I’ve been robbed

Seriously – I left this afternoon to run a couple of errands, dropped a package at the post office, went to Home Depot and then Kroger, wasn’t gone that long. 1 1/2 hours Max, unlocked the door under the carport, put my grocery bags down (2), put up the frozen items and headed to my [...]

Back to Normal

Didn’t run yesterday, too pooped.  Worked around the house and in the yard, still tired from the hard run at the 20K, not as young as I used to be…
Kim needed 7 miles this morning, she is finally in her taper mode for the Chicago Marathon, I think she is glad to finally get out [...]

We Rocked the 20K!!

We did great!! Kim and I both were just freaking awesome, or we think so anyway and that’s all that matters. Kim’s time was 1:50:08, mine was 1:59:11. Woo Freaking Hoo!! We were both very happy. Kim was first in her age group, I was third in something called Masters, [...]

Arkansas 20K

Okay, I’m really getting nervous about the 20K on Saturday, one thing I’m not nervous about, the weather.  BEAUTIFUL!  Race start time is 7:30 prediction is for 56 degrees and Sunny.  What am I nervous about?  Finishing, croaking, going out too fast, coming in last.  I haven’t run a race since May, I ran the [...]

Looming 20K

This Saturday Kim and I are running in a 20K, it’s my first one, not sure if Kim has run one before, but I don’t think so.  I’m anxious and nervous about it, I’ve been having running dreams, last night I dreamed we got there and I had cowboy boots on and had forgotten my [...]

Catch-up

Wow – time flies when you have a yard sale!! I don’t know what’s happened to the last 4 days. Here’s a recap -
Thursday – Tried to run, but had some sort of stomach virus, gross, I was at mile 1.19 when, BAM, OMG, I’m going to be sick and I was close [...]

Smokey and Maxx

Well, we had a couple of overnight guests on Monday night, one was Maxx, the 2 year old Lab who is sweet as can be and his mommy Kim.  What an adventure, when Kim arrived with her pooch in tow, Smokey had a fit, he saw Maxx outside the storm door and started pouncing on [...]

Get it together people!!

I hate people, do you ever have those days where everyone is just stupid?  That’s my work life in a nutshell, everyone is dumb as a box of rocks and it’s stressing me out, big time.  I just don’t even want to answer my phone, email, my door, my life!!  GET IT TOGETHER PEOPLE!
Okay, had [...]

Where did that cold air come from?

Oh my, it was quite chilly this morning, where the hell did that cold blast come from?  I guess Ike left it in his wake as he exited Arkansas yesterday, BRRRRR.  I turned off my air again yesterday morning, it was nice and breezy and the high was only forecast for around 80, perfect weather, [...]

Hilliest Route Ever!!

I think that I’m moving Rahling Road to the number 2 spot for hilly runs and Kavanaugh will take the number 1 spot for the hilliest route EVER!!  Or maybe it was just so freaking HUMID and HOT that the hills just about put us under today.
I tried something new today for my sometime GI [...]
