Running: 14 May 2011 - Playing Catch Up

G'day all,

I'm still trying to get back into the swing of things with running and blogging.  Let me catch everyone up on this past week.  I ran only twice this week due to rain.  Gotta love Iowa weather.  90 plus on one day and humid as hell, then rainy and cold the next.  It's been said, 'if you don't like Iowa weather, wait 5 minutes and it'll change.'

Running: 5 May 2011 - Cinco de Mayo

Hola! Y Feliz Cinco de Mayo!  Yes, it is the day of independence for our south of the border brethren.  And time for another entry into my independent look at why people run. Today, against my urge to sleep just a little longer, I donned once again my running gear.  Had I been thinking (a rarity of late), I would have mapped out a 5 miler for today.  I was close though with 4.45 miles.

Running: 3 May 2011 - Not Quite Midnight Madness

I don't know what bug crawled up inside me, but I got the urge to run tonight.  I told my self (and COACH would be proud), that I was going to do about 4 miles.  So, after getting home from my son Brennan's track meet at Dallas Center/Grimes, I donned my running gear and headed out.

Running: 29 April 2011 - A New Committment

Ok, let me first begin by aplogizing.  I have been remiss....no, delinquent....actually, lazy.  There.  I admitted to the "L" word.  I had every intention of doing this running thing for a whole year, with the goal of running the 2011 Dam-to-Dam on 4 June 2011.  I still plan on running D2D and will be registering tonight.  That said, I haven't been TOTALLY lazy.  Read on...
