Ran with Frank this morning.  A small polmeranien (sp?) type dog was chasing after us and I didnt even realize it for awhile, then I saw its owner chasing after it, after us!  She did not look happy, then Frank tried to mal it to death and it freaked out.  So I ran her dog back to her and she didnt even say thank you.  She just grabbed her dog with an angry face.  Oh well, I had a good run and its been a good start to what hopefully will be a great day. :)

Did the long run today so it's out of the way for the weekend.  Busy tomorrow morning and then  working in the yard all day and I knew once the afternoon came I would'nt want to run for 2 hours tomorrow!  

Today was sooooooo nice out!! I love it!  

Right now  my legs (mostly my butt and hamstrings) and lower back do not feel good.  After about mile 11 feet and hams started to cramp pretty bad.  I definately do not feel like playing 2 softball games now!  But, off I go.  A couple of beers and bed sounds amazing!

It always cracks me up when I see people doing hard physical activity and then they're smoking, its like an oxymoron.  Today these 3 guys were working really hard in the yard hoe-ing and stuff and smoking.  And a couple of weeks ago I saw this guy mowing his lawn with one hand (pushing the mower) and drinking beer with the other... awesome! 

Already my body is starting to feel better.. and I love the GU.  I got the fruit snack kind and I really like those!

Not impressed with AP :((  I swear its like 10X's windy-er here in the afternoon than in the AM wich makes things very difficult...excuses excuses.
