    At the moment anyway...

     

    I'll be heading out shortly to tackle the asphalt.

      Hello, people of INTERNET.  I swam before work.  I have a bike workout tonight with some race effort intervals.  Compared to the intervals I normally do, race effort will feel pretty easy.

            I don't know when the forum home page changed, but it's hilarious.

            The other day I got in an argument with a seller, as he was telling me that heel drop is marketing bullshit and it doesn't make any difference. I did not trust his advise on shoes after that.

             

            MTA: A light argument. I'm old and don't care as much about proving my point as I used to.

                Then I went home, ate a banana, changed clothes and then took Jetta for what ended up being a 6.2 mile run.

                We finished the run just as it was starting to drizzle, so yay!

                I've still got some glute exercises to do, Fire Hydrants and Clam thingies......... fun fun.

                  I ran 7.5 and chased a squirrel for about 20 feet towards the end of it. The little bastard was terrified which is good because they scare the shit out of me suddenly scampering across fence tops or up poles all the time.

                    Morning!  We still have no power, FFS!  We just got a hotel room for tonight since we have not slept in 2 days.  Not easy sleeping when the house is 92F inside.  Anyway, I hope this place has a gym (probably), because I'm heading to do my run as soon as I can get home and bring all our freezer to this one.

                      Office is also closed until further notice.  Not bad...if I HAD ELECTRICITY.

                        I hate squirrels. Montreal is infested with them.

                         

                        I actually kicked one the other day. I was running (duh) and a squirrel in the garbage darted on one side of the sidewalk, then decided to change direction and darted back across the sidewalk in front of me. My right foot hit it right in the stomach, it bounced about 2 feet in front of me and got out of the way. I could have tripped on the little bastard and fell.

                          That shit sucks........

                          I've never been to a hotel that had great refrigerators and I don't think I've ever seen a freezer in them. But I've only stayed at like 6 in my lifetime.

                              I ran 8 with 6 at MP. It was 75 degrees out with full sun, but it didn't suck as much as I originally imagined it would.
