weekend update

howdee kids!

So, as you may recall; Saturday 4 miles, Sunday 3, right? Well not quite...

Saturday was my wife & I's 4th wedding anniversary so I felt a little selfish running off on my own for an hour or so (stretching included), so I just skipped it with intentions of making it up...

Sunday, I gave my buddy Jason a call and asked him if he wanted to join me in a little West Seattle jaunt, to my surprise (that's right Jason I was surprised ;-) he was game! We hit the road some where around 3:30 in the afternoon, it was very grey but the temperature was just right for running... We took the old "Alki beach via Schmitz Park" route... I discovered that time seems to move faster while engaging in conversation, even if that most certainly means I'm moving slower... having said that, THIS still drives me nuts, after all, god forbid you push yourself... (that link not doing it for you? Check THIS out... the day I see someone running while "chatting" on their cell I may laugh myself to death while looking something like THIS).

Today, Monday, seemed like the perfect opportunity to make up my Saturday run, so I woke up early figuring running early today and then not again 'til Tuesday afternoon is almost like having a day off.... almost... I got in 4 miles using my standard 3.6 mile route plus 2 laps around a track... I figured since Sunday was an "easy" day I should at least try and push my self a bit... turns out I had a mighty good run at a 6:56 minute per mile pace... good times...

Tuesday calls for another 4 miles... this is a weird week because it gives me Wednesday off... I guess it's because Sunday is 7 miles but it'll still be strange... I'll probably follow the letter of the law on this one, but I like I said, it'll be strange...

...speaking of strange... random photo? Sure, why not...
