June 5, 2009

Great day today. Weekend is near, just got to knock out a few deliverables. One of which was another run. Luckily it is done - ran 4.25 miles.

On the backside of the work week, ready to roll into Friday. Managed to complete a 4 mile run to start the day but am ready to hit the weekend hard. Good news - shoes hit the 500 mile point and cushioning is still there. Let's start the countdown when the joints and feet start reminding me to replace the shoes.

Nice and cool morning. Ran 3.25 miles to closeout the workouts for the week. Did break away to Denison Dam last night for a chance at Striped Bass. Slow action with three strikes in four hours! Lost all three but they would have been keepers. Better luck next time.

Joy for joy, it is Friday. Work do be done, places to go, things to see. Managed to complete a 4.1 mile run to start the day. Now, bearing down on knocking out deliverables. Extremely motivated today. Not sure why, other than data snapshot do not require much thinking. Perfect for a Friday!

PS: Shoes are working out well and still have cushioning. No knee joint pains yet. Last set of shoes made it to the 500 mile mark but "died" soon after. Want to see how long this pair will last.
