Saturday December 18th 2010

Pretty much the whole week was a wash. I was lazy and did not do anything.I know this is going to hurt my progress, but I just decided not to do anything.

Enough about the week of lost work on to my Saturday. I was suppose to wake up and go running, but I could not wake up. So, I did some work on the side job. Later, that night Mike and his family came over for a little Christmas dinner. They brought a pumpkin pie, but forgot the whip cream. So, I figure Mike and I should go to the store and pick some up. I thought about taking the car, but Mike had other plans. He went to the restroom and came out dressed ready to run. I did not want to go for a run. I took a week off. this was not the way to jump back on the wagon, but I got dressed and we headed out. The run was fine until we hit Buckner Rd. There was not any room to run on the side of the street, so every time a car was headed towards us we had to get over into the grass. We we finally got to a point were we could run on the street and I was exhausted. Now I am regretting that week off. WE get closer to the light at 31 and I make a suggestion to get the Whip cream from the gas station on the corner, but Mike does not want to spend $2 more at the gas station versus Kroger, so we keep moving. We hit the light and sprint across the intersection so we catch the green light. We make it to Kroger and get what we need and head back to the house. At this time, I hated Mike, well I guess I hated myself, because this run would not have been so bad, if  I did not take that week off. As we hit the area where we run in the grass I am dead tired. My legs just want to give out on me, but we keep tracking forward through the grass. At this point my foot gets caught in a hole and I go down. I didn't hurt anything, but I just jarred my joints. Thank baby Jesus that we were close to my street. Once we hit the Sutherland, we decided to run form the entrance to my house. I pushed through it and made it to the house. It was a good(horrible) run, I haven't felt that bad in a while, but I am glad we did it. It put me back on track, but I still hated it.

Thanks, Mike!!!
