I didnt run today. I felt bad about it too. I wish I wouldve. Will I run tomorrow? I doubt it. I suck.

USA... USA!!!
Watching the Olympics lately. I am ready to watch the 800 and see Nick Symmonds destroy the field! At least I hope he does... It'll be fun to see Galen Rupp run too. I watched him live at Bush Park in his NCAA XC debut - it was awesome.
I did hills today with mike and totaled over 6 miles with warm-up and recovery running. I felt pretty good about it. I am contemplating getting up tomorrow and doing just an easy 3 or 4 miles just to keep the wheels moving.
I finally finished Mikes Fixed Gear bike and now I feel okay about riding mine! I commuted to work on it on Monday and it was fun, Today, I rode my scooter to work and I seriously felt guilty about it! The whole time (okay not the whole time, but certain parts of the ride) I kept thinking about how I could be riding my bicycle! I am going to try to keep riding my bike as much as possible. I am gonna ride the fixie tomorrow to add some more challenge to it.
Any thoughts??

just a shade...
Did just a bit or a shade over 6 today. It was the first time running in the rain this year that I can recall, at least before 6am that is... Today is Ari's b-day party, even though he turned 1 on this past tuesday. We got a pony keg of Widmer Bros Hefe. I am stoked about that, for some reason, that makes the whole thing funner! It should be a fun day.

Easy Trotting
Did an easy 6.5 today with mike. It took just about an hour and felt really good. Mikes family recently blew up a local tri. It was pretty amazing. His twin daughters took first and second in their age group and his oldest daughter (by 2 minutes) got 7th overall women. Pretty awesome.
Tonight starts the BP fun run series, every thurs in aug. I am not gonna make it there tonight, but will do at least one before Aug ends. Hopefully I do better than I did last year.
Gotta jet off to Albany to take my motorcycle endorsement driving exam. Then I will be scooting legal.

hills, glorious hills
Did hills with mike and a new guy today, it was good. we started doing 400's, did 2 of those, then did 2 800's. I was trying to hustle home to get some extra sleep and we did 1 200. I got home, showered up, etc... and crawled into bed and then the kiddo woke up! I got up with him and let Jess sleep in. Today is Ari's first birthday!! It will be a fun day with everyone.

good stuff
Did a nice 5+ with Mike today, we are planning on a 10+ miler tomorrow. Should be doable. I didnt get that job I wanted... but alas, better things must be out there. I am a little down about it, and that kinda zaps my motivation. Its a good thing there are friends to run with! Also, I started watching the show Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, that show is awesome!! I highly recommend it.
To all you readers out there, send me a comment about what motivates or encourages you!!
