta get in that second long run. I hope everyone is doing well. Cheers

Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda

I shoulda ran today. I didnt. I did however run 7 miles yesterday. I HAVE to run tomorrow and thursday - no questions or excuses. I am really wanting to start running on the Buffalo Trail to start getting ready for may 25th!

Who has two thumbs and is a slacker?

This Guy! Well, once again, I slacked off on my second day of long training. I was supposed to do like a 2 to 2 1/2 hour run today, but totally slacked it off. I actually got up at 5am, got dressed, ready to go, and then decided to take a 30 minute nap before I took off - I figured, hey, I got the time... Well, the 30 minute nap turned into an hour and 10 minute nap and then Ari got up and I let Jess sleep in.

I cant slack off any more because I just registered for the Pacific Crest Trail Running Series Washington Park 50K! It is on May 25 (3 days after the newest installment of Indiana Jones - to be viewed with Brian Sexton in Corvallis!) So I cannot, I repeat, CANNOT keep slacking off like this on my long stuff, or I will not survive the 50K. I do not want a DNF (did not finish) attached to my first Ultra.

Nike 5K for Kids

Yesterday I got the flyer for the Nike 5K for Kids up at Nike World HQ. The race is June 7th at 8am. It is only $20 and it is at the Nike Campus! Sweet! Sign up soon, its a really fun race. I ran it last year with Andrew Jones (de-flowered as of yesterday) and it was a blast. Lots off cool post race booths and free stuff.

Today I ran around 16 or 17 (not sure, I accidentally pushed stop on my watch at 14.83 miles) Anyway, I am supposed to run long again tomorrow. Ask me at Dox if I did it! Stay Classy.

Weekday Runnings Informations

Did an easy 5 miler on wed. It was a decent run. I totally slacked on Tuesday. Today I ran with mike and did 8. It felt pretty good. Why is it I always have to pee so much during a run? For that matter, why is it I always seem to have a "poop-mergency"? Those are seriously killing me. Im not sure how to avoid it. I try to "evacuate" before every run, but it seems I like to hold some back just for a mid-run treat. Maybe I should just stop eating. That would solve the problem. Have special days everyone. Cheers to Andrew and Danae on their upcoming nuptials tomorrow night. It will be fun standing up there with you buddy! Its just too bad I cant get too wasted because I have to go long on Saturday!

Donuts are the Devil

I got super hungry last night for something to eat, so Jess went out to Dunkin (Daynight) Donuts and got a dozen. Last night I ate 4 and felt like crap... Didnt go run this morning because I stayed up so late watching a movie and feeling like garbage because I ate all those donuts! So... what is the first thing I did when I got home? I ate 4 donuts again! (the leftovers) Right now I dont feel too bad, but I know its coming. Tomorrow I am running with Mike, that will be good.

No more donuts for a while!
