The Glamour Muscles
Well that’s what Tony, yes we are on a first name basis, calls them. The shoulders, bicep and triceps. LOVE this routine, it rocks. I went up on all 15 moves except 3. All triceps stayed the same and I am using 8#. All sets were 15 reps or more like dips were 20. Though I can really tell I am not doing the heavy push up routines when I do the core routine. I am not as strong with the push ups.
I know…just BRING IT!!

It is the same every stinking day and for a change up, lets add a typhoon! Gee whiz. Tired legs, sucking wind…ugh! Cleansing breath, this too shall pass

A Little Zippy
Well for me that i!! Did not sleep well. Jack was kind enough to come into bed not once but twice and lay horizontal and proceed to kick the crap out of my kidneys! ARGH!
So I was up early and padded around for a bit and then got it together and was out the door. Temp was nice at 64, humid, but less so than most recently. Took off for a 2 mile out and back to the McDonalds in town. Fairly light, quick steps. New songs on the shuffle were helpful.
Pace was nice with last 3 miles 9:09, 9:04 and 9:10…better.

It is Never a Good Sign
Well I had planned to re-run the 14 I had schedule for yesterday today. I though well I only did 4+, I could easily do the 14 and just not bike for the week. Once again, a good plan, however, I woke up at midnight, sat straight up and then jumped out of bed to run to the bathroom. I am just gonna say….never a good sign! I did go back to bed but got sick a bit in the morning too.
I headed out and was doing ok and then just started to feel crappy and crampy and I called it enough.

Yet Another Service Godparents Provide
I was scheduled for 14 and I got up at 5am and it was pouring so I went back to sleep and woke up at 6am and it had stopped. So I got ready and headed out. Cooler, in low 70’s but still humid at 88%. I decided that I was going to try to hold to 10:30 for longer runs to anticipate that as my marathon pace for Chicago.
I headed out nice, slowly and was very comfortable and I can really tell because my average heart rate is way low. Anyway, I decide to do 8 mile out and back to the high school through down town and then stop at home, wake Nick up so he can take care of the dogs he is sitting for and get ready for karate. I could switch water bottles and do another 6 miles, go back pick the big boys up and get them to karate. Perfect plan!!
So I am at the 4 mile turn around in the first 8 mile leg and it is overcast, so nice, no direct sun and so sunglasses needed. I hit the 4 mile mark and turn around and I look up and the sky is BLACK, I mean tornado black and I am thinking, “self get out of here!!!” I take off running like crazy just as the sky opens and a deluge is dropped on me. Raining so hard it hurt. Fortunately my littlest indian’s godparents live really close by where I was and I ran lickity split to their front porch and hid!
I waited about 15 minutes and it was still just coming down so I broke down and rang the doorbell and hitched a ride home! I know, a fairly girlie thing to do, but I hate running in wet shoes!

Ah…Gee Whiz Already
Everyday the heat and humidity, come on already. And there is still a good 6 weeks of heat left, I am not sure I have the intestinal fortitude for it! Ran four up past the park and back.
Did have a huge stray dog coming at me but when I got close I could see that he was old and slow moving and there was a real chance I could outrun him! So he was crossing the road and I stopped and made sure he got all the way across and out of the way of traffic since on further reflection he was obviously harmless and this was his excitement for the day!!
Tomorrow starts the midweek run increase and now it starts to get fun, less than 3 months to go to Chicago, where does the time go to?
