Oak Bombardment ThursDailies (Read 23 times)

    'Morning!  I ran 6 easy on the track.  Another guy showed up shortly after me.  I was in lane 8 and he was in lane 1.  He slowly worked his way over until eventually he was in lane 8 with me, forcing me to switch lanes to pass him.  WHY??  The entire focking track was empty and he had to move over into my lane?  God dammit!

      In my neighborhood it's the squirrels that throw acorns at us--and I wish I were kidding. Mean sons of guns.

       

      Reminds of the black and red bird that was dive-bombing me one summer. I was so pissed at that thing I wanted to shoot at it! Messed around and dropped my mp3 player trying to run from it and it got crushed by a car!

        I think some people like to turn off their brain when they run on a track. I was doing intervals one afternoon and there were 3 ladies walking 4 dogs. They took up the whole damn track & then some, and acted shocked each time I came through.

            Do geese or ducks congregate on it? Ugh. Makes for such a muddy mess!

             

            not that I saw this morning but is does wash all the mulch out of our beds so I get to rake/blow it all back in this weekend. I htink this will be the 4th or 5th time this year. Crazy rainy summer

              He is probably like the blue guy here:

              Are we there, yet?

                 That being said, I've yet to run a single clockwise lap.

                 

                You should consider doing that to balance the stress from the turns on ankles, knees, and hips.

                  I've done alternating-direction workouts when I'm at the less crowded of the two tracks I use, early in the morning when I have the place to myself (or in cold weather, when I also have the place to myself).

                      10K with hill repeats because I hate myself, and shockingly enough, the wind was behind me going uphill!

                       

                      Pondering buying THE jacket because it's the colors I've wanted all along, and I'm paranoid there won't be any left in my size if I wait

                            The bridge I run across every morning is in there somewhere while the sidewalk is completely submerged.

                              I do it, but don't feel particularly fast when going clockwise.
