Wow...2 blog posts in one day. I had to tell you that I had my very first rain run...that's right kiddies...I ran outside in the rain. It was great!!! I mean, honestly it was a little unnerving at first as I thought the potential was definately there for me to slip while running and kill myself, but after the first few minutes I realized that wasn't going to happen and it was really neat. Now, I'll be honest...it was a light rain shower. Had it been pissing down I probably would have been like...So I ran in the rain today and it sucked ass!!! But instead it didn't suck ass at all.
Here's the deets...
Warmup - .64 miles - run/walk - approx. 5 min
Run - 3.13 miles - 9:25/mile - 29:30
Cooldown - .64 miles - walk - 9 mins
Some of the tunes from today included...
Queens of the Stone Age - Song for the Dead (8 mins of great rock guitar and drums)
Beck - Earthquake Weather, Sexx Laws
Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley - Welcome to Jamrock
Chemical Bros. f/ Q-tip - Galvanize (actually this came up on the playlist the other day, but is worth mentioning)
k-os - B boy stance
Milli Vanilli - Girl You Know It's True (just kidding, but I wish it had played, I love that song)
It's funny where you get your motivation to run from sometimes. Today I was planning on hitting the gym due to the rain, but had to come home to close a window and thought it would kill my motivation and I would end up skipping my run today, but when I was on my way out of the office I yelled "smell ya later" to Jacob and he said "Enjoy the run". I said yeah right and left, but then thought about it on the drive home and decided I should run...I mean what happens if I get to Honolulu and it's raining and I have to run in the rain...I better be prepared. So anyway, normally I would thank Jacob for such motivation, but he's also the one who showed up to work today with a box of donuts, you know the mini kind covered in icing sugar...now there's motivation...so that cancels out the thanks...sorry buddy!
Smell ya later.
Will
