Wild hares or wild hairs? Which poses more of a threat? I guess it depends. A wild hare cannot make you jump on your bike and crank out a 15 mile ride under a beautiful full moon. That same hare also cannot make you turn around the next morning and run 10K under the very same celestial orb. But a wild HAIR can! And it did! Or was it the full moon? I dunno. Either way, moon, hare, or hair...I'm pooped today.
I am in the process of becoming a runner. This blog is a journal of my preparation for the 2011 Dam to Dam 20k road race. It is also dedicated to finding out why people run...a lot.

Running: 16 May 2011 - To Cedar...and Beyond!
I was dragging butt this morning getting up. I'm not sure why, but maybe having the TV in our bedroom is leading to some late night watching...(we moved our room and the family room last weekend so Michael would have a place to sleep and so our bedroom would no longer be a thoroughfare). Well, the big screen is still mounted on the wall - in our new room. You can imagine how the kids are enjoying THAT! But I digress...back to the running...

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.
