5/31/2011

ran 5.5 miles roads. hot and overcast. felt average, just good to run.

french open, my favorite on the men's side, monfils is out, picked schiavone to repeat and she won an incredible comeback match against pavlyuchenkova in three sets. playing great tennis and is tough on clay. love her game.

off to st. louis.

yesterday: run 4 miles around lake on roads w/keegan tagging along on bike. almost got home in time--sky opened up a half mile away. massive downpour. they feel good when running on a warm day.

today: just two easy miles for fun and to loosen up.

last night there were skinheads on my lawn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1UgeOKN1DE

5/28/11

had a slight chest cold the last few days, decided to run today anyway. felt sluggish, but not totally awful. 10.5 miles or so at a comfortable pace on roads. a welcomed cooling rain for the last 45 minutes. put the miles in and am happy about that.

mug of coffee, watching barca/man u. 2-1 barca at the moment. rooney and messi have each scored. just brilliant players, both.

5/26/2011

another march day. 50 degrees, windy, overcast. did a get a run in after a busy couple of days. about 6 miles on paved trail and road. threw in 6 or 7 surges of 1:15 to 1:30 each. Felt good to get out.

in news about faster people: usain bolt narrowly held off asafa powell in the diamond league 100m. no idea if he's clean or not, my guess would be no, but still love watching bolt run. relatively slow start to his season here, though.

5/23/2011

today: run 6 miles. part trail, part road, part soccer field, part dirt road. been a bit tired lately, decent run, though.

other stuff like...

basketball: my pick of bulls/thunder has taken a minor blow, 2-1 down in each series. i honestly would love to see dirk get to a championship. one of my all-time favorites. any 7-footer who can shoot 3's like that is a hero in my book.

soccer: fire fall to union 2-1. ugh. blackpool falls to an already qualified man u. team, relegated to the second tier. need a new team to root for in premier.

5/21/2011 or Robin's In the Metaphysical Section

a good 10+ mile run, on roads with the exception of about 1/2 mile. most enjoyable. trying to work more on form, staying upright, etc., not always with success, work in constant progress. just thankful i can actually run.

soundtrack is poi dog pondering:

Wednesday, May 18, 2011

5/18/2011

given a perfect running day. sunny, 60, no humidity. 5 miles or so, intervals on trail and grass soccer field, 8 x 1 min. fast, fast, full butted fast.

that is all.

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

Isaiah 40:31

nice mid-april day today. run. run 4.7 miles or so. my mind is my garmin. easy pace.

panera. too much coffee? scrabble.

rainy. 50 degrees. went for a run just as the rain was stopping, overcast skies, great running weather. 8.5 mile tempo run on streets. too much coffee? perhaps.

mom's day.

sunny and 64. awesome

run 4.5 miles, part trail, mostly road. if i was a "real" runner i'd call it a shake out run.

felt good.

5/7/2011

today: picture perfect may day. ran 10 or so miles, mostly roads, little bit of grass. first really warm day to do a longer run. a tad dehydrated. still got it done. decent pace.

watching fire vs. caps. nil-nil as of this moment.

Thursday, May 05, 2011

5/5/2011

today: run 5.5 miles or so. trails. leave my trails alone. stop making them wider, don't care if your cross country kids can't pass. run faster out of the gate. and surely don't pave them. you wouldn't do that, would you? nah.

listen to more j-church, please:
