Some walking, some running, some walking

All my buddies and I bailed on the race. No desire to run in the cold and rain. Will run indoors this morning and then going to the Bulls game at noon. Got skybox tickets.

And the Bulls playoffs are done.  At least I got to see the 1 game that Derrick Rose was able to play before he blew his knee out.

The guy who did my TRX class switched gyms and he isn't do a group TRX class anymore. I am doing some 1:1 stuff with him. Will be sore tomorrow.

Was going to ride this morning, but decided to sleep in.  Have a personal training session tonight.  I figure I'll start ramping up for Door County on May 15th when I get back from fishing.

walk, some running, walk

Went to Mastro's for Anne's birthday dinner last night so I ended up sleeping in.  However, we were woken up around 3:45am to a car honking it's horn a bunch of times in a random pattern (i.e. not an alarm).  I got pissed off got up (grabbed my baseball bat) and went outside to see what the problem was.  

Got out there and our neighbor 2 houses down was in her car having sex with some dude in the drivers seat and her back was hitting the horn.  I surprised them and pounded on the drivers side window and told them to knock it the hell off.  The horn stopped but 10 minutes later they started blasting music from their car.  At that point I just called the cops and 5 minutes later CPD's finest showed up and told them to go inside or they were going to jail.  Needless to say after drinking a little bit last night and being woken up I didn't get out of bed till 9.  Another item on my checklist of why I hate Chicago.
