What started out as a "hey let's actually do a real run" turned into a 14 mile haul tonight...sort of an accident, but in the middle, I stopped by Megan's and watched Without a Paddle...which is actually pretty funny....call me crazy, but I think that Dax Shephard (is that his name) is actually a pretty funny bastard. He reminds me of this dude I used to work with @ Sears named Chad. whatever happened to chad? Must consult myspace/google on that one.
So this long run made me decide to pack on some additional gear in the form of the water belt I haven't used since last summer. It seems I forgot about how that fucking thing cuts the shit out of my hips lest I don some body glide. So I'm sitting here with some major gashes in my hips...post major painful shower (holy shit does that sting). Note to self: STOCK UP ON BODY GLIDE.
In all honesty though, that felt like a really good run. Sure my feet feel like total shit, but I got through it just fine. No aches on the run, all is well there. Good sign considering tri season is upon us and I have some marathons slated within the next 12 months.
I've also decided next year I'm going to graduate from doing olympic distance triathlons to Half Iron-Mans. I'd do the full Iron man but, well shit...that's gonna require some major cut back on drinking and well, I got my 30's to do some as silly as that! In the meantime, Steel head in Michigan is looking good, and there's a half in Racine Wi that looks pretty good.
the maiden voyage on the road bike on saturday ended with me deciding I know fuck all about maintaining/tuning my bike. So it got sent off to Kozy's where a bike tech that resembles The Dude moreso than any other person I've met tuned the thing like a dream. Unfortunately, my computer doesn't work. I was at a loss for this until I realized the battery in the reciever was probably dead (we're wireless here folks)...said battery is not quite a AAA so it's some fucked up size I'll have to visit walgreens to obtain. Well I guess I know what i'm doin for lunch tomorrow!
In other news, I'm going to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Friday. And shut the fuck up...of course I'm sneaking a flask or five into it. What, you think I'm some kinda geek?
