This Part Of The Day...

Hello, and good morning all.  How's it going??  Me, I am doing pretty good.   I didn't sleep enough yet, but I have no work today, so after this I can stay in bed for the next several hours if I want.   :) 

I warn you I have absolutely nothing on my mind, and I have no idea what the Heck will come from this, but I can always give it a whirl. 

Today I am pretty excited about my first 5K in forever, and a 5K where I am relatively in pretty okay shape, especially for this time of year.   I will definitely PR on this race.  I've done it a handfull of times before, but I am sure my best time will be minute(s) slower than what I will run tonight.  

As to PR'ing a 10K sometime this year, I don't even know what my PR for that distance is.  :)  I don't think I really give a crap about that stuff too too much.  I guess if I am getting faster that is all that matters.   I would really like to break 22:00 sometime on a 5K, because I have a handful of 22:0x 5K's.  I have a course shortened 21:xx 5K, but that doesn't count.  

Wanna know a secret about me that will astound you???  Breaking 22:00 on a 5K is the only goal in life I have not achieved yet.   Everything else I ever wanted to do has been done.   I guess you will call that a life well lived huh??   A lucky person.   I am who I am though, and I sure don't chase after wind.   A fool chases after wind, and a wise man is content in probably simpler things.  

You can quote me on that, cuz I just made that up.   :) 

Anyhooooo, I have today off, and tomorrow off, and I only work 7-midnight on Friday.   Then I have Saturday and Sunday off.   So that ain't too shabby.   After this weekend though it is back to work, work, work.  

I should be fully recharged, and I got big plans this year for running.   Running several days in a row, which quite possibly is the stupidest idea I have ever had.   :) 

LOL


Should be fun anyway.   :)

That is it for today!!!     :)

Thanks for reading!!!    :)

Hope Everyone has a Great and Awesome Day!!!    :)

xo's!!!     :)

Love You All!!!     :)))

p.s.   I didn't do coffee yet this morning, because I may want to try and sleep a bit more.  I'll give myself an hour, and then maybe a coffee, and treat myself to lunch.   Sounds like a good idea to me.   Better than the running one anyway.  

Love You All   xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Why Didn't You Tell Me???

So, as I was starting this thing, I see yesterday was my 1300th post on this blog.   Ummmm,  you guys could have told me.  I know you keep track of that type of stuff.  

Anyway, I am up, and I figure I should start my day off.  I work both jobs today, and we are having tacos for dinner.   I am going to get a run in today, so that means I will be running over 365 consecutive days in a row, starting whenever my last day off was.   ;)  

Tomorrow I have off, and I am running a 5K.  I have absolutely no idea what my 5K time will be.   I am assuming the first 2 miles will be in the 7:30 range, and the last mile may approach the 7:00 range, and the last .1 being fast.  So it would seem 23:00 will be the time to beat.   I have no idea if that is how it will play out at all, because I am not sure what pace I will hold on my 5K.  So it is all just guesses.  

The weather should be perfect.  No snow and no ice.  It will be a bit cold, but that ain't anything.  I will just assume whatever I have is what will happen.  One thing is for sure is I will know how fast I am to start the new year.   :) 

As to the new year, I have absolutely no idea what I will be doing.   I will push for a 5K, and 10K pr somewhere, but I don't know about longer distances.  Not sure how much I will up my mileage.   That will be a wait and see, and I assume this weekend is when I will start to up my distances a bit.  

Other than that not a lot going on with me as per usual.  Just doing this life thing, and doing it quite a bit better than you.   :) 

HAHA!!!  


So, coffee now to finish.   I have to take the Hopester for a run.   Not sure if I will run 2 or 3 miles.   We'll see.   It is a chilly 21 degrees outside, but that ain't horrible.   Ran in colder than that.  Then I will get ready for work.   I probably don't have a ton to do. 

That is it for today!!!    :)

Thanks for reading!!!     :)

Hope Everyone has a Great and Awesome Day!!!    :)

p.s.  I got nothing for a p.s. and I don't have all day to think of something, so that is all there is.   :)

Phone blogging cuz I'm cool like that.

