Just simply curious, why again – in fact the last two posts, aren’t being shown/posted under RUNNING, when I continually categorize/tag my posts properly? And, not only that, but I see other posts in the feed/thread, that really don’t have anything to do with running, but more along the lines of health/nutrition?
I take time, and effort to write my blog – I’m proud of my running stories, my accomplishments, all I ask is that they be displayed along with all the other blogger’s stories/posts with respect to RUNNING … thank you!
My body needs it, and this is one of the ways I give it a break. I’m too stubborn to rest, even for a day … so I have to wait for a rainy morning to make the decision for me. I’m fine with it too, as I said, I need rest. Plus, I’m still on a high from yesterday’s 10K run. I did mention it was the best one, the best run I ever had at any distance … still soaking it in, reliving it … enjoying it!!
Running & Beer Drinking! Is there anything better? God, I love you both, lol!
This may be the single best run I’ve had since I boarded TheRunningTrain. Sure, I PRed, but it was much more than that. I felt very strong throughout, even when I finished … normally I feel so winded, completely spent. Not today! I ran the first 5K in 22:57, I brought home the final 5K in 22:14! Are you f’ing kidding me? To put that in perspective; my 5K PR is 22:02. Honestly, I know having my RunKeeper set providing audio cues every minute helped. During that second half, I was determined to keep my pace at 220m per call … and I did. In fact, often covering 230m, even 240m occasionally … and anytime/every time I achieved those distances … I dug deeper, giving it all I had for the following minute, feeding off the accomplishment of my previous minute … you know what I mean? Yep, def has to be my greatest effort to date! Now … where’s my beer?!
… have been making incremental progress! I’m happy where I’m at – 6:23 … but now I’d love to lower my time to 6:10 – 6:15 … THEN, I’d REALLY be happy where I’m at, lol!
Today’s effort came on the heels (a mere eight minutes later) of another super-quick, sub 18 minutes 4K, a great run by its own right. So all things considered, another awesome day of running … am chuffed as fuck again!!
it’s the end of something I did not want to end
beginning of hard times to come
but something that was not meant to be is done
and this is the start of what was

Wow, I amazed myself. Lord knows I needed a great day, my endurance and pace have been suffering lately. And my 4K is tough for me to improve upon, since my old time was fast, but I bettered it by 5 seconds. AND THEN, fifteen minutes later … I surprised myself lowering my mile to 6:31 (an 8 second improvement). I still can’t believe I had enough left in the tank after those grueling, energy sapping four kilometers?! Oh, and am also surprised since it’s very humid (feels like 30°), and the air feels so thick, making breathing difficult. Like I said, wow … chuffed again!
Queued to the gills, up the wazoo today … being somewhere I didn’t want to be. You know when people say the line was a mile long? It was! And since I was already wasting time (wasting MY time) … I had nothin’ better to do than surreptitiously snap these few pics of purse carrying man! I even waited till the line snaked back around before I sprung into action, getting a better shot. C’mon, man bags typically have shoulder straps, and if they don’t, they’re bigger … AND slimmer. THAT’S a fucking purse, LOL …
if you think that everything’s unfair
would you care if you’re the last one standing there
and every time you hear the rolling thunder
you turn around before the lightning strikes
and does it ever make you stop and wonder
if all your good times pass you by
I don’t hold no mystery
but I can show you how to turn the key
all I know is where I started
so downhearted
and that’s not where you want to be
when the day is done
and the world is sleeping
and the moon is on its way to shine
all your friends are gone
you thought were so worth keeping
you feel you don’t belong
neither do I
