I am a rythm person - I am either in a healthy rythm or unhealthy
Every time I get on the cusp of getting in pretty good shape - I fall down.
1 day or no running and beer drinking has little effect
2 days - it takes about a week to recover
3 days and it will take 2-3 weeks
I just took 3 days off with a 4th day just a little jog - Perfect timing for Grandmas marathon ... I think I enjoy failing.
If I was not trying to train - The weekend was great 3 days of camping with family and friends - Golf, kickball, volleyball, egg toss, horse shoes, fishing and loads of drinking and eating junk. It was a lot of fun - Maybe next time I will have to try drinking something other than beer and tequilla the whole time. I think dry muscles get sore easy. Running post time off has been very painful.
Not tweaking - just tired of being incapable of balance.
Like my friend Richard say's - As long as we get up 1 more time than we fall down, we win!
Long dead ... But my stench lingers !
We're all pulling for you here, Mike. Please remember that you don't need to drink much to be a great runner, friend, and dad.
Speed my steps along your path, according to your will.
Feeling the growl again
I can't fall down because you have to be standing up for that to happen...and I can't seem to get off my knees.

My latest Blog entry is about this subject -
That's a big part of the problem right now. Running-wise, anyways.
Just got back from a trip of 4 12+ hr days....leave again Sunday for a full week but hope this one is more conducive to some running. Thought I'd get a double in today as I didn't have to go in but instead I spent the AM cutting a damn tree from the storm off my driveway.
Usually after I "Fall Down" I end up punishing myself with some really big run days or weeks.
This works out really poorly if I am suppose to be tapering
I really want to run a lot this week to pay for my sins, but Grandmas marathon is June 18th - Its killing me not be inflict pain and suffereing on myself.
