Dave & Mike Go Running

April 30- Short run on this day, wasn’t feeling motivated. I had started smoking, I don’t know why, but I quit again
and hope through the grace of GOD, I will never start again. It is a very addictive habit.

Ok, since my last run on April 6 I’ve done JACK. I ran once out here for 3 miles and once in Arizona with my brother
-in- law for an intense 2.5 miler with the sun directly overhead and not prepared for most of a p90x workout in the
middle of it. Brutal! Anyway, I’ve been on vaction for 2 weeks and haven’t done much, but I’m back now and am ramping
it up to see how far I can go.

I ran into an awesome problem today: I wanted to tweet something without telling some of my business followers that I had a rat at my home. Then I remembered… I built my own social network! Yea! D&M serves the purpose just fine.

So:
I’m having a tough time with something… Help me find exactly which part is untrue:

1. I started smoking (long story).
2. While smoking, I was looking for satellites in the Dallas Sky. I spotted a couple and asked my wife to me out and see. When she did, we saw 2 rats crawling along the power lines. Of course Abby freaked out and I swore they were actually possum. As if my long tailed, beady eyed dopplegangers would have been any better than seeing actual rats exit my home on a cable network.
3. Wifey is at a concert tonight, Bon Jovi.
4. While wifey was rocking it to big hair, I was enjoying a smoke as if it were religion itself. While out looking for the same satellite that passed over my house at 9:24 PM CST on Thursday and Friday, I saw it… Not just a rat, but a fracking family of them. They actually went and met on the cable line as if they were having communion: sniffing each other out, bowing the head, and taking a bit to eat.
5. I went running today.

April 6- Ran a mile cause of time constraints, but plan on a 4 miler tomorrow in Wilmington. I over-dressed today
and it made me almost pass-out. It is time to start dressing lighter.

April 2- Ran 3 miles at Heidecke Lake, it went well as i’m beginning to feel more relaxed and my runs are becoming enjoyable.

Put on the 20lbs weight vest and mowed the lawn, it took 1:08. My heart-rate monitor said I burned 1100 calories, but
I doubt it. Anyway it was great, I will continue mowing my grass like that from now on.

The 3 miles at Heidecke Lake went well, had to walk some of it, but at least I’m feeling like a runner again. Presently
looking for a 5k to boost motivation, then a 10k after that and finally in the fall I’ll run a Half-Marathon somewhere.

March 27- Ran a nice mile today just needed something to take the edge off and open the lungs. Plan on a 3 miler
at the Heidecke Lake access on Jugtown Rd. tomorrow. It should be nice!
