Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter.  The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance.  Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters.

Personal:

I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities.

Again, I fall asleep before dinner.  When I awaken, it's too late for dinner or yoga.  Went back to work  until the wee hours.  All my emails have been read, but their corressponding actions will have to wait.

Ran!  And learned a new way to tie my shoes.  I can't wait to show the girls.  Since they'll both be teenagers by the time I see them, they probably won't think it's much of a big deal.

2 mile warm up

3x800s (3:08, 3:10, 3:02) Legs felt heavy

Walked the recovery 400s, but thought about running them

1 mile cool down

Delayed-onset muscle soreness did not delay

One set of Push/pulls per hour throughout the day 8 sets total

30 min Spin

Spin and Abs. Since Sep I've been tracking what I eat on Fitday.com.  There are other metrics it tracks as well, such as body measurements.  I just updated my measurements and looked at what changed since Sep.  My neck's thicker, my biceps shrank and my forearms grew.  I'm turning into @#$*ing Popeye!

Informally learning Arabic at work.  I'm lousy at languages.  I tried saying good morning to folks, but ended up saying seven-something.  Too bad there's not Arabic sign language.  I think I'd be much better at that.

Last Abs class with Kim.  Bummer.  I should have taken notes.  I really liked her class.

Should read 5 easy miles and 1 mile of why-does-this-hurt so-much.  I started out feeling real good.  At mile four, my legs started feeling tight.  My pace slowed by almost 2:00 on the last mile.  And not from lack of trying.  Luckily, it wasn't joint/foot pain.  Just muscles being disagreeable.  8:41 overall.

KBs - Started to hurt my forearms again, but I now know that it will eventually go away.

BJJ - After chipping a tooth, I got a mouthpiece.  After a while, it dried up, and having a dry wad of plastic in my mouth kept activating my gag reflex. 

I also keep getting whupped, but at least I know I'll still be able to smile pretty.  I'm am making progress.  Instead of losing right away.  I lose in a semi-controlled manner.

Didn't run, but caught my running pants on fire.

Deftly avoided karaoke night as well.

Spun.
