The most wonderful time of the year
They are finally upon us, play-offs! Even though watching Kansas city not get a first down in the first half against the worst defense in the AFC was like having water torture. The Dallas Seattle game is a real battle. I am hoping for a Bill vs. Bill superbowl so I hope dallas wins but it is a tough row for them to hoe.
Last night was a Reggie Lewis workout in scenic roxbury where a girl who was struck by a hit and run driver closed tremont street for a while making it a little difficult for Christy and I to get to practice on time. The workout was pretty easy again but I think the crazy work week with the ot and pressure to get stuff out by the 5th made for a not so great effort. Just kind of flat the whole night. Flat warm-up, flat workout, flat cooldown.
It was a 800 800 1600 800 800 with 2.5 minutes rest in between and the 1/2's were supposed to be in 2:20 and 1600 in 4:46 but I was not quite there.
Here is the data:
800 2.21
2.26 rest
800 2.20
2.28 rest
1500 4.58
2.44 rest
800 2.27
2.32 rest
800 2.24
I am employing the "It's still early" modo and just taking what I can do with and building up my base. If this were to happen in three weeks I would be concerned.
Today was far and away my best day of January running. 62 degrees this morning in a nice winter rain for 44:35 with Christy Mae. 66 degrees this afternoon for 54:20 solo in the refuge. Felt great. There were a ton of people out and about this afternoon trying to make the best of the weather. Weird stuff I tell you for January 6th. I could stand more of it but I know better. I am sure the snow blower will be fired up soon.
Congratulations to "Anonymous" who got the first reference to the Carl Weathers quote in Happy Gilmore. I did enjoy that movie. Dan, you get second on the podium. Unfortunately, I have no real awards to dispense, but you get a "Caps Lock" CONGRATULATIONS!
Everyone please yell loud and root hard for my beloved Patriots tomorrow as they take on the Jets from New Jersey. It is the brady time of year so lets hope he can pull off some of that California golden boy do no wrong Brady magic. I am way to emotionally invested in a team I have no control over. I am hoping for one more week after this one and just love to read Ron Borges article after a win. I take pleasure in his misery.
I am going back to the Dallas Seattle game. Good night.
that's all I got
No it isn't.
GO PATS!!!
