What are you doing right now?

I'm sitting at my desk trying to stay awake. I'm still pretty damn tired from my bike ride last night, or maybe I just didn't sleep that well after my son got me up at midnight...

If the Dr gives you flowers when you arrive, RUN!

I think the longest I've gone in one shot is 16 minutes?

Today's goal is 20 minutes straight of running.

It's not likely I'll be able to run the entire 5K, BUT I'll be able to run more of it than I could have before I started training. Progress is good! And I'm happy with how far I've come so far. I have the 5 mile race on 8/10 and then I need to find races for Sept and Oct to keep me motivated, maybe even Nov, too.

Much easier to find races in Sept through December in CT, as for some crazy reason more folks like to run when it's cooler out then when it's about 1000 degrees outside!

Check out this link through The Hartford Marathon Foundation and their events

http://www.hartfordmarathon.com/foundationnew.htm

They put on alot of 5K's over the course of the year and run a really good race - all the races on Marathon Day, even the 5K they have are a blast and the associated activities they have both pre and post race in Bushnell Park on Marathon Day are great for both the racers and their family cheering sections (last year when I ran the 1/2 Marathon, my wife had no problems keeping the kids - just under 2 and just under 4 - occupied for the 1:51 and change it took me to run the 13.1 miles)

Right now I'm about to go and see if the 6 year old currently sitting in one of my chairs will be cooperative for a couple of fillings!

That sounds really sucky..you're rich..just hire somebody to do it..

Last night I was at the Iron Pigs game and they lost 8-2 to Louisville..I now know why I haven't been to a baseball game in a decade..they're boring. At least I got free food and beer in the luxury box. They had Coronas in cans and I drank 5 of them and had two sloppy Joes and some sort of wrap. Apparently 6-packs of beer for the fridge were $20 each plus a 15% service fee plus a tip...wow..good thing my friends company footed the bill.

That blows...but it's better than getting colon cancer..
