Okay, the end of Summer depression is beginning. Where did the summer of 2012 go?
I only logged 34 miles this summer!
My tan lines are from riding my bike!
We only purchased one watermelon!
We haven't had a fire in the backyard!
I've only washed my car twice outside!
Work sucks!
We didn't have a picnic yet!
My race card is empty!
My garden is out of control, who knew tomatoes were so wild!
I only swam two times!
My knee sucks!
I only took three pictures outside!
:-(
Okay, the back is feeling much better but the knee isn't. Is there a Hurt germ traveling around my body?
Since I finished my 300 mile bike ride, I haven't seen my bike....
If you had a podcast about running what would you talk about for an hour???
I ran 1.75 miles combined for Saturday and Sunday...
I love sleeping in, until I'm running at 10:00 AM...
I can't believe the number of people that take photos of themselves in bathroom mirrors....
Do you think birds fly the same speed all the time or do they go faster sometimes????
Do you think Diana Nyad is crazy????
If you had to all over to do again would you run track in high school?

This week has sucked! My knee has started acting up again for no apparent reason.....
Then yesterday some idiot thought he could dead lift the world and strained his back. I hate when that happens. It was so bad that I could barely put on my socks! I was really feeling like the old guy you see in the lockerroom taking thirty minutes to get dressed.....
So I was driving around with my car A/C on and the heated seats going at the same time!!!!
Tomorrow we had to Flint for the Crim Festival of Races. I'll be there to cheer and yell and possibly run a few miles with some of our Team in Training folks. This is by far one of my favorite races to attend, even if I'm not running.
I found a stash of old CDs that I hadn't even thought about in years and I think I'll be starting a memory lane playlist soon.
I'm still running sans a GPS unit and I will probably continue. I keep looking at my dead Garmin and just wonder, what could I have done to save it? It was taken in the prime of it's life, why him?????

Why doesn't Garmin have any Elite athletes endorse their products?
Why don't you see elite runners with Garmins????
How did Garmins become so popular with basically word of mouth advertisements???
Can you tell I still haven't replaced my dead Garmin?
How much of the GPS watch technology do you really use?
Why do we care about out average pace?
What if I ran a 10 minute mile followed by a 5 minute mile, what does the average tell me about my run?
We know about the story of the first marathon, but what about the first Ironman. Did the person have to stop swimming and then stole a bike which ultimately got a flat after 112 miles so they had to run 26.2 miles?
Just asking........

Not only is it the start of another work week, the temps are starting to get cooler in the mornings and evenings and I walking with a lim!
Now this isn't my normal cool limp but a achy right knne limp!
Why is it we forget about the little things that keep us out on the road? I still need to stretch and ice and roll certain areas of my body, even when they aren't talking to me.
Why do I go out and walk nine holes of golf with an achy knee?
At least I'm smart enough to know not to try and run on it today(unless I feel really good when I get off work). Okay, I'll take a day off and ice it, while indulging in a few BEvERages......
Life is good......

When you see an individual you haven't seen in years, one of the first things they ask is "..are you still running?"...
When you run on a route that you haven't seen in years and you used to kill it, "I don't remember all these hills?"
When you see a guy with the old Sony Walkman with the tuner in the headset....
When you remember races that had an unlimited amount of Finish line BEvERages.
When you look at race results and go directly to the Grand Master division.
When your Saturday morning running group is just you and another guy.

There has to a fine line between strengthening and trashing your legs!
I've been on a crusade to find my line. The running has been consistent with about one rest day a week but my miles are shorter, so no real long runs. The gym workouts have been five days a week with light weights and high reps! I'm loving my Altras, which are probably making me use different leg muscles while running.
I even got back on the bike this past weekend and rode into some nasty headwinds, must have been at least 3 mph winds........ Whew............
Well after all of this I can honestly say that getting up to pee in the middle of the night is a journey!
Even though the legs are tired, it is a good feeling.
Still haven't replaced my Garmin or iPod, so I just listen to the little voices in my head and only run routes that I know the mileage.
I think I'm one of the few people in the gym without ear buds on while working out!
