6 miles - treadmill

It's raining like a bugger today in Massachusetts.... relegated to the treadmill. 

Highlight of the run was when it was getting hot in the basement and I decided to take my shirt off mid stride.  I ended up losing my balance and stepping off the edge of the mill.... being the smart guy that I am tried to regain composure and step back on.  I almost got spit off the back of the angry beast, but pulled off some acrobatics and avoided a total yardsale!

No time for running today, there was just too much going on.  Like my daughter scoring the first THREE goals for her soccer team in the semi-finals of the town tournament!  I couldn't have been more proud!  Way to go Maggie.... YOU ROCK!  She's in 2nd grade and she told me that she wants to play soccer & run track in highschool.... that's my girl!

1.2 miles with my wife & 12 miles solo -7:45 avg.

My wife completed a mile on the track last weekend, and this morning we decided to hit the road.  2k in the books for Amy!  Nice job hon!

I then decided to go out for a semi-long run in the heat of the day.  I brought water & a GU with me this time and I was glad that I did.  You've got to keep the system lubricated!  At mile eight I took some Gu and got some hard pieces along with some regular consistency in the first squeeze?  I spit out the chunks and flipped the wrapper upside down for the expiration date.  Good until 2010..... there it was, Gross!  All in all, a great day.

I was on the road this morning @ 3:30am.  Two miles into it I knew that I would be cutting this run short.  This Blog post could be titled "Doodie calls or Doodie Falls?" :)  Luckily I made it back home and the world was still a safe place. 

2.17 miles - 8:28 avg. (A run with my buddy Ryan)

The last time Ryan ran was last summer with me.... we did 3 trail miles on that occasion.  He says that he is disgusted with his body and wants to lose the gut.  I hope he sticks to the running!

Happy Father's day to all the Dads out there! 

Great run today with Kris an avid runner who lives about a mile from my house.  Kris has some great trail runs mapped out in the surrounding towns, so we hooked up for a jaunt.  I haven't run with anybody for any significant distance since I started running again a couple of years ago, so I was more than happy for some company!  Some great trails that I will definitely be frequenting in the near future.  We both took some spills and had some great conversation.

On the road at 3:25am..... kind of getting used to this early morning running.  The temps were in the low 60's and I had the streets to myself :)  The first couple of miles at this time of day are always a grind/march for me and then my legs wake up and start moving better.

3+ miles walking with my wife - 4:30am

Always enjoyable being outside with Amy.  We spooked a deer early on in the walk when we were down by the river, and then saw 3 or 4 rabbits along the route.

The wildlife has been awesome around here lately..... as we were sitting on the screened in porch drinking our morning coffee, Amy spotted a fox running down our street!  I sprung up out of my seat just in time to see it duck behind our neighbor's house.  Good stuff!
