I sometimes have dreams I call puzzle dreams or labyrinth dreams. They usually involve me trying to get someplace and I’m having to follow some convoluted route and overcome challenges to navigating that along the way. I had one last night and it woke me up a little after 2 in the morning. Can’t remember [...]
The wind and me have an uncomfortable relationship. We tussled with each other last night when I got to the park dressed in running shorts, a tee shirt and long sleeve top, a warm hat and 2 layers of thin gloves. On my way out of the office building and to my car, the cleaning [...]
Finished off the squatting last night with single rep of 200 lbs. It seemed almost improbable when I lifted the barbell off the sawhorses in the cradle of my elbows, stood up and stepped back to where I would squat down and then back up. After doing that and dealoading it onto the sawhorses, I [...]
I originally planned to run 4.4 miles then tack on some intervals if my legs felt good. But when I got out there last evening, I found it felt pretty comfortable at the pace I was running and it just felt like 8.2 miles or 10 loops was a good number to run for.
I [...]
On Sunday morning, I walked a dog who needed to pee and poop. It was cold enough, down in the 20s, but didn’t feel too bad with no wind.
I don’t mind the cold weather of winter. I don’t like wind though, wind makes the cold impossible to be comfortable in. It makes the cold feel [...]
Last Saturday, I weighed in at 151. Sunday was 150. All the week prior I was seeing 150 or 151 on the scale in the mornings.
Monday, 151. Tuesday, 152. Yesterday, 154. Today, 155. I’m not constipated either.
Late in 2007, I weighed about 140 to 142 lbs. I began putting on a few pounds as I [...]
I didn’t finish work yesterday till 5 PM when I then changed into running clothes and went to the park nearby. It was already dark. The moon was full or nearly so.
I’m someone whose thoughts turn inward while running. Running in the dark like that makes that even more intense. I have less visual distractions [...]
On Thanksgiving, I went over to my brother’s. When it was getting near time to head home, he handed me a couple of bolts and a 60d nail to try bending.
I sure surprised myself later on when I was able to bend the bolts. They weren’t easy, but I was able to get them kinked [...]
I was asked last year if I was ever going to run the marathon distance of 26.2 miles. I answered I was thinking about it and thought maybe that 2010 or 2011 I might invest myself in the training to do it.
My life was about to start changing and I really had no clue, no [...]
