For use when I really don’t have time to figure out to what category the post should belong.
Checked the weather – no rain in the forecast. I’ve had a cup of coffee, so I am awake. I’ve read my horoscopes and they have indicated no danger so it’s safe to step outside. Yup, going for a run. You all behave while I’m out there pounding the pavement and dirt.
After the run I am slated to make breakfast for Tine. Yes, yes. I know. I’m spoiling her. It’s the only way I can ensure that she spoils me in return. It’s mutual spoilage.
Okay, that didn’t sound right. But trust me, our relationship works.
Followed, of course, by a walk. To the stats!
Yup. That’s right. It was a fine, mist of a snow fall this morning as I ran. Here are the stats, and map.
My alarm went off at 4:30 AM because I had the intention of going for a run this morning. However, my body made it clear that wasn’t going to happen. And the worse part of this whole situation is that it’s raining! I love running in the rain. Anyway, now the plan is to run after I get home. I’ve got my fingers crossed that it’ll still be raining.
My phone messed up again today. I was about 4 tenths of a mile from home when it put Runtasic on pause. You can see the gap on the map. I actually ran all the way back to the house. Anyway, my phone has been acting up a lot. The screen locks up for minutes at a time, drops Blue Tooth connection on a regular basis, and generally runs like crap. So I went to T-Mobile and got myself a new phone. Turns out all those runs in the rain, not to mention my perfuse sweating, cause water damage to my old phone. So I decided on the iPhone Xs, which is water resistant.
A couple of new records today: The fastest 10 K (1:12:50)and the most calories burned (1603). I didn’t try to establish any new records. I didn’t even pay attention to the pace. I just chose a route and ran comfortably. My heart rate did hit 210, but that was at the steepest part of the trail at the 5.88-mile mark. And it was just a quick spike, nothing extensive.
I want to thank everyone for the Happy Birthday wishes I received. It was nice. Tina took me to the Buffalo House, and we had Broasted Chicken which was terrific. We managed to get a table despite it being full, and there being a party of 22 and a party of 6 waiting when we got there.
This is what I see from my office window. When I need a break I just push back and look to the right.
I should be reading and completing a quick assignment for one of my classes, and instead, I’ve been surfing Facebook and playing chess. But, that’s enough of that, time to get to work.
Me, not you.
Sheesh.
Update: Okay, okay. I successfully avoided school work avoidance. My assignment due Friday night at 5 to midnight has been completed and turned in. Now get off my back about it. And get off my lawn!
