What was I thinking?

I've been running on the treadmill after work because it has been to hot for me outside.  But I was bored of the treadmill so I ran on the BST at 4:30 after work.  It was a furnace that I wasn't used to.  I started at 22nd street and ran south 4.5 miles and came back.  I won't do that for awhile in the middle of the day.

Long run day.  Didn't want to go outside on the trails after last Mondays run in the heat so I did the whole run on the treadmill at work.  It was one of my better 20 milers. 

The movie A Knights Tale was entertaining and kept my mind occupied but Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was was way too slow except for the ninja parts. 

I started counting my steps at mile 5 and continued all the way to mile 20.  Sometimes I wonder if there is something wrong with me.  I can tell how far I've gone just by my way of counting steps.  I could run on the treadmill without a watch or watchng the display and know almost exactly how far I've run.  I can't wait for the days to be cooler again.

I'm sick with something so I cancelled my dentist appointment this afternoon.  And then I thought, hey, I have time to run during lunch since I don't feel well enough to go to the dentist.

My plan said ten so I went ten.  Running felt good, but now my throat feels worse.  I'd better go see the doc tomorrow.

Intended to do twenty on the Riverdale/Ogden River Parkway.  At mile 16 my body fell apart: right and left knee IT band, bruised right foot, groin.  I had to stop and walk the rest of the four miles back to where I had parked my car.  I was worried I wouldn't make it back.  It may have been because I was sick last week.  Very frustrating.

My knees and foot felt better today so I decided to run after work on the work treadmill.  I changed my clothes and walked over to where the treadmills are only to find a group of auditors camped out in the area next to the treadmill.  It took away my motivation because I wouldn't be able to run on the treadmill but would have to run outside. 

I walked to my car in the parking lot wondering what I should do.  Run on the home treadmill, run in my neighborhood, or run on the river trail.  I decided to run on the river trail and take the heat like a man.  Turned out to be a OK run.

The B.R.A.T. (Bike Run and Toob) is coming up on Friday afternoon.  If anyone would like to participate or check it out it starts at 11:30 a.m. at the Riverdale frisbee golf course parking lot.  Bring a bike and a tube.  Free Johnsonville Brats and drinks.

We held our annual B.R.A.T. (Bike Run And Toob) this afternoon at the Riverdale Parkway / Weber River.  The bikers have a great course through the trees and brush that runners like me can't keep up with them.  A lot of fun regardless.  I stayed back with my boss because he was more fun to be with than the spandex bikers. 

After the great bike ride(no injury to myself this year), we ran with our toobs down the Riverdale Parkway to the Riverdale Kayak Rapids on the Weber River.  We toobed down the rapids and cooled off in the river.  We then ran back to the finish line where we ate bratwurst and drank soda.  The run is only approximately 1.5 miles so the advantage goes to the bikers.

Anyway, after work I still needed to do a tempo run so I ran 9 on the treadmill.  Warm up, 7 mile at tempo pace and 1 mile cool.  Felt good even after eating two brats at the BRAT.

Evening run down to the "cougar" trail.  Ran past two deer in two different locations.  Nice evening.
