My Favorite Time Of The Day-- perhaps some history??

I was asked by my brother title first, or title last.  You know?  Mostly title first.  I really have no idea what I am going to write.  I get ideas from the bloggers I read, FB, and every day life.  Things I see day in day out.  I have an idea of what I am going to write.  Throw down a title, and go to town.  :)

Okay I was going to do this write up about yesterday.  I will just say two girls I worked with opened up to me a bit about their life.  Not all things are always great with them, but they both typically smile a lot.  I think they both are great.  Going, or have gone through some tough times though. 

hard blogging while making weekend plans at 3:00 am.  I think all the fucking Pejchls are up still.  Hey??  wth??  Pejchl gets a red line?  stupid blogger!!

Okay off track.  looked at my title, so that is what I will write.  My favorite time of the day is when I wake up.  My thoughts are clear???  perhaps, who knows.  I worked 2nd shift at the hospital before and after I went in the hospital, so I always got a ton of shit done before work... except for that year or so of physical depression I went through.  Physical as in my energy was non-existent.  More than anything, I think I would have liked not to live to be honest.  Life seemed so stupid.  Natalie my friend at the time got me exercising.  That helped a ton.  One night while I was up in a surgery room I believe, my energy was returned.  I don't know really why I had to go through the physical depression.  I guess I did some things wrong pre-hospital, but God knows I didn't know what I was doing.  I survived it though.  Yes, I knew the exact moment the energy came back.  I was excited, I was back to my normal self.  Wow though.  What a journey.  Summer of 92 all the way til now.  That is a long time huh? 

Ha!! It just came to me.  I didn't do anything wrong.  It was the old lady in the old people's room.  The one who told me to have the patience of Job.  I was angry at God for sure.  I wanted to die for sure, but I didn't curse God.  I did last summer though.  I was as low as low can be.  I thought I have hit my breaking point.  I cursed God for making me alive to see such days.  He lifted me up that night, and took my heart.  Yes a vision.  I was awake.  There is a vision too of the eye of the needle.  Eye of the needle is birth.  That is what it looks like from a babies perspective.  The lesson of they eye of the needle???  With God all things are possible.  :)    That is what I had to learn.  That was the end of "The Journey", and the start of "The Wait"!!

Anyway off track again I guess.  Working 2nd shift meant I wake up and do shit before work.  I kept it that way, even when many times my job meant I came in early.  I wake up 3 hours or so before work since I have been working at Menards.  Even now that I work at 5:00 am. 

I drink coffee and blog now.  I used to clean the kitchen and read.  With the computer and online, I would do shit online.  I used to even workout.  indoor bicycle for 72 minutes every single day almost.  That was before I started running. 


Yesterday bike to work and back was it. 

That is it for today!!   :)

Hope you all have a Great and Awesome Day!!

xo's!!   :)

Love You All!!  :)


p.s.  blogger Barb is great!!  :)   Ha ha!!  so are all the others, but wanted to say that.  :)

How about them White Sox!!  Woo Hoo!!  Twins could start losing anytime.  Tigers suck.  Tigers suck, mostly cause of injuries.  Need to have a good bench.  Ozzie's secret?  He has two.  He always always always uses bench players.  Everyone gets to play.  Makes the game fun for everyone.  162 is a long time.  People need days off, and people like to play.  Ozzie lets them.  Our pitchers stay healthy for the most part.  Seemingly better than other teams I think.

The Words Were Scary!!

Me:  "So what's the workout??"

Alan:  "For the 1/2 Marathoners 5-1000's"

Me:  "Sold on the Half!!!"  (kidding of course  Ha ha!!)


8-1000's was the workout.  200 M activ-ish recovery.  We ditched that after the first 4, unless activ-ish means walking.   It was still hot out dammit!!  ;)

7:28 was the pace for the 1000s.  My goal after the 4th was to break the overall time of the first 4.  I failed, but by only 5 seconds.  I will take it.  On our hardest workout to date my 1000s lost 1.25 seconds speed/ 1000.  I probably had it too, but I think I spaced on the last 1000.  I felt good, but my mind just zoned.  I think I was spent.  :)  Good thing I took this week easy, because that sucker was hard!!

