I did about 5 miles on the eliptical about a week and a half ago, as my last run (with team texarkana) seemed to have yielded some sort of knee ligament type injury pain...
So I was gonna rrst up for a week, then, last satrday (a week from tomorrow) my beautiful daughter poked me in the eye with her razor sharp 2.5 year old nails... A cornea abrasion and infection ensued, so needless to say, I have been on a 2 week rest period while both hurt parts of my body heal. Maybe I'll run/ EM tonight or tomorrow, to ease back into things.
PS: I'm awfully proud of my brother! Keep up the good work, Phil!!

team texarkana
About to do my first Sun AM slow run with team texarkana, from Christus St Michael over to Spring Lake Park, which I think is 5 miles. This should be fun.
I hope more people show up today, as opposed to the 3 cyclists that showed up last time I came to run on a saturday, or else I may have just gotten a cool t-shirt out of the deal. We'll see. Still got 12 minutes.
I had a blast runnin with phil last weekend. Downtown vicksburg is pretty nice place to run. Maybe next year I can do the run through history with him.
I noticed that many people within my social network have a negative view towards running, as a hobby and lifestyle. I don't want their negativity to rub off on me, so I "gotta give them haters plenty of space".
Ok loyal blog readers, I'm about to run, so ya'll keep up the good work!

tough, wierd run today
Ok, after a 6 day haitus of running (I did elliptcal mon and tuesday tho) I thought I'd get out there for a slow 5 mile run.
Man did I struggle. I'll blame the heat and humidity of me running at 1:00 PM in texas in mid july! So my pace was extra slow; HOWEVER, I did somehow manage to log a PB today, 10:10 mile (4 seconds better than my old PB) so that was refreshing and motivating.
Was tough today, but I'm glad I did it. Oh yeah, I just mailed my yearly dues to join team texarkana. We meet 4 times a week to run (I'll only make the weekend runs)
I'll let ya'll know more about it as I learn. Sounds fun.
Nike said I burnt 842 calories, time to go celebrate my PB with a pb&j!

cross training is back
Dunno how accurate the nordick track E5 ellliptical trainer is, but it tells me I've vaporized 600 calories tonight, in 30 some odd minutes... So that, paired with the few pushups and curls I did, may have helped put a dent in the poppyseed chicken casserole I had for supper.
It was some kinda hot in the garage too, and I was a sweaty beast cow too. It was great! Lookin forward to some more cross training between runs.
Thanks to anyone who cares enough to read my blog!

that time of year again
Ok, weighed in today at 227 lbs again... Time to instill my mid summer abstaining of alcohol til labor day weekend. Dern. Ran too much to not make any progress.
That's ok though. Just gotta stay diligent and positive. Also, now that the boxes are gone from my garage, I can resume crosstraining between run days on the elliptical... So that should help.
Talk to ya'll next time

oh yeah, even my math is slow, ha
Turns out, my 8.1 miles today, put me one mile over my July goal of 25 miles! (18 miles last week + 8 miles today = 26 miles total)
That's pretty cool, now all my miles for the month are for good measure (but they won't effect my august or september goals of 35 and 45 miles per month, respectively) they will, though, count towards my 105 mile goal for the 3 month period!
That's great! I love setting and attaining my goals. I guess now, the next quarter "D-90-S program" I'll have to recalculate my mileage goals. What a good day!
