Kinda consistently running since 07

Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter.  The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance.  Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters.

Personal:

I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities.

Time trial.  7:00 pace.  My goal for this run was 3 in under 21.  My I-hope-I-can-get-away-with-it goal was under 20.  I was an overachiever and did it in 21:01.  I can't even blame the wind or weather as the night was calm and relatively cool.  But I can blame something.  When I think of it, I'll post it.

2120; 77 F; hazy; calm winds

p90x yoga.  I was able to freestyle.  All of the poses that were supposed to be static.  I made them dynamic.  Mostly by adding windmilling my arms and falling.

p90x abs from memory, plus and minus a couple exercises.

Aseel didn't line the floor with napkins today.  I wonder why.  Maybe the ab workout pushed her to the point of not caring anymore.

Spin afterward = 1 step forward

Extra spaghetti and apple pie = 2 steps back

10:11 pace.

2145; 88 F; hazy; 7mph winds; 22% humidity.

Decided to take Todd's advice and do hills.  Since there aren't any hills here, I ran on the treadmill.  Or tried to.  I did my easy run first and then went to the treadmill to try something I read.  10 sec hill sprints, starting with 2 after an easy run.  Long story short.  Treadmill is broken.  We have more but I was too chicken to try again.

Aseel stopped using paper towels because we started using mats.  Then I told her that the mats were as dirty as the floor.  I couldn't help it.  I'm a stinker.

I spent all day evaluating contractors’ proposals for their ability to do a project.

Some highlights:

- One had “saloon car” under their list of equipment.  We have no idea what they meant to say.

- Scoop of work

- Engineering Collage

- Letter of recommendation from Lt Colonel Sherrel Crow

- Address on a resume was simply “near railway”

- Resume which listed “internet – excellent” under their skills heading

I wonder what hiring managers say about my resume…

Slept in and missed breakfast

I underestimated how much the heat would affect me and ran a minute/mile slower than planned.  I've run at night at the same temperature, but the sun seems make it worse.  Maybe it's just in my head.

A bunch of curls.   I didn't care for this much.   I didn't feel like bringing it, so I left it at home.