Hello and good morning all. How's it going??  Me, I am doing pretty good. I was thinking about this past year, and how it compares to the end of this year.  Different huh??  I sorta know the reasons why. I'll tell you a bit of what I know. I'll try not to sound too nutty. It was my 7th full year of blogging, not all this blog. It was a year of drought so to speak, and there wasn't much for me to give. I gave what I could.

Anyhoooo that is that. I am sure this year will probably be better. I slept a ton last night, and it felt good.  :). Actually I am still in bed.

So anyway I also was thinking of the running every day thing. On a day off I could run my little 1.25 mile route. I used it before to do repeats on. I am sure I won't go the whole year running every day, but why not put a New Years resolution out there I am bound to fail at. Everybody else does it.  :)

Anyway I am just getting something down cuz I am cool like that. :)

That is it for today!!!   :)

Thanks for reading!!!   :)

Hope everyone has a Great and Awesome Day!!!   :)

Xo's!!!   :)

Love You All!!!   :)))

p.s.  I feel today will be a lazy day before work. I gotta get a run in though.

Love  You All. Xoxoxoxoxo

Rushing One Up...

Hello, and good morning all.  How's it going??  Me, I am doing pretty good.  I didn't sleep good last night, but that was kind of my fault.  We were just sitting down after dinner, and some Indiana Jones movies were on.  I just kinda wanted to lay down and watch them in the room.  We did that, I fell asleep, and woke up probably around 11:00 or so, and I didn't sleep much after.  :)  That was dumb of me. 

Although I didn't get much sleep, I knew when I got up I was going to have a good run.  I was in the mood to run, and I know I was going to feel good, and I did.  I never ever really pay attention to how I feel before a run.  I guess that matters.  I always assume a run is a run is a run.  Maybe they aren't. 

Anyway I don't have much on my mind, but I can typically always think of something, so I'll give you something I was thinking about last night.  My life and all my memories mean nothing.   They don't mean anything to me.   I kinda hold onto no part of my life.  My existence here is not really worth anything.   I know that sounds kinda like a downer, but it isn't.   I am totally cool with it. 

I don't know what that means, except maybe I know the true value of me, and what I am worth.  No misconceptions, and no false self worth.  Also I thought of something I wrote about yesterday.  It basically says I can put up with a lot of stuff because I am right.  That statement there signifies to me that is one of the ways I am strong. 

It isn't from arrogance I say that, but it is from, because I know.   I spent a life becoming me, and learning about me, and my place in this World. 

Just some things I was thinking about.  

Anyway, the reason I had to rush this up is I have to work at 7:00 AM.   We'll probably only work around 5 hours or so, but I gotta get ready.   :)

That is it for today!!!    :)

Thanks for reading!!!    :)

Hope Everyone has a Great and Awesome Day!!!    :)

p.s.  This week on my 4 days off I should try to be a little more productive.   ;)

Ain't Stopping Now...

Hello, and good morning all.  How's it going??  Me, I am doing pretty good.   I slept a TON last night.   I didn't even know I was that tired.  I woke up pretty early, but there was a cat sleeping on me.  I probably would have gotten up, but I didn't want to wake the cat from her comfortable sleep.  :)  When she got off, I just kept sleeping and sleeping and sleeping.   I was surprised how tired I was. 

Anyway, you know the story.  I have absolutely nothing to blog about, but I am getting something down anyway.   For those who pay attention perhaps you wonder why I put up with things, and why I am the way I am.  It is because I am right, and people act foolishly.   I know people are foolish, and they don't.  It lets me be patient I think, although sometimes I may hit a rough patch, and I lose patience. 

People have to go their own way, but it will always lead back to the same place.  Maybe it is here, and this blog.   I don't know.  I know life can be busy, and I know our hearts aren't always that great.  I know there is anger in people, and hate, and bad things like that.   Things we wish weren't there.   We are full of a lot of anti-virtue really, and how do we battle ourselves and our shortcomings?? 

