Happy Hump Day! Yay, we're having summer-like weather here in the high-five state and Friday is looking for a high of 80º!!!!
Is it just me but why would you name your woman's retail store the 'Dress Barn'? Am I missing something here?
The team Spring team will be running their 20/12 mile run this Saturday and it's going to be hot. This should be a great test, since their events will probably be warmer than their training has been.
What is the worst part of your longest run in training? Is it the last few miles? The middle miles when the brain plays tricks on you?
What music or song gets you re-charged?
Who lets the person with the keys to the schools that they're having a 'Snow Day'?
Today is Hill repeat day, Yipee.............
How many of you would be willing to pay $19.95 per visit to a gym?
Now I'm not talking about spa like gym but one with weights and guys grunting and looking in mirrors.
Well that's what I've been doing the past few months! I have only been getting to the gym near the house sparingly and it cost me about that much.
Yesterday I went and had a great session. I was sweating and breathing heavy and then I started my workout....
No, there are a few of you bloggers (Marlene and Mel) that are kicking butt and taking names and it got me psyched! Thanks.

Today is the beginning of the end for my son the Marathoner. He turns 30 years of age, no more twenty something.
It's funny how I would look at it just as a change of age groups and he's saying good-bye to his youth!
Yesterday was a rain drenched run from beginning to end and I didn't mind a bit. Where were all those wimpy cyclist and roller bladers???
Capped off the day with some March Madness and watching the Spartans from Michigan State do their normal Final Four appearance.
Since my brackets are blown to hell, I might as well root for the home team!
Happy Monday...............

I always try to pick and choose certain training techniques from various areas.
This week was a small simulated Flying Pig course training for the team. I am so amazed at the advances of all the team in attacking(it sounds better) the hills in preparation for their events.
Most of us shy away from any hills if we have an option but the team is starting to look for them.
I almost sounded like that Drill Sargent fro Celebrity Fit Club.
I was yelling out stuff as we ran and only got laughs back from the team. Guess I can't be mean to them.
We have our big 20/12 miler next week and the team is ready to take on.
I am so proud of these guys.
Time for a nap, since we're attending a TNT Bowling fundraiser that starts at 9:30PM!!!! Don't these kids realize I'm an old guy that needs his beauty rest?

If you're like and the rest of the March Madness participants, you've thrown your brackets away and are watching just for some good college basketball.
I get in a couple of them from TNT participants and it helps keeping the interest factor for me. I suggested that everyone get their money back and just call it a day but that didn't go over very well.
Why is it that I can use a Porta-Potty but have issues with not so tidy toilet?
I must be getting old. Several of my team is having a bowling fundraiser at a local alley on Saturday. It starts at 9:30 PM!!!!!! Granted I'm not big on bowling anymore but we'll be there until Monday. Oh well, that's part of being a coach.
Why am I thinking of ways to make my lawn greener and plush in March and wish it would die and stop growing in July?
At what age does Velcro instead of laces on your shoes look cool?
Why can't I find anything to watch on my own DVR
Hopefully this will be the last weekend of wearing long pants on our team long runs!
We had a great TNT clinic on stretching and injury prevention. We spent the entire injury portion on all of my prior injuries. Does that tell you something?
Okay, it's not how fast you run but how good you look doing it......

Why did I leave the City of Angels?????
We're back to our normal Spring-like weather here in the High-five state. What happened to 75 and sunny?
I started my hill repeats yesterday and today I have an Arse ache! This had better make me faster and stronger........
I'm trying to duplicate a training course for the Flying Pig marathon and half marathon for the team. It's a hell of a course that has a three mile incline beginning at mile five.
The things I do for my team!
Jet lag is a real thing......... nuff said.

On Sunday, March 21, 2010 I became the proud father of a bouncing (okay, he wasn't bouncing) marathoner! He arrived in 4 hours and 18 minutes in the city of Los Angles.We were expecting him in under four hours but he had a mental lapse at mile 12. He started losing his focus but continued to move forward. I met him at mile 22 and attempted to serve as comic relief but he wasn't in the mood.
We ran from fluid station to fluid station and he was really appreciative of my presence. I am so proud of him!
He actually is talking about doing another marathon and improving on that time. I think the gauntlet has been tossed and I had better get my butt in gear.........
It was a great time in the City of Angels with perfect weather, if you like 75º and sunshine........
Now why am I living in Michigan?????
