I’m just runnnnnning
I managed another 5 km yesterday, running for speed. A fat man can have dreams.
This morning I woke up with Zero leg pain, other than the normal knee issues, which means I’m getting stronger in the running category. My initial goal is to run a 24 minute 5k. 10 years ago it was gravy, I could pull off a 21, but I was 40 pounds lighter and 10 years younger.
The scale hasn’t budged, I’m still over 245. Let’s be honest with ourselves…I ran 5 k, had 2 beers, 2 meat sticks and a muffin. I’m still up 500 calories just in the post 7 pm feed.
Dropped the kids off for school this morning and played chicken with a cyclist. I’m in the outside turning lane heading left and he is across the street opposite of me. Light turns green he signals that he is going to make the turn and goes super wide into my lane…
This guy is looking right at me…like right into my eyeballs…
He must have seen something, or came to his senses…he managed to get on his side of the road about 10 feet away from my bumper.
Don’t get me wrong…I bike. I also hate cyclists. The total disregard of traffic laws while expecting every one around you to follow the rules. donkeys.
Run a stop sign on a bike, get smoked by a car and blame it on the driver.. perfectly normal.
Anyway, let’s all try to stay out of the lane of oncoming traffic…please consider that 5000 lbs pickups aren’t fluffy pillows…
Poker tonight…I hope to have less than 100 bacon wrapped weaners tonight. I’m going to eat…guaranteed. but I’ll
try to stay under 10,000 calories.
let’s see…a photo…what do we have…
Beagle’s baseball team has had a great start this season with a couple big wins…then this…
I could make this stuff up, but no, it’s real life. So, no baseball for Beagle.
In other news, the firebird is coming apart nicely, I hope to build the body cart for it this week and really get down to business.
Last but not least, this past weekend marked the 10 year anniversary for the GBG. 10 years ago a group of strangers met on a soccer field in barhaven and are still at it today.
Many good times had and many more to come. Back by popular demand!!!! The Quote of the Day!
