I just got finished with a great weekend. Did some yard work, completed both of my long workouts, played outside with Bryce and Jessi, and even had time to go to a dinner party. My long run last night was probably the most miserable long run of all time. It wasn't physically hard, I felt great the entire time, I just really didn't want to be doing it. I just wanted to be home hanging out with the family and watching "ming ming tuck" (Wonderpets).
I spent almost the entire run thinking about how I'd rather be doing this, or that I wanted to do that, before finally realizing in the last few miles that I had to remain present, patient, and enjoy what was going on at the time. I wasn't out running for the fun of it, the run had a purpose and was scheduled several months ago. Even when I'm not doing exactly what I would like, my life is pretty good and I should always be aware of that.
*** Saturday afternoon I rode my bike trainer for 3 hours and 20 minutes. I rode moderately hard the entire time, going to harder gears and smashing during commercial breaks. It was incredibly boring, but when else can you watch this much t.v. and not feel lazy.
*** Sunday night I ran 10.4 miles in 1:41:XX. I ran another almost half mile without my Garmin turned on (My rate of equipment operator error is incredible) so I won't count it.
I am going to try and get in 2-3 two-a-day workouts this week and see if that helps either my energy level (which has been dragging a bit lately) or time management skillz. I am also in negotiations with Jessi to have her take me to Alabama this weekend, drop me off, and let me ride my bicycle back home (she seems to think of this as a strange request).
Later.
Danny.

I will drive you to Alabama. I may not understand, but if you need it, then I will do it. Maybe you can get one of those kiddie seats for the back of your bike and let Bryce ride with you. Resistance and weight training are good, right? Jessi
