Hangin' Loose

Been a busy week and last weekend was too.  Working 5 12hr shifts this week.  With the bad weather I opted to going and playing hoop instead of running out in it.  Had a great time and played 2 hrs.  At least 1 hr of it was only half court so it was nice to work on some D and in close quarters.:)  But was able to play the whole time too.  Will have to try and get in a longer run tonight after work.  These days are just so long.  And looks like I am not getting bumped out of my area.  So I am happy about that.  But not holding my breath.

AM- Needing to get with the program.  So started back up doing the Fit-cards again. So had time today to get in 16 of them today.  My shoulder has been sore for the last little while.  So kind of verred away from the closer push-ups and staggered ones.  Rest all felt fine.

PM- Got home and Kristi still had the cub scouts over.  So opted to skip the run and just hit Weds Night Bball again.  Had a great time doing it.  Was on a better team tonight and we were doing pretty good.  So played alot longer ended up finishing at mid-night.  So 3 hrs of play.  Getting in some good cross training.

Got out with Pete this morning for a run.  Was around 19 degrees and the fog was very thick.  I was opting not to run in it due to the air quality.  I am just hoping it didn't do to much damage.  You could taste the pollution in the air.  Yuck.  So cut it to just 4 miles.  Got a bball game tomorrow and I think  I will wait a bit after it to get in a long run.

Also on the way home from work last night.  The fog was really thick and it looked like someone was hit on a sidewalk by a gas station.  Kind of freaked me out seeing it.  So made sure to wear bright colors if you going out in this horrible stuff.

Mile 1 8:50

Had another bball game this morning.  We played pretty good.   And it was a close game.  We ended up winning by 2.:)  So this time I decided to wait a few hrs before going for my run.  And headed out about 4 hrs later after a nap.  And felt pretty good about it.  First 2 miles were around 9 min and then kicked it up to 8:35 for the next 4 then 2 miles at 8:00 and last slowed it back down.

TT 1:19:00  

Feeling good about the race next weekend.  Should do alright.  No PR by no means.  But this one isnt a goal race.  More of just one I need to do to get the series done for SG.