4-mile warm up/cool down @ 8:45 pace.  Temps were a bit better, humidity was a bit better.  We still run under full sun.  As it cools down, I'd definitely like to see my times be closer to 7's, but I'll take that as a successful workout for sure.  FWIW, I have no idea the times of my last 2-1000's- I wasn't even looking at my watch.

Oh and same old thing-- my dinner after was just a salad.  It was all I could stomach, plus some fruit.  My sleep 4 hours.  :)   wth??

Any other news.... hmm... not really.  A friend is moving with her fiancee to Minnesota, so we're going to Buffalo Wild Wings after work as a going away thingy.  She said I wasn't invited.  :(    I said... but....but..... Lisa will want to drive someone home.   :)


That is it for today!!    :)

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

xo's!!!   :)

Love you All!!!   :)

p.s. 84,000 push ups really = around 50 I think.  :)  -- done with pull ups.

WTH???

Okay, Okay another not so great day of training.  Yesterday after work I planned on doing my 6 mile route when I got home.  It was hard biking home...again.  Wth??  I haven't been biking much.  My 6 mile run turned into a 2 hour nap.  I should learn never to sit down while I am taking off my shoes I guess... nothing good will come of it.  :)  My workout ended up Lisa and I taking the dogs for a walk.  I also posted some pictures.  I have to do it, because Lisa doesn't know how to.  Oh, and I am lazy with that shit too.  When she wants me to do it, I think I'd rather have Turkey buzzards take me away!!  (hope they are real monsters)-- we have them by our house, but they look like Hawks.  Someone told me they were turkey buzzards.  This guy likes to yank my chain a lot too.  Guess I should just google it.

Not all is lost however.  I get to run the track tonight.  I am not going to ride my bike before the track,  I don't think.  Just my to work and back.  I am going to do 84,000 push ups however, because I have been slacking.

Oh well some things came to me in the last couple of days.  It had to do with this weekend, and also from another time.   I don't really know how to explain it, but perhaps soon.  It is interesting for sure.  I wonder if the two people know about it?  That is what I wonder.  I wonder if the two people know who I am talking about too.  Interesting.  Of course I already told Gina.  She had a shit day yesterday.


Oh well, that is it for me today!!!  :)

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

xo's!!!  :)

Love you All!!  :)

p.s. something funny.  A couple weeks ago Gina's daughter Alyssa friend requested me.  I commented on like two of her things.  She is 12 years old.  She did the creeper test.  I was her #2 creeper.  YIKES!!!  :)   Not commenting on her shit anymore!!!  Ha ha!!!   I feel like such an old creeper.  :)


p.p.s.  A great picture of Lisa!!

OMG lol

First off I warn you, this may be boring.  I really have nothing to write about.  I know, I know weird for me, I always have a ton of shit on my mind, today...not really.  Ooooh, maybe a list, it has been a while.

First off, I had an off weekend of training...for me.  Well, except for the run.  Nothing Friday, and short-ish for a Sunday.  My bike to work.........lol.  Nothing in the legs.  Quads felt like they just biked 872 miles the day before.  How do I know this??  I often bike 872 miles in one day, so I know exactly what that feels like.

I was tired.  Not my normal totally beat Monday, but still not great.  I am officially boycotting all Mondays!!  I came home, and napped outside in the shade, and decided to get a bit of a run in.  lol II-- Holy crap!!  Legs had nothing there either.  I cut my 4 mile loop short to 3.12, and my pace was 9:16.  Yep, and that is what the legs felt like.  Of course I ran during the hottest time of the day.  Oh well.

lol III  I don't even have anything for a list.  Ha Ha!!


That is it for today!!  :)

Hope You all have a Great and Awesome Day!!  :)

xo's!!!   :)

Love You All!!!  :)

p.s. I almost forgot.  Miraculously my shuffle works like a charm.  Now what the hell else is seemingly broke that can be miraculously fixed??  hmm...  :)

Weekend Over...finally???

