Week Number Twenty

Week Number 20 ( April 27th > May 3rd )

Sunday April 27th

Took the dogs down to the river for an early morning walk and the weather is perfect. Then come back and start on the yard. Mow, trim, and blow. Cut some more trees down and cut and stack firewood.

Emily stayed out in the yard with me most of the morning but Abigail likes to stay inside with the A/C.

Took the dogs to the river again late afternoon for another nice long walk, then head to Barbados Blvd. Abigail fell asleep on the way over and it's just a short trip?

Push them in the stroller at a run for 1 mile ,then walk 1/2 mile, then run another 1.5 miles and walk it off for a 1/2 mile.

Emily had to get out several times and try to run w/me. She did more than a few 1/4 mile intervals. I could hear her chipmunk squeal over the noise of my headphones. That's how she lets me know she's ready to get out and boogie! Abigail just sits still in the stroller the whole way.

They are both wore out and sleeping on my bed right behind me as I type. Getting ready to join them!

Monday April 28th

Two close ones?

Got home from work and took the girls down to the river for their daily walk, then rush home to drop some politicians off at the cess pool. It was so bad I had to give myself as well as the girls a courtesy flush!

Head out to Barbados Blvd and load the girls up in the stroller and took off. Got about a 1/4 mile out and it started to rain.

But that wasn't enough....my bowels started campaigning again?

I quickly turned around for a mad dash back to the minivan!

I didn't even make it 1/4 mile in the mini and had to pull over.

Needless to say.....I had to go "Commando" again!.......on the side of the road leaned up beside the mini.

OK......let's call it a 1/4 mile run with a 1/4 mile sprint today!

Maybe I'll work out on the Total Trainer instead!

Tuesday & Wednesday

Just can't seem to get motivated to run? Been busy after work etc.

Excuses excuses!!!!

Thursday May 1st

Had to make myself get off my lazy ass and try to run today! Walked the girls at the river as usual. Miss Civil walked with us and it was her turn to have the girls, so I had to give them up to her for the week.

Go to Barbados Blvd run 1/2 mile, walk 1/2 mile, run 1 mile, then walk 1/2 mile.

That's all I could muster. Just feel weak?

Friday May 2nd

Had to make myself run again? I din't know what's wrong with me?

Go to Barbados Blvd Run 1.5 miles, walk 1/2 mile.

I have to go in and work some overtime this weekend. That's better for my health and wallet than goin' out and gettin' drunk! I don't think I've gotten over the two drunks I pulled last week yet?

Saturday May 3rd

Worked some overtime today and I'm scheduled to work tomorrow if it doesn't rain us out.

Went to Barbados and run 1/2 mile, walk 1/2 mile, run 1.5 miles, walk 1/2 mile.

Come home and debone about 10 pounds of chicken that have been cooking in the crock pot for almost 6 hours. Got the dogs a stash saved in the freezer.

Total for the week 8 miles run , 3.5 miles walked
