You wouldn't have been impressed this aftern...Awww. You wouldn't have been impressed this afternoon...35 minutes (barely) on a treadmill...was the most painful 35 minutes of running I've done in a long while.<BR/><BR/>Here's what I learned this weekend...after running 9.5 miles it is REALLY important to eat something within 30 minutes or so. Because of Charlie's birthday party, I had to run some errands, including three stops trying to find for Aztec shirts for the boys (finally ended up at the Aztec store in Fashion Valley), pick up a cake, get sodas. We finished running at about 3:00. I didn't eat or drink anything but water until about 5:00... I've never felt so rotten in my life.<BR/><BR/>Needless to say, the beer I had at 5:05 went straight to my head, and was the reasons I wasn't at the Aztec game (sorry Edith). I completely CRASHED.<BR/><BR/>Lesson learnedAka Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09691390225208616675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141971839070256791.post-28729101977608326052008-05-19T21:12:00.001-07:002008-05-19T21:12:00.001-07:00I'm going over Edith's to see "Hottie" - but that ...I'm going over Edith's to see "Hottie" - but that run yesterday was really tough for me. And Dave can no longer run with us (Cindi's borther in law - Dave). He laughed when I told him that I Wog in stead of Jogging. By mile 7 he realized that he could walk quickly to keep up with my "sprint" - or Wog pace. <BR/><BR/>That's painful - as well as when the man with 2 knee braces and a limp passes by you!<BR/><BR/>Cindi on the other hand - is looking great! She ran 9.5 miles faster and stronger than we were able to run 8.5! I'm so impressed and proud of her.<BR/><BR/>Although cindi thought it was nice to see Leslie on the run - I don't like see friends reach "their" finish line as I'm heading out on my "starting" point. but heather looked happy also.<BR/><BR/>The beach run is a good one - so beautiful and full of water stops. I think I'll do it again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141971839070256791.post-39156516371373943102008-05-19T21:12:00.000-07:002008-05-19T21:12:00.000-07:00Hey Herd!

I did Lake Murray solo yesterday (but at a normal hour of 3:30pm) and my knee is killing me...not good.<BR/><BR/>Mom is still here until tomorrow but some teasers from the week...when your kid's school school calls, is it bad to have them put your kid on the phone and say "you better be sick!"?...or... exactly what force do you need to throw a basketball from the garage 2nd floor landing to break a french door window?...or... how much does it hurt when a surfing monkey hits you full force, square in the face? (my lip looks GREAT from that one) and finally...exactly how much does it cost for a cab ride from Legoland vs AAA coming out to rekey your car in the rain? ($90 vs $360)<BR/><BR/>I love my brother, but was very happy to put him, his kids, and his karma back on the plane Thursday night! See y'all soon!<BR/>Edith<BR/>Sunday, February 24, 2008 - 08:31 AMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
