Half Crazy K 2.0


    6 miles this morning.  I forgot to mention the oddness on yesterday's run. There were 3 people standing outside an end unit townhouse with a bunch of stuff in the yard. I get 2 courts up, maybe .1 miles and there is a running car, leaking a lot of something with a 2x2 piece of wood stuck in the grill. I have to assume that car hit the fence or something at the townhouse,  but couldn't figure out the how. Well, aside from really terrible driver.....I got the heck outta there yesterday.

        The terrible drivers aren't just running.  In the past 3 years, 3 have wound up in our backyard. In the prior 20 years, only had 2 close calls.

          8 miles with 4x1200m. It was OK.

            HCK - have you had a lemon stick? I have never heard of this, but just read that it's a "Baltimore tradition." It's just a peppermint stick jammed into half a lemon. It sounds weird.

              Probably run 4 tonight. My body feels so much stronger now than 3 months ago. There are a lot of small ways I can tell the difference between now and then. I had to set down to tie my shoes do to lack of flexibility a few months ago. I had to use a step stool to get off the ground after I stretched.

                Morning! Actually afternoon! My whole morning was spent getting ready, arguing or reporting back from the mega hearings. I'm done. My analyst is bringing me two slices of pizza for lunch when he comes back from lunch. Hope he hurries up, lol!

                 

                I have 4 after work.

                  My runs are usually boring. Other than dodging drivers that aren't paying attention to pedestrians or runners they're pretty uneventful.

                    When I was a kid we used to sometimes stick a peppermint stick in an orange and suck through it like a straw. The orange juice with the peppermint and sugar taste was really good, IIRC.

                      Morning: failed tread mill attempt

                      afternoon: 20 mins in hot tub stretching and digging fingers in the the problem area…. Made if feel better…. Will start with that tomorrow morning

                        Yes, I've had this. The peppermint sticks aren't like a candy cane, they are a little softer. It's pretty good.
