10 miles
Q = 4, E = 7
Okay run. 4 out, 1 right, 3 right, 1 right, 1 back home. Saw some people working on some power lines. They were climbing up the poles like apes. They must have spikes on their shoes or something. Heard some cows mooing very loudly. Then I heard a gun going off. Maybe the farmer was shooting the cows. How depressing. The run took about 1:23. Took 2 short walking breaks. Tried to join the pee and run club; failed.
Did 1 x 1 min ab planks after the run.

Mid to Late PM
2 miles
Was going to run to work, but didn't. I had quite a bit of food to take for my breaks and supper, so I decided to drive. Ran a half mile at each 15 minute break, and a mile at the 30 minute break. The last half mile was an AWESOME run! The quality was probably an 8 or 9, effort 2 or 3. I felt really good. The legs felt really fresh! Tomorrow should be a good day of running...I will be pretty busy though: run 10 miles in the morning, practice an hour, drive to Kearney, drop off clarinet at Stelling Brass for tune up, practice spare clarinet for an hour, run 10 miles, call places to look at houses for Victoria...all this must be done before 4:30, when Lisa gets off. It is a good plan. Having a lot of stuff to do keeps a person productive.

Had planned to get quite a bit of PT in, but only got in a little bit.
2 x 30 ab = 60
2 x 30 push = 60
10 x 5 pull = 50
3 x 15 dip = 45
I don't know why I almost did more pullups than ab or pushup. Interesting. Maybe I was just sort of lazy...tomorrow I wil do a real workout, maybe.

When I came home from work, there were some freshly made brownies on the kitchen counter. Yum yum! I ate 3 of them. My excuse for the extra ones is that I need the calories for tomorrow's high mileage, but this is probably true. These days, I won't ever give up brownies or chocolate or anything sweet like that. They are SO GOOD!

I need to start going to bed earlier. I need more sleep.
Or, maybe I don't. Maybe my body has adjusted to less than 7 hours a night.

So, I no longer post on ndorfnz, but I started a lot at Running Ahead. There, I was reading a discussion about running improving eyesight, and found this quote by "Large Richard" that I think is awesome:
I have noticed that I can spot many more ladies in tights since I started running.
Thanks, Running!!!

Yes, it's good to keep busy, and it's good to have a plan ahead of time. You make plans, you stay busy, you are very good! Very inspiring.
I think those pole climbing guys get special training on how to do that. I'm afraid of heights, won't catch me up there.
Thanks for the backcountry outlet site address! Great treasures to be had! I can get a pair of women's fireroads for $53, free shipping! I'm seriously considering it as they look to be just the thing for where I run.
That's a fantastic quote. Very funny!
Your post today gets 6 stars. 6 out of how many? I don't know, but you get 6 of them. Keep them safe.
Tried to join the pee and run club but failed? I'm not going to ask how, but I still chuckle.
That's a sweet plan for tomorrow. I agree that a full schedule is a productive schedule. It takes a lot of discipline but with the right motivation it will get done.
Eat those brownies!
Just like quality miles you need quality sleep. If you feel like you need more then you probably need more. Your body will adjust, but give it time and take it slow. Sleep to the MAX!
I love the quote! True story.
Same with going to the beach. More girls in bikini's than the grocery store.
Sweet mileage man! I like the short run at breaks idea. If I didn't have to wear a uniform, I'd do that too. Way to maximize time!
I agree, lots of stuff on your plate makes you efficient.
Oh! Fireroads! I thought that was the name of the country road by the house. I'm officially retarded.
"Let's get retarded in here!
In this context, there's no disrespect, but when I bust a rhyme, you break your necks..."
You're only 5'7"?
