TGIF!!!

Another night of mandatory fun with the work peeps. :( Don't know what the workout plans are; I may just take an off day or I may try to do a quick run after work. Guess we will have to wait and see.

Wednesday - May 10

Strength

Stretching, pushups, jumping jacks, core, etc.

Looks like the morning PT may be the only workout today...unless the dinner date gets pushed back a bit. Maybe a short run if I can fit it in.

Up and eating breakfast before packing my gear and heading to work. Mandatory PT this morning with the command. You know, it is good that the command gives you time to work out, but I hate being told to do this or that or having to do it with a group. I would much rather just go on my own and knock out my scheduled run instead.

Happy hump-day people!

This is in response to Bodycheck's quote in her log that I just noticed. Kinda reminded me of one of my favorite country songs......"Chicks dig it!" by Chris Cagle.

"Scars heal, glory fades
All we are left with are the memories made.
Pain hurts, but only for a minute,
Life is short, so go on and live it,
cause the chicks dig it!"

Up at 4:30 and out to the pool by 5. Now back home eating breakfast and heading to work shortly. This probably will be my only workout of the day since I have a Team in Training meeting tonight!

Have fun!

Sunday - May 7

The ride today didn't happen due to the early morning rain. So, I decided to move my off-day for tomorrow to today. Instead, I have been busy all day, puting up with my organizing, shopping, and knocking things off the to-do list. Now I am getting ready to head down to the river (downtown) for the last night of the Memphis in May Music-fest.

Saturday - May 6

Run

1h 01m 11s
6.14 miles
09m 58s /Mi

Good easy run on the Memphis in May run course!

Met fellow BTer, Frank Amato, at the lake so we could run the Memphis in May course. Great run on a cool early morning here in Memphis. Guess you could call this our nature run. Saw a deer, a copperhead, and he saw a bat, and that was all on the course. I didn't see anything in the woods when I ventured in for a little break. :) Gotta love the country! I forgot about the rolling hills on this course. Yeah, I know, those aren't hills to anyone else, but to this boy who has been in Nawlins the past 2.5 years, a little change in elevation on the course can be felt. And for those playing at home, you may remember that Lane had a big ol' DNF last year at Memphis in May due to the hammy. Revenge time??? You betcha!!!
