Back from my hiatus

I know that absolutely no one has missed me and I cannot blame you at all.  I have been too lazy to get off my butt and write a post.

Well, since no one saw my last post due to the fucktardary of wordpress (go ahead, read it), obviously no feedback on teh daughter running with me.  Today was our first run together and it was awesome. 

We were planning on running Monday, but the downpour outside gave me the perfect excuse to just go back to sleep for another hour instead of running. 

The weather Tuesday was great, but I was lazy again (go figure, and you will see this trend rather prominent in my posts).  Wednesday morning was misty rain and temps in the lower 60's.  I tried for about 5 minutes to get teh daughter up, but she refused.  I did go running, just with out her.

Yesterday was a rest day for me (the schedule I am using said to walk for 30 mins, but as you know by now I am just lazy).  This morning she got up and went out with me.  It was a PERFECT 56 degrees outside.  I put a reflective vest on teh daughter and out we went.  Since she is starting, we are doing a run-walk program together.  I have run 2 half-marathons and attempted on full, but I have always been super slow.  My thought is that I will do this program with her running at a much faster pace.  I want to improve my snailish 13-14 min/mile pace to around 10 min/mile.  I think this program is my way to do it.  We ran 2 minutes and then walked 2 minutes.  We went out from the house for 11 minutes and then back.  We covered 1.9 miles in 21 minutes.  Damn good running pace.

The schedule call for another run tomorrow morning and we are planning on doing it.  However, since I found out that teh daughter will be playing soccer tomorrow, I may just do it by myself.

Also, please think warm thoughts for me this weekend.  The whole family is doing a cub scout camping trip and it is supposed to drop into the 30's Saturday night.  Brr.

Have a great weekend.

  1. Good for you on running/bonding time!! And if you get faster then it's just an added bonus.

    While you are camping this weekend please look in the woods for the remains of teh Glaven. I grow quite worried.

    Who are you? Hemingway?

    If you find my body in the woods, don't tell LuMu.

    She's such a drama queen!

    Also, if you find my body, keep the hands ABOVE the waist, Mister. I can SEE you from my higher plane of existence. So I'm allowing you some breast-gropes, but THAT'S IT!1! Not on a first date! I may be dead, but I'm NOT easy!

    O, who am I kidding!? Go ahead! Go to town on the carcass!

    It's what I would do.
