CG’s Running Blog

Well, I know everyone is waiting with baited breath to know if I ran so, I’ll hold you off a little longer.

My evening was pretty much chugging along right on schedule.  Actually, I finished dinner 10 minutes before the 630 deadline.  LOL  That is after downing 8 tacos.  YIKES!!!!  To top it off, my wife was bored earlier in the day and decided to make brownies (my true weakness).  I held off on the brownies for about an hour and then had 2.  In my world they were to give me that extra boost so, I didn’t get tired as the night went on. HA HA.

 Anyway, I kicked back to watch The Unit and my wife noticed Orange County Wives was on as well.  Well she had me flipping back and forth between the two shows.  It is truly amazing there are clueless people in the world that make and spend the ammount of money these people spend.  Granted, I’d L O V E the chance to make that kind of money but I think I’d jump out a window if I had the “issues” they had to deal with.  I digress….Well 10pm hit…the witching hour, I tried to get my wife to run for me…no such luck.  a. She’s not a runner. b. she’s not a night person.  Finally at 10:52pm I am dressed and out the door for my run!!!  What a great run it was.  I decided to take a different loop and it turned out very nice.  My legs felt rested and willing to handle the pounding, my breathing was on.  Overall it was a darn good run.  I was back by 11:30. I took the dog out back and put my legs in our pool.  ( If you haven’t noticed by now, in my mind, I’m an “elite” runner.  I watch and read what these guys do and incorporate the parts and pieces I have access to into my running.  )  So, there I am drinking water and have my legs in 70 degree water to reduce the swelling. Yes, I did get a chuckle out of it.

 So, this looks like my turning point in running this week.  I actually may get 3 days of running into a 7 day week.  YES!!!  that will be a small but crucial victory.

Till next time….
