The Heisenberg Household

Hopefully, this will work right.

After weeks of searching, I have found the Heisenberg abode.

Rain, rain and more rain

Sorry for the lack of blogging for almost two weeks.  As I have pointed out previously, I am a slacker.  What did you expect?  Daily blogging?  Interesting stuff?  Yeah, right.

There really has not been much to write about lately.  In my neck of the woods, it has rained ALOT.  None of the rain has interfered with my running (that slacker part did that just fine). 

This morning, on the way to work, I heard the news lady warn that there was fog close to my place of employment.  Gut reaction: F*ck! Damn! Sh!t!

The morons that make a similar to commute to myself have a hard enough time driving like they have any sense when it is sunny and the roads are dry.  Now these same morons have to drive through fog?!  F*ck!

Fog = Needle late for work because people don't know how to drive (not that it matters if Needle is late because he is salaried and nobody give a sh*t except him that he is late - I am anal like that) (and no, Glaven, NOT like that).

Oh yeah, running.....hmm....yeah, I have done just a little of it.  Need. to. get. more. consistent!  Why, of why, will I not get off my lazy a$$ and go running when I know I should be??  I wish I knew.

Have a great day and I promise to post a little more often, I swear!

Surprise! I am a MORON!!!

Hi.  My name is Needle and I am a dumba$$.*

I went for a run this morning and after taking a shower and getting some coffee, I went to bimactive.com to add the run.  I use the hybrid map because I know the landmarks.  As I was looking at the map, it dawned on me that I have been using the wrong house as my start point.

Now, to those of you that live in a neighborhood, you are thinking "Pfffft, it is only like, what, 20 feet!  What kinda loser writes a blog post about 4o feet during a run?!"

First off, I don't live in a neighborhood and secondly, I am that kinda loser.  My neighbor is almost 0.1 of a mile into my run.  So I have been shorting myself, almost 0.2 of a mile on a 2+ mile run for a couple of weeks.  How could I not notice that I was using the wrong house as my starting point?!?

Time for a day of soccer and football.  (For my non-existent Euro-trash readers, that would be football and American football).

Hare a great weekend everyone!

*I have heard that admitting your problem is the first step.  The first step to what, I am not sure of.

Hu-fuckin'-midity

I went for a run this morning and by the time I was done I was just pouring sweat.  I knew that I had run at a decent pace for me (about 3 minutes faster than yesterday for a 2 mile run).

Well, I get to work and I add my run to bimactive.com.  It has a nice feature where it records what the actual weather conditions were during the run.  The temp was a nice 66 degrees, but the humidity was 100%.  I am not making that up.  100% hu-fuckin'-midity.  No wonder my balls were a sweatin'.

Knee Pain:

About a month ago, I was taking part in a soccer coaching class for U10.  As part of the training, all of the coaches went out to the field and did some drills and then played a game of soccer.  The idea was for us to get a clue as to what the players are going thru.  Being the competitor that I am, I went all out during the game.  The next day, I could barely walk and my left knee was in pain.  This same knee is still hurting, but only during side to side movements.  It does not bother me at all during my runs and the only time I notice it is when I am stretching and I put force to one side or the other. 

Should I be worried about this?  After my run, the pain in the knee is very small.

Running update:

2 day streak going (impressive, I know)

Was thinking I needed a new title

I believe Needle SHOULD be Running would be a better name right now.  Let me go ahead and let you in on a secret......I am a slacker.  I have no will power.  And I am not much to look at either (but that has nothing to do with running).

Anyway, I am finally back on the running wagon.  I only ran twice last week for a total of 4.3 miles.  Pathetic.  I am back to trying my FFBS plan that I have talked about numerous times and will keep you updated.  Occasionally.

So, what did the Needle Clan do over the holiday weekend?  We went to watch some college football, of course.  Mrs. Needle and I are both alumni of Mississippi State University.  Also, Mrs. Needle is very fond of going to football games (what can I say, I got it good).

We spent ALL day Saturday in Starkville and had a blast.  We tailgate with some friends that I went to college with.  Drank many beers and had a great time.  Poor S had to walk all the way across campus in her cast.  I am more than a little pissed at all the university golf carts that drove past us and none of them offered to pick her up.
