AM-6 miles this morning. Ran the last three at 6:40, 6:35, and 5:44 with the last half at 2:34.  

A good friend of mine called me last night and after talking with him I have come to this decision,

IM SICK OF MARATHONS!  IM READY TO RUN FAST lol!

  They have become overrated lately and that's all anyone talks about when they discover that you are a runner.  Has any one ever tried to run and train for a fast 5k or even a mile?   It hurts just as much as a marathon only in a different way. Besides as you age the first thing to go is your speed so maybe it's time to get off this train for a while and look towards another goal.   Maybe by then I'll be ready both physically and mentally to run a good marathon.   Time to hit the track fellas.. 

PM-4 miles easy on the treadmill.

AM-6 miles easy today. Sorry, I have been really busy as of late looking for a job and so my posts have been infrequent and sporadic. ok... I'll admit it..  I haven't wanted to post and mainly because I have been too busy feeling sorry for myself I guess..  

But something happened to me today and it I felt so good.  In fact way more so than I expected to.  You see, a young guy approached me on the street today and asked me if I spoke Spanish, I politely responded no..  He looked despondent after that, but then asked if I could hear him speak anyhow.. I already knew what he was going to ask so no big deal.  He smiled and then proceeded to give me a story about trax and his wife needing a fare etc.. Broken English, oh well..   But then, a feeling came over me and said;  Hey Steve, It's ok go ahead and give him some money, he is in far worse need than you are.  I then pulled out my wallet and found an unexpected  five dollar bill!    Oooh.. I need that.   No Steve, he needs that...  Even more than you do.  Ok Lord, your right.  And so I gave it to him... To see the look of unanticipated joy come with that smile!   Nothing can compare guys.   I needed that cash to as much as anyone but.. All I can say is I'm so thankful I was in a position to give it to him.  If you find yourself in this same place all I can say is;   please search your heart and give...  There are so many out there who hurting right now.    Dark Horse out.

 

PM- Felt really good this evening , so I went for a 4 mile run. So much for my gradual buildup..

Just went for a run today.  Listening to a favorite new song of mine by Tim McGraw; " Live like you were dying" Skydiving, and 2.7 sec on a bull named Fu Manchu..  Short but sweet.  

Last quarter mile in 67.
