The Great Blueberry Revolution - 2012

April 22

Still a bit of pain in my right calf muscle.  I'm trying to balance a fitness routine with the need to get rid of this problem.  Might try a mtn bike ride tomorrow and see how things go.

April 21

90 degrees today, taking a day off to see if that troublesome calf pain will go away.

Good song to run to, "Doctor Told Me" by JJ Cale

Well my heart ain’t in it, my mind is blank
Can’t seem to function, can’t seem to think
Doctor told me, cure your ills
Get yourself a woman, boy to pay your bills

Clean your house, and make your bed
Rub your bottom and hold your head
Get yourself a lover, a friend and a wife
Get yourself a woman, boy, get yourself a life

Doctor told me, get yourself a life!

Well I got out on the street and I looked around
Here come a woman, she was fine and round
I said, “Come here babe, my name is Bob”
“I’m a long tall lover, but I ain’t got no job”

Doctor told me, get yourself a life!

Well she looked at me with a sparkle in her eye
She told me I was crazy, she told me I was high
“Get out of here” she said, “or I’ll cut you with my knife”
“You better be gone boy, get yourself a life”

Doctor told me, get yourself a life!

Here I am, standin’ round in a lonesome old house
Ain’t got nobody, ain’t got no spouse
I sure feel bad, I sure feel blue
One thing I sure need is I sure need you

Doctor told me, get yourself a life!

Run
  • 51m 40s
  • 4.00 miles
  • 12m 55s /Mi

Took a longer, 4 mile trail run down from the top of Thumb Butte. Ran in the middle of the day which was probably not the best idea, since the temperature was over 80 degrees in the blazing sun. Got some more cramping in my right calf, and ended up having to walk a bit here and there on the hilly sections.

Sport
  • Hiking
  • 16m 46s

Set a new personal best by 23 seconds on the climb up to Thumb Butte. I was 5 seconds quicker at the hairpin turn (9:28) so I wasn't too sure about a PR at that point, but was able to push a bit near the top after the last couple of switchbacks.

Day off, gonna try to run a bit longer tomorrow.  Signed up for the Whiskey Row Marathon 10-K

What is up with the slow page loading here?  OK, so I shouldn't complain too loudly, being a free member, but I did pay for years so I feel it's semi-warranted.
