Was about 1-1/2 miles from Econo Lodge near downtown Kearney when I stepped on the edge of a curb and my right ankle went over. Limped around a bit and then shuffled back but it was already swollen when I got back. Bummer.

Needed to get after it, but didn't have the legs for it today. Tried, but that is how it goes sometimes.

Goal workout was 3 x 2miles with 800m jog (about 5 min), cut-down style.

Goal was 5:50 low, 5:40 low, 5:30 low.

Tempo Thursday. 8 @ MGP. Goal Time 56:24. 1 up, 1 down.

Actual 55:19

Been trying to focus on running MGP by feel rather than looking at my watch all the time, so this run was a little faster than planned, but it felt good, so I'll take it.

Legs feeling better - good effort out there. I wonder how many more times I have left to run this course since I won't be running it after my employment is terminated. I figured I've already run it about 600 times. And you know what? That damn hill up 60th Street has never gotten any easier. Of course if it was about running getting easier I would have quit 20 years ago.

Eh - decent run. Felt pretty good except when heading in to that north wind.

Survived the board meeting. After 90 minutes we approved 7-2 to proceed with a bond issue that was $435,000 lower than where we started. Kind of a waste of time as it will reduce the levy something like 0.1 cents per thousand or $less than $1 per year on a $100K house.

Its a laborious loop. I've been squeezing in my walks but fully into this year's garden. Plus some. My buddy Andrew has 32 flips going right now, call's when he's got something. Over the last five days Linda & I completely dismantled a huge tree house, shed and raised beds from a job. Took out every screw and nail, sorted and stacked, my dream potting shed ever so closer now. #BarNone#Reclamation#Rustic#Free.99

Met Matt and Exum for Michelle's spin class. The seated hill climbs about did me in. Hoping my legs are strong for Saturday.

Saturday. Bryan Medical Center's annual Indoor Triathlon. Yep. The day has come. Have to beat my fifth place finish from last year. (Top Bryan Employee, though:D) However, a little wrinkle this year.....in my wave there's a girl named Molly, and a guy named Matt. Yep. The competition is fierce and the talking has been trashy. If I get third out of us three, I might as well just throw in the towel.

Have a great Thursday!!
  • getfuzzy getfuzzy that sounds super fun--is that after your long run?
    • posted at 09:06:00 EDT
  • Linny Linny ^It will be fun! (if I win) ;) Haha, and no, I'll probably schedule my long run for Sunday. I've been getting in trouble for my two-a-day workouts.

Song of the day: "Forever, Forever" by Keiko Matsui. I saw her and her band perform at Yoshi's Jazz Club in Oakland CA one week ago today. She is an amazing pianist and I was also fortunate to meet her before her show. Keiko explained the inspiration for this song--when her daughter was 2, she said to her "Mom, I love you forever forever". The other performances I saw in California were the afore-mentioned Judy Collins in Pasedena and Ottmar Liebert with his band Luna Negra in Mill Valley--both were sensational. Grand finale of my trip was seeing the San Francisco Ballet and Orchestra perform Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake"...just breathtaking!