I know the answer to that.   It is impossible.   You lose.  You cannot beat you.  Your demons are too strong for you, and they tie you down.   There only is one way to victory, and I have been saying that stuff for a long time.  One of the more surprising things to me is how long this takes.   I had no idea.   :) 

It isn't my story though, and trust me I need every single gift I have to be able to do this.   It isn't me who makes me the way I am.   I can be a nut, and I can be a little crazy, but that is because of the promise I have. 

Sooooo anyway I have the day off today.  I am going to do laundry, and make dinner, and I am not sure what else.   I may run, or maybe just run tomorrow and the next day.  One thing I thought of is having been running only 3 milers for quite a long time, I bet I can run a little every day without taking a day off.   Wouldn't that be something??  

I won't, because I am injury prone and stuff, but something I thought about.  

Oh well.   :)

That is it for today!!!     :)

Thanks for reading!!!    :)

Hope Everyone has a Great and Awesome Day!!!    :)

p.s.   I cannot believe how much I slept last night.   :)

Very Much Betterererrr,,,

Hello, and good morning all.  How's it going??  Me, I am doing pretty good.   I decided to switch things up a bit in more ways than one.  First I already got my run in, and it was a good one.  First two miles around 8:30 pace, and I added a little tempo in the 3rd one.  I am sorta thinking 7:30's may be my pace for my upcoming 5K.  Just a guess.  Also I switched my phone app thingy to just tell me my pace for each mile, instead of every 5 minutes.   Never thought of doing that before, but I don't want to hear that crap every 5 minutes. 

Yesterday I had my 2nd bad run in a row.  I stopped after 1.5 miles.   I have no idea what was wrong.  Anyhooooooo, today I work at 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and then I have tomorrow off again.   :)  Pretty good week I'd say.  We are working Sunday though, because of the extra two days off next week too.   it is like a vacation for me.  

I don't really have too much to say today.  I am glad I got a good run,  oh wait that reminds me.  I ran before I had coffee too.  Usually I run after coffee.  Just goes to show you how clueless I was as to why I had two shitty runs in a row.  I wonder if that ever happens to anyone else.   It seems I may have had that happen before, but can't recall. 

Anyhooooo, let me make a cup of coffee.   Okay coffee is brewing.   I really have nothing to blog about at all.  I think I've been on such a good roll of getting something down each day, that maybe I want to keep it going/ 

Yesterday was another lazy day, but today I work.  I got coffee on the way, and I will make dinner when I get home. 

I guess that ain't so horrible.   :)

That is it for today!!!    :)

Finishing Up The Year Strong...

Hello, and good morning all.  How's it going??  Me, I am doing okay.  I slept in this morning, and I feel sluggish still.  I may go back to bed after this.   :)   I have a coffee, and I should run sometime today, but we'll see if I can sleep more first. 

As is the case with me a lot there isn't a lot on my mind, and I don't really have anything to blog about, but my heart feels pretty happy, and a lot of times I can get something down when I feel like this. 

I think my blog can go along saying really nothing, but eventually a doozy comes out.   Yesterday was one of those.  A lot of stuff hit me though you know?? 

I went on a run yesterday, and I felt sluggish.   Odd since all my runs lately I have been feeling great.  I started off slow at the 5 minute mark, but my first 2 miles were a pretty normal pace.  About 1-1/2 miles in I slowed everything down.   I wanted the run to be as easy as possible, and my last mile was  a 9:11 pace or something.  I just wasn't feeling the run you know??  What can you do?? 

Other than that I was just lazy yesterday.  Lisa asked me what I was going to do, and I was just going to be lazy.  :)  I was, and I overachieved really in that regard.   :)  Today we were going to see a movie, but it doesn't start til 4:00 PM.  The other theater has earlier movies, but not the one Lisa wants to see.  Into the Woods or something like that. 

So that is my day yesterday, and today there is nothing major going on.  I should do some laundry, and maybe a little cleaning.

First I'll see if I can sleep.   :)

That is it for today!!!    :)

Thanks for reading!!!    :)

Hope Everyone has a Great and Awesome Day!!!    :)

xo's!!!    :)

Love You All!!!    :)))

p.s.   I wonder what next year is going to look like.   Should be interesting.  I hope it isn't more of the same.   I hope we get to better stuff, that is for sure.
