PS Susie Thanks for the very cute T-shirt I am going to wear it in to KFAN tomorrow! Listen for me!

Tomorrow is the day!

It looks like mother nature is going to cooperate!

If any of you are coming from the west side of town 394 is going to be closed from 100 to 94. Hwy 55 is a good alternative.

See you all tomorrow!

Power of the pack!

I did it!!! I finally broke the 40 minute mark!

Today I ran the Race For The Cure with my friend, Sheila, her daughter Nikki and her fiancee, Peter. I just set my stop watch rather than my interval timer, because that race is so huge that it takes you 5 minutes just to get to the start line. The last race I somewhat timed my self I ran 41 minutes, which is fine. Today I finished in 39 minutes 30 seconds!

The crazy part of the race was that I easily ran 10 & 1 intervals. My race day adrenalin must have been behind that, because on Wednesday my ass was draggin' with 6 & 1. When I started my fourth interval I new I was very close to the end and from some unknown location I was able to muster up quite a bit of sprint to get me under 40 minutes. I usually dislike my watch, because it is not at the time I want it to be (1 second from the walk minute), but today it was my friend. I used it as a gauge to know how far I went, what my pace was and if I could shave any time off. A 30 minute 5k doesn't seem like a fantasy anymore.

Hope you are all having a relaxing Mother's Day

Tony our prayers go out to you and your family.

I put my dog in a coma!

On this beautiful Sunday I thought I would walk 10k. I have a great and relatively flat course right by my house that I thought I would tackle with my dog, Slide.

I have not been running with him much the past couple months since we started running rubes and I have been on strike against mother nature. That being the case I thought walking would be wise. I was really in the mood for a long walk, had the ipod cranked, visor on , LET'S GO!

Needless to say, we did not make it 10k, maybe 7k, I was practically dragging him! I didn't think that it was possible for my dog to be in worse shape than me. If looks could kill, I think that I would have died along that 10k path. Slide came in the house drank a bowl full of water and collapsed on the floor and hasn't really moved since! I think he is going to have to get on the training program!

Have a great week!
