I can't explain my recent revisit to this Joy Division obsession, but I like it. Getting CLOSER with UNKNOWN PLEASURES. Hey, it works for me!

I wanted to run longer today but the wind/storm was turning this into a shit-show. Still a decent effort and I will follow it up with a longish run tomorrow.

A day of rest

The last couple of days have been sort of off (generally). Even though I did get a few workouts in, I really was not motivated. I feel okay but lazy and tired. I need to squeeze a long run or two in in the next couple of weeks as I try to at least semi-prepare for this marathon that I registered for. Maybe if I take a day off, I will be more motivated tomorrow. It could be that my body is talking to me. I just do not know...

a few hours later...
I could go run now, There is still time in the day, but I am going to rest and hopefully I will be re charged tomorrow and I will get out early. I will look at this as an experiment. I feel like a pussy, tho.

If you ever stop by, I think you know my opinion already. I'd love to hear your take on the good, the bad and the ugly.

Dr. King

Our nation is torn. Political parties are divided, women are still not embraced as equal and although race issues - have evolved - in certain places, the climate is still very unfortunate. Along the way however, greatness has emerged: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is remembered as an American hero who taught the citizenry to dream his dream; we currently have a black president but the masses, still struggle with equality. It remains a very long road, indeed. 

Today, I will reflect and be grateful for an important American holiday.

Run - 1:03:00 - 8.31 mi - 7.34 pace - 140 avg hr
decent run today with a little tempo pace (off a hard weekend)
