Austin Lunch Heat (

for a second i thought it says Austin Lunch Meat. Then i thought that Austin Lunch Meat would be a much cooler group title...or a name of a band.

I used to run at Town Lake during lunch hours and during the summer. Well actually I ran from the rec center on campus down to Town Lake, did the 4 mile loop and ran back to campus. Hot as all hell those runs were. I wore nothing but skimpy black running shorts, socks, shoes, and a watch.

Yeah, I guess I'm being overly sentimental, since I got to run there in April, during a cool snap! It sure was beautiful. You were lucky you could get away with wearing that little!

I'm sorry I missed that.

There are skimpier pictures of me in one of these threads. Although I am not running. So, there you have it.

Marcus, I will have to take lessons from you on resting - I have achilles tendonitis and am not supposed to run until I'm pain-free (week plus or minus, supposedly). BLECH!! I was doing so great. I'm trying to think positively and enjoy the rest. Sigh.

Teresa, I am the last person you want advice from on this. It's probably from lack of adequate rest that I ended up like this. A forced rest is not the same as a voluntary rest. I am stuck with the former.

When you come back, I recommend working in some trail miles. It's the best way to keep tendonitis away.

Thanks for the links, Blaine. I've been meaning to get over to Twin Brook, so I will do that for sure, hopefully week after next. I LOVE running in the woods, so it will be fun. Be sure to check the newspaper Sunday for the state meet results - Logan is seeded 2nd in the Class B, 3200 meter race. I did warn him that the heat might be tough, so not to be disappointed if he doesn't PR. He ran it in 9:57 last week. His dad had told him that we'd go out to a restaurant of his choice when he went sub-10, so it's the Olive Garden tonight. Marcus, I was referring to forced rest, since I knew you were going through it. It's hard, and it's been less than a day for me! Poor DH will have to put up with me for awhile.

Use your guitar as therapy. BTW, I like your top 3 guitarists on your myspace. I like and respect EVH, but I especially dig Page and Gilmour, who are two of my favorites.

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

Teresa, sorry you have injury. How bad is it? I thought trail running if was rocky and uneven terrain was harder on the body? I've had it with injuries. I started building my own soft-trail through my woods. I cleared about 1/4 mile and I found another trail. It's on my neighbor's property bordering mine. Think I can run on it as long it's not hunting season. Not long enough for LRs but some short runs to lighen the impact on my ever complaining shin should help.
