It's nice to be away for a while and get a new perspective on things for a change you know.. 

 

3 miles untimed today./  Woefully out of shape but who cares I am just happy to be out there again!

Easy 4 miles today just out to spin the wheels today.  No time.   Body is feeling good after taking a break and there is a fresh feeling to it that I can't describe.  It's like getting a new engine that hasn't broke in yet.   Anyway, I'm just glad that i'm done with my most recent project now which has given me some time to get out on the road.   Now I just have to figure out how to make everything groove better with my class and work schedule now.

Very stressful day today.   Between school, work, and making a renewed attempt to tow back towards God it seems like the very gates of hell intend to swallow me up.  Happens every time..

But at least I recognize it now and know why.   However it still amazes me every time and only thing I can do is stay strong and know that God's will trumps all.   5 miles at SLCC  fitness center with 3 miles at LT effort.

Medium effort 5 miles at 80% mhr at SLCC center after class.  Unfortunately my boys had crashed  by the time I got home this evening.  I was planning to get out the RC helicopter and fly it with them. 

 Oh well, I had some good downtime tonight any how.  Darkhorse out..

Very easy on the SLCC indoor track this evening.  I just came across a new radio for rehab and this is really a nice one on the outside which is rare for age 73.  Unfortunately it needs some real TLC on the inside including replacement of a very hard to find ballast tube.   Needless to say it had my mind preoccupied during the run on how to come up with a solid state fix for this one.

Simple really, It's either two big ugly high heat, high wattage power resistors or it's find the golden ballast tube somewhere.    Sorry, its a bug I caught years ago but which now has come into full swing lately.  I can't decide which hobby I love more...   I think the antique radios are winning by the looks of my blog wouldn't you agree?    Darkhorse out..

Six miles on the treadmill with a progressive challenge run at the end.  Nothing too crazy just fast enough to feel some burn again and maybe activate some fast twitch fibers.  

Last two miles felt pretty good at around 5:45 pace.  Short one mile cool down after.

Easy-medium 10 miler at high aerobic effort.  70-85% mhr. Edged things up intensity wise towards the end.   Hit some decent sub six minute splits on this one today and it seems like the fitness level is maybe starting to come back a bit.   Good.. I needed a run like this today to pull me out the mental/physical funk I've been in lately :)
