Morning GG!!! Happy V day!
Welcome every morning with a smile... Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again....

Feb 18th.....
Okay so....I RAN A RACE TODAY! You have to remeber...no running for a week...just started to feel better....woke up this am and said "what the hell...I'm doing it".
So It was lol this is great...a 5 mile trail run through a extremely hilly mountian bike trail which was ungroomed (which means 5 inches of snow unpacked)....
Thoughts on the run...thought I was dying lol...took 1 hour 25 min.....which was decent since a friend of mine who did the Ironman did it in an hour. I have never ever ran anything so hard....glad I have more balls then brains. But all in all it was a blast.......

Congratulations on all your runs lately -- I hope it's helped to clear your head up, even if just a little bit!
And shoot -- balmy 30?! What?! CRAZY!
Good work, GG.

The secret of being miserable is to have leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not. The cure for it is occupation.

WORDS WOMEN USE
FINE: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
5 MINUTES: If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. 5 minutes is only 5 minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
NOTHING: This is the calm before the storm. This means "something," and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in "Fine"
GO AHEAD: This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.
LOUD SIGH: This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing"
THAT'S OKAY: This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay," means that she wants to think long and hard
before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
THANKS: A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say you are welcome.
WHATEVER: it is a woman's way of saying $!@# YOU!

“God has only three answers to your prayers:
1) Yes
2) Yes, but not now
3) No, because I have something better for you”
Feb 27th...
Okay....So here I am trying to figure out how I want to train for this season that is going to start pretty soon....
Yesterday I ran 4 miles in the am...nothing to really write about lol....but my calf kept cramping all the way through...
Going to add one of these a week:
8 to 10 x 400 meters at mile race pace with 90 seconds recovery
5 x 200 meters at mile race pace with 30 seconds recovery, 3-minute jog, 4 x 200 meters at two seconds faster than the earlier 200s with 30 seconds recovery. Run the last 200 all out.
20 x 400 meters at 10-K race pace with 30 seconds recovery. Run the last all out.
25-minute tempo run at slightly faster than your normal tempo-run pace-which is usually about 20 seconds slower than 10-K race pace. Think hard/comfortable rather than comfortable/hard.
1) Yes
2) Yes, but not now
3) No, because I have something better for you”

~ When The Sand Runs Out~
I spent the morning at an old friend's grave
Flowers and amazing grace he was a good man
But he spent his whole life spinning his wheels
Never knowing how the real thing feels
He never took a chance or took the time to dance
And I stood there thinking as I said goodbye
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
I'm gonna stop looking back start moving on
And learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart make my mark
I wanna leave something here
Go out on a ledge without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah I wanna be running when the sand runs out
Cause people do it every day promise themselves they're gonna change
I've been there
But I'm changing from the inside out that was then this is now
I'm a new man yeah I'm a brand new man
And when they carve my stone they'll write these words
Here lies a man who lived life for all it was worth
March 4th......
Ran 3 crappy miles.....wore my trail running shoes and they make my hips hurt....

Hey GG!
Congrats on your swimming successes and I think *I* would have been sore from it too! Are fins the things you put on your hands?
I'm sure they're not the same as floaties that you'd throw on your kids arms.
That'd be hysterical to see though -- I'm goofy enough that I'd put 'em on to get a laugh... probably not at the gym, though.
Missed you at the Arnold. Keep it up with all your training... 3 crappy miles is still 3 miles... you'll have such an adrenaline rush for that tri that it'll be a breeze regardless of where your weakness lies at that moment.

Healthy eating in March: Watercress!
It just shouts “Spring is almost here!” Watercress is very low in calories and carbohydrates, has more iron in it than spinach, more calcium than milk, more folic acid than broccoli, is packed with vitamins A and C, plus it is a significant source of lysine, arginine, potassium and beta-carotene. The vitamins and minerals in watercress have been shown to reduce the risks of cataracts, coronary artery disease, lung, breast and hormone-related cancers. It is also a natural antibiotic that is especially effective against respiratory and urinary infections.
