upcoming

Pat Travers sang Snortin' Whiskey and Drinkin' cocaine.  That's one of the trivia(l) questions I needed to research after our run this morning!!  For the first time in quite a while there were 3 of us!!  Shan, Mark and I took it pretty easy and finished in 1:20ish.  It was a good morning.  I got up extra early and took Ellie on a 1 mile walk in the 'hood and she had a better morning with the cats afterward.  4 day weekend upcoming for me!!  Pretty excited!!

Oh!!  Almost forgot.  Today I passed 19,000 miles since quitting smoking 6/1/98!!  And, exactly one year ago today I passed 18,000!

conversation

Shan and I had a good run this morning.  It was a bit slow but that's okay.  We took several walk breaks and still came in around 1:20.  It's pretty tough on these humid mornings if there's not a 3rd person to share the conversation.

morning

Ran 5 miles with Amanda and then added on 5 more miles after she left.  Approximate time was 2hrs.  Excellent early morning miles!!

enchilada

Excellent run with Misty and Amanda early Saturday morning.  We did the whole enchilada at Townlake in 2:10!!  Would have never dreamed in a million years I'd be joined by my wife and youngest cousin on a route I've done countless times through the years.  Life is pretty darn good!!

Iditarod

Yesterday evening I watched a Netflix show on the Iditarod race in Alaska.  I don't know what it is with me and my long distance running cohorts but I got fired up watching it!!  The endurance exhibited by the dogs and the humans is so inspiring!!  So inspiring that despite my tweaky right knee that caused me to bail on the Thursday morning run I ran with Misty and Amanda early this morning.  I hadn't really planned on joining them but woke up early, couldn't go back to sleep and thought I may as well join them.  We had a nice 5 miler at Brushy Creek.

ass

Shan and I had a very enjoyable run this morning.  We were able to do a lot of catching up and had a pretty decent run time.  We ran 1:15.18 and that includes a sightseeing tour across Longhorn Dam checking out the open gates and we also took a short walk break on the boardwalk too.   This time of year always kicks my ass worse if we don't have a 3rd person to share the talking load too, oh, and Shan is halfway thru her pregnancy too!!  I reminded her when we were done the very first time we ran this route our time was 1:15 and change over 2 years ago!!

early

This morning was my 2nd early morning 5 miler with Amanda this week!!
