Murder at the Juice Joint...

Once again, I've been negligent to the blog, and for that I appologize. I do have to tell you though I have been running, and I've also been very busy. I'd like to tell you about my Friday night...it was really cool...I was at a birthday party for my friend Shelly and it just happened to be one of those murder mystery parties (it was called Murder at the Juice Joint). Anyhow, at first I was a little reluctant thinking it was going to be a little on the lame side, but I was wrong...good times indeed. My character was the private detective...I sucked and guessed the wrong person as the killer...but still had a great time!!!

Saturday was my long run day and I ran for only 8km (45 minutes) as it was my first long run since getting sick and I didn't want to push it anymore than that. Here's the deets...
Indoor - treadmill - inline of 2
Warmup - 10 mins .85 miles
Run - 45 mins - 4.8 miles (just under 8km)
Cooldown - 10 mins - .7 miles

Sunday was a rest day...actually I went for a really nice (but bitterly cold) walk with Amy. We didn't make it too far as it was somewhere around -17 celcius with the wind, but we did walk for a few kms. Amy has started running again, so when the weather gets nicer I think she'll be running with me a lot more than now...which is never...so that'll be awesome!!! Of course Sunday night my team (the Colts) beat the Pats in what was probably the best second half of a football game I've ever watched to make it to the superbowl next weekend...woo hoo!!!

Yesterday it was back to the gym as the city works department in Belleville really sucks at clearing the snow from the sidewalks. Actually I don't think I can blame them entirely...it's up to the home owners to clear the snow in front of their houses isn't it...I do it...perhaps I'm just a sucker. The bottom line is the sidewalks are too snowy and icey to run on and running on the road in Belleville is probably more dangerous than a lot of other really dangerous things that I can't think of right at this moment. Anyhow, here's the deets...
Warmup - 10 mins - .8 miles
Run - 35 mins - 3.75 miles (6km)
Cooldown - 10 mins - .7 miles

Here's some tunes from the past couple of runs...
Feist - Mushaboom (postal service remix)
Diddy f/ Xtina - Tell Me
Justin Timberlake - My Love (I know what you may be thinking, but I'm branching out with the training tunes...besides I'm married...I don't have to worry about being judged for listening to the "fruity ass" tunes)
Jurassic 5 - Concrete Schoolyard
The Postal Service - Such Great Heights

Oh, I almost forgot...that tortilla pie I made on Thursday turned out to be the most amazing thing I've ever cooked in my whole life...and that's not really saying much at all...but it was good.

This has gone on long enough. I'll holla back at ya later!
