prlmanrunning

turned out to be a great day for a nice long run ground was wet when i was leaving with a mostly overcast set out with a longer strides and keeping a good solid pace through the whole run pushing down and back up the river bottom hills and up to 7th east turning north toward 114th south running through the construction was actually nice running  on hard packed dirt instead of concrete continued to 98th south turning west following down to where the trail is(150 e or so) turned back south winding through the park like surroundings back to 114th south everything feeling good striding at a good pace not too tired yet , mind unwinding while the body surges onward west to state street south to 123rd back west 4 mi left still not getting sloppy making sure to keep it all together back through the river bottoms (coming out the west side really wore me ) back to 27th west north to 12100 s and walk in to warm down sun out to bolster my spirits even more yet another great day running  :) 

un planned day off after a day of sitting in the hospital with mom until 10 pm was just drained hoping everything gets taken care of and she can get back to herself soon not worried about the break is more important to get her taken care of first training later, did manage to order a few books to help with my training goals and plans   

late start tonight visiting mom in the hospital for a while before getting out for my run,felt good to be out on the road stretching out my legs got a few good quality speed miles in toward the end part trying to build up my oxygen exchange and endurance level legs took a bit to warm up though they  respond better to every day use rather than taking days off lol

another late start on my run(10 pm) could not gety out of work then up to the hospital mom is doing much better . was only going to get a short one in but once i got out and going all loosened up decided i was out any way might as well keep going turned out to be a good quality workout even with the late start

only 12 hours at work today a chance to get home and out on the road at a more normal time for me started out nice and relaxed easy pace and before i knew the miles were just melting together and rolling out underneath my feet feeling the road unwind not really in a hurry just kept the pace moderate enjoying the night  

did not get out of work till late again then off to gather up the boys for the weekend up to the hospital to visit for a while things really looking better maybe mom will get released on sun if things keep getting better any way by the time we got done there and finally home was fairly late another missed day two in one week not very happy about that :( guess i could have run late but getting up to run in the morning will have to do been a long tiring week but keeping a positive attitude it will all be alright 

slept in a little this morning feeling great got trav up and ready down to the high school for his practice and me on the indoor track getting dizzy lol 151 laps  set a decent pace see how many i could get in while they were doing their baseball thing setting a great tone of optimism for the rest of the day   life is sssooooo great
