Omaha [20160414]: How Can We Run When Our Kansas Are Burning

Goal was to hit each and every hill as hard as I could; @ the top of Martha was the closest, for real, I've come to puking. Kudos to me.

Well, I was having a most rotten day. Just as good as I felt yesterday was as puny as I felt today. So tired and not really able to walk from here to there, let alone swim. Just when you think you have all things figured out. Nope. :). But what fun would that be? Then I checked in here. Made me smile. This is why I keep coming back. The people. Thanks peeps. :)

500 swim 500 kick 500 pull. Then I had to get out for fear of drowning. :)

Have a most awesome day.

Worked first, then visited my birdies, then ran.

Run felt awful. Picked up a coffee on the way home as a treat.

Saw a license plate: LOWTECH. ha ha! that's me!

Bird watching is hard on the neck and spine. They are worth it. :))

Closed my running log with the red cover, the one I've gotten every year for 26 years, and put it on the shelf. My days of logging miles and plotting workouts are over. just not the same anymore.

Omaha is so far ahead of Minnesota. Not quite mowing ready yet up here. :)

Hope you all have a most excellent day.

Wife was still sick from yesterday, so I was up early. Decided to try running again. Felt ok. Did 2 miles on, 2 minute walk, 2 miles on. Then 60 minutes of weights that was interrupted for about 30 minutes while I tended to da Boss. Did about 20 minutes of cycling post because that's all time permitted. Hoping to get in some more time in saddle after work, but it's a long day for me here.

Holy smokes was I tired this morning! Almost thought about doing this workout tonight after work, but thankfully I got out the door. Felt better once I got going and the workout itself wasn't perfect but wasn't bad. Glycogen locking in process. Easy runs tomorrow and Sunday, then it's show time!

Thanks again to all who came to the send off run yesterday--it definitely had the desired effect of sending me off with a smile! And thanks to all of you for your friendship and support.
