The thought of running crossed my mind

One of the checkout ladies in the grocery store mentioned to me on saturday that her husband was running the AR50 yesterday and that caused me to have a fleeting thought about running.

No, not running the AR50, but running 2 miles. I think it'll be fun. RugRat started swimming lessons this week and wants me to start practice swimming and running with her. She wants to do a sprint tri this summer with me so I might need to get in shape and actually get off the couch and peel the remote control out of my hand.

As soon as I run, i'll post.

Weekend contained both heartbreak and side-splitting laughter. I had every intention of racing Shamrockn' half marathon this weekend and planned my days accordingly.

Guzzled water like it was going out of style all week. I was drinking nearly 70 oz of water a day, which although it doesn't sound like much more than the 8 8 oz glasses recommended was a lot for me. Did a second test run of 4 miles on friday and the hip.felt.fine. Went to bed early on friday night but tossed and turned because a dog on the next block was barking. All. Fkng. NIGHT. At 3 a.m. it was still barking. For a sample of what I heard all night, click here.

About a month ago, she suddenly announced that she wanted to run a 5k. I asked her, "Are you sure???" she was emphatic in her reply, "YES!" so I signed her up for the Run Rocklin 5k. It was after…

Suck it up, buttercup!

So I suck as a blogger still.Getting back into the groove of writing is almost as difficult as starting to run or bike or swim on a consistant and regular basis.I am getting better at it though. I cannot fathom how I used to get up at 4:15 a.m. to go run.It seems like such a lifetime ago!! But I suppose life is full of changes and we adapt and those changes become our new normal.Its implementing the change that is so painful and difficult.
Ok, done with the philosophy!Yesterday’s track workout was a killer.I haven’t been very consistent in my running.Some weeks im doing 15 miles, others 0.Again, habit is just something I need to build again.the track workout was 2 miles warm up; strides; 5X 1k @5min; 2 mile cool down. I only managed the warm up, strides and half the 1k workout and 1.25 mile cool down.I was cooked.My times were slow on the 1ks, my tummy was a little off and I just felt LETHARGIC in general.
However, on a social level, I had a grand time.Talked with several long-time fr…
