Obviously it has been several days. Here is the running update:
Monday afternoon: Decided to run a mile as fast as I could while blasting "Semi-Charmed Life" (Third Eye Blind), "Separate Ways" (Journey), and "Shake Me Like A Monkey" (Dave Matthews). It is a pretty epic three song playlist and these three are all back-to-back alphabetically on my iPod. I did this in 11:11. The reasons I feel ok about this are threefold: 1) I didn't do any warm up walking; 2) I had already run about 2.25 that morning; and 3) I got a killer stitch in my side halfway through, and almost couldn't walk, so there was a pretty big sucking it up and powering through element to completing the mile.
Wednesday morning: I almost didn't get up. I am so over the 5:20am wake-up. But I did go, and it was 58 degrees, and it was great. My breathing didn't get as out-of-control as usual, and nothing hurt! My kness just felt tired, which is much preferable to things being actually painful.
Wednesday afternoon: It was a little hot, but I decided to take my precious Clara running with me! She was totally amped at first, but then kept getting distracted by smells and her propensity to try to poop in other people's yards. With all the slow downs, and the fact that her legs are about 6 inches long, we finished the mile in 12:30, which I think is great!
Wednesday night I went to Steve's jazz concert and the group did great! They just played two tunes, but they are great ones (Splanky and Blue Skies)!
Tonight I'll be rooting on my Cowboys to beat Texas A&M, and eating dinner at Mike's Place with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band!!
Hopefully an update tomorrow on how the Friday morning run goes, otherwise, I'll see you back here on Monday!
Dignity, always dignity.
You are awesome. I cannot believe you are doing what you're doing. Oh, wait a minute. . . . yes, I can. Because you are my awesome daughter! Here we are . . . Sunset and Camden. I wish I could put music notes on here.
