Best Run In A Long Time....and other thoughts

So my run today felt really good...no pain in my foot...and I actually picked up my pace as the run went on...it has taken awhile, but I think my body is remembering how to run.  It probably is helping that I am shedding my winter coat...down about 15 lbs since January....and another 10-15 to go.
6 miles in 55:38 -
That also puts me at 25 miles this week with a couple days to go.

Remember that one time Laney ate a threaded needle....and then your wife calls you freaking out that the dog ate a threaded needle ...I do because it happened tonight....but then after you have turned around half way to the gym you get a test message that says...this is what I pulled out of Laney's mouth & throat...YIKES!

Recovered.....Nope

I thought that maybe it would be a good idea to go running today to get the soreness out...that didn't go so well.  I hurt every step of the way...I think I caught a glimpse into how boo boo feels when he runs because my right foot hurt every time it hit the treadmill....awesome. 
Anywho, I managed to go 6 miles in 57:30...so that was an improvement from my past month.

The Oscars Suck

I hate the Oscars.  I hate the Oscars so much that I would rather run 13.1 miles on the treadmill instead...so that's what I did...and now I am laying in bed and my body already hurts...and my inner thighs are so chaffed...and I think that's enough information for now...but if you would like more details...call me.

The wiffers put in 6.5 miles tonight as well. Boom.

Remember

That time last night when I ran 5.5 miles in 54 minutes?

Hi Mom!  I wonder if you even read this blog anymore?  I know my brother and sister do not...

I Was Sweating Alcohol

That's right...I had a few hundred ounces of beer this weekend...and today for 53 minutes on the treadmill I was sweating it out.  I believe I still have a little bit left to get out of the system...but today was a good start.
5.3 miles in 53 minutes...

Let me know when it gets cold.

Valentine's Day 5k

I was one of 3 dudes at the gym tonight...that's a good sign...I hope everybody else was out with their sweetie.

We have puppy class on Thursday nights...but Laney got sick this afternoon so we didn't go to class since she is contagious.
But then we didn't make any Valentine's day plans...

So why not run a 5k.....
It was an okay run ... and that's all I have to say about that

Lightning And Iron Dont Mix

Good run tonight...not very many peeps at the Planet to distract or annoy me...

Went 6 miles in 58:55.  I am still running at a snails pace...but feeling better and the pace will pick up soon enough.  My legs were a little sore tonight from a workout that the Wiff and I did on Tuesday night. 

Anyone else running? 
I am sure Mom is sick of reading my nonsense...
Someone give her a break.

What Blizzard?

The blizzard couldn't stop me from running today...
My lack of motivation couldn't stop me from running today...
My sore legs from yesterday couldn't stop me from running today...

I ran 3.1 miles in 30 minutes today...wasn't anything special...but its progress.  Put in just under 20 miles this week.  Not too shabby.

Multi Tasking

First of all...the most annoying person at the gym is the guy who can't stop looking at himself in the mirror-while pulling up his shirt to look at his stomach-while flexing...THAT GUY IS THE WORST...
The second most annoying person is the guy who grunts on every lift...unnecessary.  Especially unnecessary when you are an overweight middle aged man.  If I can hear you on the other side of the gym while running on a treadmill while wearing headphones and listening to music...YOU ARE JUST BEING RIDICULOUS - SO KNOCK IT OFF YOU ASS.

Even with that business going on, I had a very productive run.  Went 6.5 miles in 67 minutes today...and it felt pretty good.  And that was after I officiated/coached three 4th grade basketball games...which is exhausting...there are only so many double dribbles / travels / TO's / missed lay ups / can I go to the bathroom / when can I go back in coach / shots taken not even facing the basket that a guy can take. 

Tomorrow morning I should wake up weighing less than 200 lbs...GOOD JOB AARON....  How bout you not let yourself go like that again. 

I don't want to look like Brian's chubby brother at his wedding.  I know my head will look big (because compared to Boo Boo's tiny little melon, everyone else has a big head - including Lucy & Luke).

Longest blog posting ever...but its okay because I did it while going #2 - MULTI TASKING.   BOOM.

Booooom Booooooom Pow

Yesterday....I manged to run 5.77 miles in 60 minutes.
Most of the run felt pretty good...and some of it sucked.

I got nothing else...no run today...Thursdays are puppy class night in Sioux Falls.  And in case you were wondering...Laney pretty much dominated class tonight ...

Anytime Fitness

I made a 9 pm 5K run tonight.  I have a lot of excuses not to run,  but one of them is not "My gym is not open."
Anytime Fitness really means anytime....like 24 hours a day...7 days a week....its like I have a key to the place...because I do have a key to the place ... and so do all the other members....at least all the other members who have not lost their key. 
Anyway,  I ran...and it was good....as good as it could be I guess.
I am not in shape...not even close.

3.1 Miles in 30 minutes...what a rush.

Did You Get Yours?

Super Bowl Run

Second straight day I went running...pretty happy with myself.  So for the weekend I put on over 10 miles...YAY!

I have also started tracking my food / calorie intake...so I know when I have had enough food for the day...we'll see how long I keep this up, but it does make me more conscious of what I'm putting in my body.

I was one of 3 people in Anytime Fitness today...didn't have a problem finding a treadmill.

Back At It

So training for this years half marathon has started about 6 months later than last year .... that means my legs should be nice and rested - at least that's what Boo Boo would say.

I did go run on the treadmill today ... it wasn't great.   But I managed to run / walk for an hour and cover over 5 miles.

I have gained about 25 lbs since moving to SD...real proud of that...should have enough time to drop all of that before the half...gonna have to be a little more focused for the next few months.
