Day 325, 40 To Go

November 21, 2013

I swear I change my mind about what I want to do in the new year every day.  Its like I am a Libra who can't make decisions, except that astrology is stupid and I'm a Virgo anyway.  That means I am perfect, in case you don't know your Astrological signs.  It also means that I don't get along with Libras.  Can you guess what sign Honey is?  Yeah, she is a Libra.  She can't make decisions either, so maybe there is something to this Astrology after all!!

Maybe I will run into Harry Potter the next time I visit England too.

Today, I have been thinking that maybe if I don't run every day, I can do some more cross training.  Specifically, I want to lift weights again.  I want to bike and swim too, but I want to build some strength again too.  I am now 41 which means that my body is beginning the rapid decline into uselessness, so one good way to halt the inevitable decline is to strengthen my body.  I should include a flexibility regiment into whatever I choose since a lack of flexibility is one of the major reasons older people injure themselves.

Martial arts is a great way to maintain flexibility, power and agility.  On top of that, you might even learn to kick someones ass!!  That could be fun.  As of today, I struggle to defeat my four children in the daily, impromptu wrestling match we engage in.  I'm pretty sure a moderately strong woman in a wheelchair could take me out in a fight today, so I have a long way to go.

Round and round my ideas go, where I stop depends on when the spinning makes me vomit.  Seriously, two spins and I am dizzy enough to fall down.  I think that is another symptom of aging.  Anyway, let's check out today's numbers before I segue into another topic:

Time: 30:00

Distance: 3.05 miles

Pace: 9:49/m

Max Pace: x:xx/m

Calories: 321

Avg HR: 126

Max HR: 139

Two days under 9 min seems to have tuckered me all out.  Today was a slow one.   My GPS said my max pace was 5:10 which I know is bogus.  I never even got close to going fast today.  I think my GPS is playing games with me.  Stop it GPS. Christmas is coming and I can easily replace you!!

Run for Life!!
