been a while...

Its been a while since I last posted anything, there maybe some repeat info, but mostly new. I ran on Wed and Fri with mike. We did hills on Wed and I ran 6 with him on Fri, we did some speed pickups every lap, it was good. We finally got all moved in, and on Mon, Tues, and Thurs, I did cycling on the trainer. It was fun. Sorry for the weak post, it will get better, I promise. I am still settling into a new routine at our new house!

Moving Blues...

I havent run since Friday! We started moving from our Apt. on Thurs and it has been crazy busy since. Trying to re-organize is a pain. I have however, set up my trainer in the garage (thats right, I have a garage now) and have cycled in the am the past 2 mornings. I think that is going to be my non-running day thing I do to keep moving. It was hard getting up early today. We finished V for Vendetta last night and it didnt get over until after 11, so it was hard getting up at 5am, Ari got up at 4 and cried, so we both got up to try to calm him down. So I reset my alarm for 5:50 and woke up at 5:47. I was seriously thinking about hitting the old snooze button but thought better of it and hopped on the bike and listened to some UYD.

flipping the script

Wut Up!! I was supposed to do hills today with mike, ran to meet him, and he said he just wanted to do some recovery running. I was so down with that. We ran over 6 and it was good. We ran at a nice relaxed pace and had a nice chin wag (chat). Last week I ran a grand total of 6.18 miles. How embarassing! I totally shouldve ran more.

I feel like I get into this Give Up/Try Hard cycle with my running. I havent really given up, but I feel like that last week was sort of a rest week and I need to slowly ramp up so I dont burn myself out.

I have some plans to do just 1 lap at bush park, then do like a calisthenics routine, then do a cool down lap. I am gonna check www.runnersworld.com for some shiz to rock.

Cheers Everyone.

just so you know...

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.
