6 Miles: 1 hour, 7 seconds.

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Not bad :) My legs are hurting though :(

I’m almost at a solid, quarter marathon (or half my race in, oh, two weeks).

It was tough going, but at least I was able to run before work today, and the weather cooperated.

Tomorrow is a rest day. I’m going to need it! :)

5 Miles: 51 Minutes

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Not bad, but not good either. At least I’m maintaining My 10 minute mile (roughly), but 5 miles is a far cry from 13.1, and with only weeks to go until the half marathon, I’m going to have to step it up.

Keep me in your thoughts my friends. :)

3 Miles Today

Monday, May 5th, 2008

It’s been weeks since I’ve run. Low energy. Overseas travel. A sickness I took back with me from my overseas travel. STILL cold weather. Miscellanous things.

Today I left work a little early so it would still be daylight when I got home. Managed to do 3 miles today. Maybe could have done more, but I didn’t want to push it.

Less than 4 weeks until the half marathon and I’m at 3 miles. Not even 25% Sigh. I guess I can walk part of the way. Won’t be no PR’s this time.

Dylan @ Worcester on 5/16

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

Woo Hoo!! Yes, Bobcats, Dylan is coming to the Worcester Palladium on May 16. It’s been MONTHS since I last saw Dylan in concert. I am THERE dude!

The shows haven’t been that great lately though. The set lists have been as boring as the backup band. I long for the days of 2003 when he still had Larry Campbell and Charlie Sexton in the band. Bob was playing obscurities like “Yea, Heavy and a Bottle of Bread”, as well as covers by Warren Zevon, Neil Young, even the Rolling Stones!

Yeah, those were the days.

Now all we get is greatest hits with a dull back up band.

But I don’t care. It’s Bob and I’m going. I’ll let you know how it is :)

Sorry Seems To Be the Hardest Word

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

As my friends Bill and Angry Jack know, even when you think you’re doing the right thing, sometimes not everyone is going to agree with you, or be on board with what you decide.

With every blessing, there is a cost, and sometimes the bill is bigger than you thought it would be.

Thankfully I have a few good friends who are praying for me. With God’s will, I will pull through and everything will be OK.
