Third workout day in a row, and I was ready. Headed to the gym to do this on the treadmill. Needed to keep time, which is hard to see in the dark, and my normal Wednesday partner, Greg, is in China. :/. Anyway, it went pretty smooth. :)

1 mile wu
[5 min MRP(800pace)/5 min HMRP(735pace)/5 min MRP(800pace)] x 3
5 min jog between sets.
1.25 mild cd

This actually seemed not bad. Until the third set, then I just wanted to be done. And the cool down. I just hate the cool downs. Not sure why, but I either want to speed it up, or just quit already. :). But I see what Ann is doing here. The 8 min pace seemed so easy after 5 min of 735. Mind games!! Becoming comfortable with the MRP. Loving the MRP.

Now at Scooters with the Gracer, and I am sore and moving slow. That's ok. We are discussing how big of a hit the crab legs were last night. I got kudos all around from all of my Valentines. :)

Have a great HumpDay.

  • carljsamuelson carljsamuelson FYI, you can setup a time-based workout on Garmin, then send it to your watch. For me, that's easier than creating it on any of the watches I've owned; the fancier watches y'all have might be easy enough on the watch itself.

Did gymnastics/lifting routine (~75 minutes) after. I think I may be sterile. I rigged up a pull-up assist band with a foot strap at the bottom so I could practice doing levers on the pull-up bar. The foot strap broke and the entire force of the resistance band, fully extended, ricocheted into my groin. I couldn't even scream, so that was a pleasant end to the morning.

Happy birthday, Scott!

Headed out west for Scott's birthday run at the Z. Massive group there for the 5:00 start of Scott's last 8 of his 38 birthday miles! Great to chat with him, see old friends and new faces. With time constraints, I had to turn back after 2 miles. Ashley, who had also earlier ran with Scott, was very kind (as always) to run back with me.

Song of the day: "All I Have to Do is Dream" by the Everly Brothers. The other Shenendoah legends before Scott came around!

Ran a few solo and met up with Betsy, Theresa, Jimmy, and Dave at the corner at 5. Nice to see them and catch up.

For the last year and a half I have been just getting by. We took in three foster kids. We bought a second home to flip. I hired my first employee. I have been working full time while also trying to remodel our personal home. I also decided to focus on ultra training last year. All of this while trying to have a normal relationship with my wife and family. We also found out we will be having a baby. ;-)

I have had more stress and anxiety in the last year than I've experienced in my entire life. I now know, that without everything that I've been through, I would not look at life as I do now.

I have learned so much. Mostly that I suck at coping. Helping the kids and understanding what they are going through has also helped me to understand more about myself. I have learned how selfish I once was. I have learned to be more considerate of other people and what they are going through.

It's bittersweet to have to let the kids go, but it must be done. Even though this has been the toughest year and a half of my life I wouldn't change any of it. I am looking forward to focusing more on my wife, future child, family and friends again. I am looking forward to the next chapter of life. Great things to come.
  • Edie Edie Great post and congratulations. Let's catch up soon.
