I hate this!

1) OK, I'll drink for whining.

2) Been stuck in a motel and classes all week - my workout schedule is SHOT. I haven't run since Saturday's Mall Walker's Hash. I am going crazy.

3) Poop.

4) I hear Brownie is gay.

5) Poop. I think I'll go do the Incline again tomorrow or Saturday morning. I gotta do something, damn it! Back in the office next week and I can get my daily runs OnOn.

6) POOP!

The Incline

Is the most intense, most killer workout I have EVER experienced!

Brownie, thanks for telling me about it. Yer a pussy for not coming. Oh, and WTF with the Barr trail only being 3 miles? You are high. 4 is more like it ...

The coolest thing about the climb, though, was topping out, looking around and realizing how incredibly beautiful my surroundings were! I will definitely hit this trail again!

The Incline ... solo

I have never even been there, but f***in' Brownie wanked out on me! And he's not even going to happy hour!

1) Brownie, drink for wussing out.

2) I am going to the Incline tomorrow (today? WTF time is it?) FRIDAY at 1030. Any of you hosers want to come get sweaty, e-mail me.

3) poop. Just, f***ing poop.

4) I like beer.

Lick

It was beautiful ...

I had a loooooooooooooooo (lotta "o's", huh?) oooooooooong day at the office today. Stuff flying at me from left and right. Everything had to happen now, everything was not quite working correctly, and it just wouldn't let up. Let me say one thing before I get over the long day -- Microsoft Server Extensions to support FrontPage are *EVIL*. Just my opinion. If you don't agree, keep that shit to yourself.

So, long day, 1/2 of it taken up with training (so I couldn't get the other projects done) and then, get the little things I didn't quite finish during the morning finished before I skipped out the door.

Got home, changed into my running gear immediately. Kissed the wife and away!

I headed West, the sun setting just over the shoulder of Pike's Peak, beautiful colors in the sky and a crisp, cool breeze. I just kind of locked in to my pace and ran. No MP3 player. No distractions, just me and the road. If only it was a little warmer, and a little less pavement, but, no matter. I just put on the miles.

About three miles into the run, I decided to do some wind sprints, just because I need to get acclimated to this altitude. I surprised myself, a little, but enjoyed the feeling of the wind on my face as I pushed just a bit harder. And the sunset was glorious.

The only bad thing about runs like today's is that they have to end some time. I took it easy, just four or so miles, but it was a great way to unwind from a rough day. I think I'll do it again.