So it wasn't my best weekend.  I obviously was not in the best of moods, and I am one to let people know about it.  I am not going to keep it inside.  You don't even know half the stuff that bugs me to be honest.  It is Monday today, and I have a challenge before me at work.  Try and get everything accomplished I want to.  I am already feeling it might be a chocolate milk first break.  :)

Anyway some news from my end.  My shuffle is toast I think.  I believe the ride home in the pouring rain was the death of it.  I was soooo soaked it was unbelievable.  It was a blast though.  One of those things I am out in the elements, and people wouldn't even think of it.  That shit kind of motivates me at times.  Doing things others won't.  On the bright side our stove miraculously works again.  I forget where I commented about it, but our stove went berzerk.  couldn't turn the stove part on.  No frozen pizza's for Kevin. A staple in his diet.  His 4 food groups, are tacos, pizza, pepsi, and peanut butter and jelly.  He never met a vegetable or a fruit he liked so he has gone his whole life without any of those wasteful pieces of food.  :)   I ate around 9000 tomatoes yesterday, and probably have around 9000 ready for today.  Woo Hoo!!

I biked yesterday.  I planned on going anywhere from 50-100 miles and went 27.  :)   I told Lisa I just wasn't feeling it.  Knee was kind of bugging me too.  I feel rested though for a Monday too, so that is good.  I will probably get a run in today I think, with my bike to work and back.  I think I am approaching 2000 bike miles for the year already between the two bikes.  Maybe 1700 + miles.  A good year as far as that goes for me.  I am not sure about running totals, but every month has been over 100 miles, so at least I am lucky as far as that goes.  I do feel bad about one who is injured.  One of the blogger's I read.  I let them know.  Nothing I can do about it though.  Oh well. 

Well, I have a 10K  I can do this weekend.  weather looks like it will be good for a p.r., but I am not sure if I will do it.  My goal is the marathon, I think I'd rather do a long run with the group.  We'll see.  My priorities are the marathon first.  5K second, and the half marathon 3rd.  The half marathon will be a tune up.  A marathon pace the first 10 miles and hammer it home.  I should be able to beat last year's time. 

Well, next weekend should be interesting, I will tell you all about it later.  :)--hint-- other side of the family.  ;)


That is it for me today!!!  :)

Hope you all have a Great and Awesome day!!!  :)

xo's!!!  :)

Love You All!!   :)

My Day!!

My day was early morning run.  Well first I had an honest blog entry.  Obviously it upset me when I saw injustice at work.  I also was angry that Hailey's boyfriend was being annoying to people he is living with, or visiting.  I am not sure what Hailey's intentions are.  I told him to listen to Savannah.  She has a good head on her shoulders. 

I had a run,  most of it was in the rain.  13.7 @ 8:48 if I remember correctly.  I was going to go an extra mile, but had to poop in the woods, and decided to add on at the end.  When the end came I decided not to add on.  :)

Lisa worked to help out.  I guess everyone and their mom asked for this weekend off for some reason.  She was tired when she came home.  I cooked out, and went to bed early.  I was frustrated more than anything.  Trust me I don't normally go to bed at 7:30 or whatever on a Saturday. 


One thing I noticed is those who open up a bit tend to be happier.  They have less baggage.  Those who try to calculate are playing a fool's game.  Honesty is right 100% of the time.  Nothing bad comes from it.  If you feel you are stuck in a hard place, just realize that truth will set you free.  It even says so. 

That is it for me today!!!  :)

Hope you all have a Great and Awesome Day!!!  :)

xo's!!!   :)

Love You All!!   :)

p.s. I want to tell you something that cracks me up.  Gina and I were talking on the phone yesterday, and she told me a story.  Her ex- showed up at Alyssa their daughter's softball game.  He was wearing some designer matching outfit of some sort.  She told him.  "You cannot help pay for summer school, but you show up in that faggy outfit you Fag!!!!"

Ha Ha!!!  That cracks me up!!!   :)
