Punk's Not Dead

The truth is, when it comes to punk rock, you have to be honest. Johnny Cash is probably every bit as 'punk' (even more-so) than Sid Vicious. Iggy Pop and Patty Smith are real-life founders and iconic (still productive) reps of a musical movement that is nearly 40 year old. Unlike other era related sounds, even the fashion remains fresh; as long as you aren't trying to buy it at the mall (Hot Topic, etc).

Ran out at Vista View (aka the trash heap today). Legs were a bit tired from yesterday, but ran pretty strong at times. I was happy to get 900' of elevation gain too.

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.

The State of the Union

Run - easier/recovery - 1:01:00 - 7.2 miles - 8:28 pace - 119 avg hr

very tired today - probably should have taken a rest day - I just cruised easy

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.
