Hope dies Last

February 6

4:00 a.m......WTF.....AGAIN.  I do prefer this to those that sleep 20 hours a day though.  I still have the energy to work and train,so it is getting better and I can tell that I am headed in the right direction.

Youngest son and his wife are coming over for dinner...on the menu:  roasted pork tenderloin w/ citrus glaze, wasabi mashed potatos and zucchini w/ parmesan....toasted pound cake, with vanilla ice cream.

Really liking the new job and the people I work with.  Compliment from the boss yesterday.....that was nice...haven't had one of those from anyone in a while.  I got invited to the annual fund raising Oscar Night the center puts on....Black-Tie Affair.  Not sure yet but I think I am going to go....could be fun and may be a great way to meet some folks.

Everyone getting hit by these latest rounds of storms please be careful out there.

I am seriously going to have to get a new phone.

$179 (after rebate) for a phone that will do 1000 things I don't need but is the best one for the 3 things I do need......OR.....$65 to upgrade the battery on my current POS.  This is even obvious to me.

Run
  • 1h 24m 30s
  • 8.00 miles
  • 10m 33s /Mi

Ran on the ING Course. Very nice run for about 5.5 miles then EP had some more GI "issues" and we had to stop at a bathroom....At D.Q. of all places ;).

Finished strong and felt great after.

No Ice Bath after the run today...spent 1 hr.+ in traffic on the way home.

Not as productive a day as I would have liked but I did see my youngest opening day of baseball season for the college he plays for.  He didn't pitch today as he is slated to start one of the weekend games.

I am super satisfied with some of the closure issues I wrote about on Monday.  I have a clearness that I have not had in QUITE SOME TIME.  Thanks to BB...you are the best.

Didn't run today and I'm not happy about that.

Last night brought MAJOR strides towards some closure.  It was VERY hard.  I heard some things and said some things that were very painful.  I do take responsibility for my actions and that is all I can control but the most important thing that was derived from this talk is that there is no going back.....it is truly over and I am angry and hurt but I feel that I can move forward.

Run
  • 2h 59m 31s
  • 16.01 miles
  • 11m 12s /Mi

At the River. Started with EP, CL, JL and Me. CL/JL bailed with injuries at about 8. They haven't been running a lot so it's understandable.

EP was having GI issues and flaked at about 11.

Just me and the iPod to bring it on home. Last mile was 9:24. Yeah BABY!!!

Headed to  hang some nets this morning then have a 16 miler planned for early afternoon.....going to be a fun day.
 

GREAT run today.  Only stops were for EP to hit the head and for us to grab some water and I left the watch running just like on race day.  LONGEST CONTINOUS RUN OF MY LIFE.  Last mile was 9:24.  After doing the math at mile 15 I knew I had a shot to get under 3 hours...so  picked it up a little...then it happened...on MY iPod...of all things.....

SHANIA TWAIN LYRICS - Man! I Feel Like A Woman!

OMG.  I was almost in a dead sprint to get finished so i could turn that thing off.
