Running with Animals

A HE FAT possible adventure....
Strap on that Safari hat and get ready to run.


I must be losing my mind to even be considering this.....A Half Marathon that goes through part of Wild Animal Park......Sounds fun and yet maybe grueling......
Running with animals......I hope they don't let the cheetahs loose.....

Running through the Winter

It is getting colder.......(for Southern California that is)....
It is getting darker earlier...(damn you Daylight Savings)...
It is the time of year  when the pumpkins have already rotted on the porch  and been tossed in the trash . All the goblins and ghouls have gone back into their boxes until next Halloween.   Christmas decorations are already in the stores....and it is SO HARD to get motivated to keep up running.


It is so easy to just sleep in a little longer and instead of getting up and running on Saturday morning when the rest of the family is still in bed to just curl up in that  comfortable blanket for another hour.  It is so much easier to just crawl under the sheets and watch all those Shows  that are filling up the DVR.   It is so easy to just quit....to just shut it down for the winter and start eating a little extra everyday for the winter hibernation.    It is no fun running as the sun sets and old folks are out walking their Yorkshire Terriers in their red sweaters  (the dogs that is)......


My normal 6 mile runs have turned into the shorter route 4.4 mile runs...I'm still getting up and doing it but the motivation is slipping.
For awhile I felt like my day wasn't complete until I had run...now I have to force myself to slide on those shoes and get out there.........Listen to your inner Yoda and fight through the winter depression.....

A Virtual running Update: Part 2

Charting  my run on Yahoo Maps and track my progress running up the coast until I get to the Candian Border.    As of today I'm about 10 miles away from a little town called Brookings Oregon    I'll keep track as I move my way up the coast (Virtually that is).
