AM-Speed workout consisting of 30 sec on at about VVo2 pace, and then 30 sec off at about half intensity. One mile easy in between for a little over 4 miles total.  Very tough workout especially as it got towards the end.  Short cool down and some walking afterwards.  7 miles total.

I think I'm starting to bounce back from that meat grinder of a race on the 24th. 

 PM-4 miles easy jogging.

Easy 8 miles at noon.-  Bored of the usual route so I went down into Old Midvale area and around taking the scenic route.  One of those meditative runs I guess.

You know I was thinking about some things that have happened in the media lately and in life.  Has anyone but me noticed a lack of intolerance really growing at an exponential rate lately?  Any more I see a trend consisting of people incapable or just plain unwilling to get along with their fellow man/woman whatever and especially in the common everyday public arena.  Example; Just the other day I saw someone literally screaming at the top of their lungs just because the poor fellow in front of them was having car problems and could not turn in time at a green light. Jeez!  Is it the stress of the poor economy? Or maybe do you blame the rise of social networking via the internet and it's impersonal influence..  I hear people all the time say how they reached out to so and so on Facebook and how I should get on it also...  Really?   Your telling me that you "reached out" to someone on a computer website?   Wow,  maybe I'm getting old and out of touch but the last time I "reached out to someone" was when I went to their house and visited them or we went out somewhere and had real face to face interaction.   So much for texting..   By the way I refuse to text anyone or even receive a text for that matter. Just ask my daughter. LOL!   I know, These new formats I understand have some advantages but maybe it has just been taken too far I believe.   I don't know..   Out.

Yes, I know I'm bored today but I wanted to practice my writing skills and pass some time this afternoon.    Anyway, it's time to get back to washing dishes.  Oh joy..

 

PM-Easy 4 miles. 7th out and back.

AM-Easy 6 miles with strides up a short hill this morning.  Concentrated on stride mechanics and running more relaxed.   The workout felt decent so maybe I'll start doing a  few more 8-10 runs starting tomorrow.   Scratch that.. I meant today:)

PM-Medium 10 miler with 5 miles at around 6-6:10/mi/ pace.  The body is telling me it's ok now to start putting some more miles in the bank.  Not very hot today compared with last year. But how long will it hold?

I was horrified to wake up this morning and  saw that I had accidentally left out a word on my blog title, instead it "A man has got to his personal limitations"  Oooh.. that doesn't sound right at all.  So I went in and changed it to read "A man has got to know his limitations."  I'ts a famous line from a movie with Clint Eastwood aka Dirty Harry.  

I may not get my miles in today but I'm thinking of taking the kids to the park and then maybe running in circles on the grass open area until I get an hour and a half or more.  I can just imagine the looks..  

Kids wanted to do something else today so I took a goose egg and thats ok because I haven't taken a day off this week anyway.
