After remaining sedentary for 9 straight hours, I figured it would be good to get up off my a$$ and get serious about this running thing today. It is no secret what the title of this post means and it was true to form today. The first 15 minutes of the run felt pretty good. Time went by fast to start. I had some good music and I felt like I was covering ground. My legs and lungs felt good and at this point I was digging my decision to go for run.
At 15:01 the honeymoon was over. My stomach started to hurt and I had to put the jake brake on. I lumbered through to 30 minutes with the same feelings in my gut and legs, but magically things started to feel good again. At that point I set the goal for the day at a 45 minute jog and at my pace, should have put me somewhere between 4.5-5 miles. The track today was simply around our neighborhood in Shakopee, nothing too scenic, but it beats staring at my girlish figure in the mirror at the community center.
Here are some random thoughts from today's run.
1) I watched the caged heat at the women's prison play softball and couldn't help but wonder if Mikey "Double-Down" Peters (Jon Favreau's character in Swingers) could mess up getting some action in that joint.
2) One by Metallica may be the greatest Guitar Hero song ever.
3) Most people probably think it is too cold out, but running in this weather is a husky guy's dream.

Is it wrong that I get the same feelings from your 45 min run, with my 45 stair step routine? The first 15 steps I feel like a champ. But after that...
Oh and Mikey would screw that up.
