With the exception of a 0.5-mile jog on the treadmill during one of my breaks from work, all of my running was completed outside today.  However, with the inversion worsening, I’m aiming to stick to the treadmill for tomorrow’s workout.  Anyways, in the evening I ran up to Harmon’s to get my H1N1 flu shot then ran over to Big Cottonwood Park and completed three laps around the softball complex before calling it day.  The total distance of this run was 5.6 miles at an easy pace.

Finally, for my non-running workout I completed 300 sit-ups, 30 push-up, 40 (60 lbs) butterflies, 150 (50, 40, 30, 16 lbs) curls, and 60 (50 lbs) reverse curls.

Does that inversion make it hard to breathe?

Dude, what happened to the Broncos yesterday???

Burt, the inversion makes it hard to breathe after you run. You cough for hours, it is very much like smoking (or so I have been told).

Once again, you are being GREEN and running to the store. You are helping with to fix inversion problem, the rest of us need to get our butt in gear. I totally would have driven to get my shot.

Have a great day!

Burt and Kelli--fortunately, the inversion does not impact my breathing that much, but--as Kelli described above--you do tend to cough a lot afterwards. It also irritates my eyes. Hopefully, the upcoming storm will clean our air!

Jon--I'm just finally recovering from that lose to the Raiders. However, I think that our Broncos are a better team compared to the past few years and we'll finish 10-6 (i.e., Dawkins will get the team ready to go for the Eagles). I think the biggest problem with the Broncos is the O-Line in that we cannot rush the ball at all and Orton can only do a 2-3 step drop before he's forced to get rid of it; therefore, he usually focuses on Marshall. Consequently, we cannot control the clock and have many problems in the red-zone. Don't give up hope.--Go Broncos!

More importantly, the Cardinals clinched.

Burt, where is the drama with clinching a playoff spot with two weeks to go? :-)

From Burt on Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 14:49:05 from 206.19.214.144

I am perfectly fine without the drama. Back ini '01 when the D-backs won the series, I told myself I wouldn't get emotional if they lost. I've tried to live up to that creed ever since. That way, when my Suns didn't make it to the playoffs last, I wasn't too overly upset. Still, easier said than done.
