I will be fast, I will beat my marathon PB twice in '10
I will be fast, I will be strong. I will beat my marathon PB at least twice in 2010 Yes, it is going to be hard work, and diligence with the diet, and a new found respect for sleep! But I will do it. Pain is so bearable. Well, some pain :) |

Sub 20 minute 5k
Finally, the monkey is off my back. 19:55 for 5k, what's next... |
|
Still no sub 20 5k
It's time. If not this weekend, then maybe next weekend at my first cross country outing for Ontario Masters. This weekend is the Hannukah Hustle. Weather looks good. Lets\'s hope the fitness level is there. Pain, on the way! |

Running Weather revisited
A great quote I recently heard...Don’t wait for perfect weather. to go for a run... If you do, you won’t run very often! |
|
Running weather
The greatest Running Weather has finally arrived. Looking forward to some cottage runs too! |
|
Spring has Sprung
I know we shouldn't get too excited but Spring has Sprung and it is nice to be running in shorts again. |
|
Bring on the spring
I can live with the cold - but I am not looking forward to the thaw and slush! As many of you know, I do not complain much about winter. I run in all kinds of weather, and haven't had an issue with the temperatures or running in snow, and such. But I have a feeling that as this crap all melts, I am going to be bummed with the wetness and gigantic puddles that are about to start appearing everywhere! Yuck. |

Song of the Day - Nov 19
Song of the day - As heard on Californication a few episodes ago. A cover of ELO's Do ya, by Neil Nathan In this life Ive seen everything I can see woman, Ive seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand Ive seen babies dancing in the midnight sun, And Ive seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above Ive seen old men crying at their own grave sides And Ive seen pigs all sitting watching, picture slides But I never seen nothing like you. Chorus Do ya do ya want my love Do ya do ya want my face Do ya do ya want my mind Do ya do ya want my love Well i, heard the crowd singin out of tune, As they, sat and sang auld lang syne by the light of the moon I heard the preachers bangin on the drums, And I heard the police playin with their guns But I never heard nothin like you. In the country where the sky touches down On the field, she lay her down to rest In the morning sun, They come a runnin' just to get a look, just to Feel to touch her long black hair they dont give a damn Chorus -- repeat Well I think you know what Im trying to say woman, That is Id like to save you for a rainy day, Ive seen enough of the world to know, That Ive got to get it all to get it all to grow. |

Band of the Day - Nov 17
Forgotten great song of the day: 'School' by Supertramp. Great Band, outdated maybe, still great. |

Marathon Training keeps you healthy
2 headaches in 3 days. Not drinking enough water. Training for marathons reminds me to hydrate properly which I have not done so in this current downtime. Need to get back into it! :) |

Work
I need to win the lottery |

Bad music at the dentist
I was just at the dentist. I don't know what station they had on but I wanted the music to stop more than the drilling! |

We're heading out not to St Lawrence Market. It's been a while, I am hungry. This will be fun! |
|
Taebo
I thought TAEBO classes were supposed to be hard. But alas, not when you're in shape! OK, it was DVD one, from Billy Banks. I was the only one in the class not sweating. People were like, Dave, what's up with you?  |
|
My friend Nir
My friend Nir ran his second marathon...almost beat me! He did awesome. Nir ran his 2nd marathon, the first one being about 4 years ago. He has been running a lot since then but mostly half marathons. He trained well and was hoping to runa 3:45 which would be a great improvement of 23 minutes over his previous 4:08. Instead, he cooked it and ran 3:36:50 a whopping 32 minute improvement! Way to go Nir! |

Of Monsters and Heroes and Men
I can't stop listening to James' album Hey Ma - In particular 'Of Monsters and Heroes and Men'. Get it. Listen to it. Brilliant. Go...Now!!! Stray cats with fish heads Feeding their litters Feral kids fight Over rats tailed from gutters Bookie mouth brokers Rotten fruit sellers Pickpockets ghost through the crowd He climbs onto boxes By market stall traders Toothless and grey haired Thousand yard stare He had a vision Which broke the receiver Receiving transmission Surface to air Either way. I’m in awe of you Either way. We’ll survive. We’ll survive Conjuring devils, Angels and demons Only the children see shape to his tone Laughing and crying His song fell upon us We buried his treasure along with the bones Arms held aloft A Y to the sky Innocent witness He testified Drained of his purpose He falls off the quayside Absorbed by the ocean Rolled by the tide Either way. I’m in awe of you. Either way. We’ll survive. Either way. I’m in awe of you. Either way. We’ll survive. We’ll survive. Under the power lines Which crackle and sparkle Under the freeway Now mostly rubble The hungry still gather To fill up with stories Of monsters and heroes and men Under the stars Which prick us and call us Connect us to hope That perfection’s within is Here on the ground We’re reckless and hopeless Damned by the slip of a pen Rambling poets Manic with vision We are the drivers yet we feel driven Moths in the moonlight Fooled by a flashlight Caught in a jam jar Gasping for air Rambling poets Manic with vision We are the drivers yet we feel driven Moths in the moonlight Fooled by a flashlight Caught in a jam jar Gasping for air Either way. I’m in awe of you. Either way. We’ll survive. We’ll survive |

Groove
It's officially been declared: Groove is, in fact, in the heart. I heard this song on the radio, walked around all day singing it. Pretty much until Anita was ready to hit me! But really, it is true, Groove is in the heart. |
