I’m running only 3 days/week right now. Averaging 15-25 miles. Experiencing something completely new to my running. I’ve put on hold the fire to get out and hit it 6-7 days/week, amassing miles towards some future shot at glory. It’s just not there for me right now.
I’m in Limbo!
My stint as Nurse Good Body still has a few weeks to go, I’m sticking by Linda’s side until she’s at least able to use her walking boot. But as for now I’m utilizing my training as Man Servant over the last 20 years. At least Linda appreciates it.
What I am able to do is work on maintaining my flexibility. Scratching the Yoga learning curve, nice to have an experienced yogi in the crib. Gently recruiting long dormant fibers, advancing into core searing positions, easing back down into relaxation. Wish I would have started this 20 years ago.
Cold Hands Warm Heart. The fire pit was the most popular spot after Saturday’s 2RT 10K. Plenty of friends, adult beverages, and our awards ceremony. Division winners were:
Best Costume: 3 way tie between AP Chemistry, Running Wild, and 2 for 6.2.
Best Team Name: Team U Below D. (Kurt & Jean Ubbelohde).
Fastest Couple Hard Times: Friends Without Benefits (Unless He Wants). Luka Thor (33:06) and Stacy Shaw (40:38). At least until next year they wear the crown of Nebraska’s Fastest Couple!
Fastest Mini Pede: Swansong. Carole Swanson and Bill Weeks.
Excuse my pride for recognizing that 9 of the top 9 finishers were Team Nebraska runners.
Pink Hands Green Race. I marked out the 10K route with Sidewalk Chalk. I was nearly covered with chalk dust and a few finger scrapes but just hours after our event you would never know we had been there. We have also moved to online registrations only, doing our part to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Be sure to check the race results page up top for the Psycho Wyco and Couples Therapy Run skinny. I’m trying to start a comprehensive list of race results for competitive, fundraising, and fun runs, please do submit your results link to me and I’ll post them up. Cupid’s Shuffle
Gory. We held a “Walking Dead” viewing party last night . It wasn’t the zombie blood and carnage that earns my most disgusting award though. It was afterwards and the brief and powerful images of Honey Boo Boo that had me cringing.
Homemade pizzas, yum! My dear sweet Katie and her new “man friend”, starting power forward for a local Catholic HS. Good kids all. Pie of the night was my Arugula, Goat Cheese, and Sundried Tomatoes.
