Finally Convinced Someone to Run w/Me


It was just a wet and dim day, but it was a good run for a lunch break! We started out with a few hills to warm up and then quickly realized that drivers really didn't give a hoot about runners today!

We felt like the kids in this video...

Moreover, we never asked to be splashed today! That's it and Kara says she will run some hill repeats with me next time!


Gotta run,
Chris

Slow and Painful Run for a Sunday


Managed to get in 30-miles for the week and for a Sunday run these last 7-miles were the worst! Spent most of the first and part of the second mile responding to an email. Have you ever tried typing on a BlackBerry while running?

Right from the start I had a "I don't want to run" attitude. Must be all the pizzas, beer, soda, and ice cream I woofed down while playing Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox LIVE!



Back to MW2,
Chris
