surprise surprise surprise...

(Tip of the Vancouver Canucks hat to Gomer, eh.)

Yesterday i was joined for my monday morning run by both sons. What a great way to start the week. Of course today i was met by abject indifference at work out time.

As i always say...baby steps.

wake up call

Got a pleasant surprise this morning when mini-me woke me up for a run. We went about two miles...increased my running splits by 30 seconds and didn't die. All in all a great start to our day.

He's got an ambitious summer program in mind. I hope we can stay on it.

thirsty thursday

You never know what sort of adventures await in VGFatboy land. Today, for example, we had the adventure of the dog who thought she should wet every blade of grass...followed immediately by fatty runs out of his shorts...on the FRONT STREET BRIDGE! I think only three cars came by at that exact moment. Anyway...we went 2.01 miles. After all the missteps we probably walked as much as we ran, but we were moving forward.

The mighty Sting fell to a good pitching Philo squad in their season opener. Too many little mental errors on D spelled the difference.

sweaty, finally

Went out at 5:30 today and the humidity had already kicked it up a notch. Cookie accompanied VGfatdog and I on our trot this morning...little bastard outsprinted me to the finish...wish i could say i let him win, but i was trying like hell and couldn't quite catch him. MMR says we went 2 miles. we walked quite a bit in the middle, but it was still good.

Work is interesting, to say the least. never a dull moment in college of nursing land.

great nite for a stroll

Took mrs fatboy, #1 son VGfatdog and noodles for a nice 40 minute walk...mmr says we went 1.92 miles. Enjoyed the company.

Going to Chi -town tomorrow for commencement. Should be a great day! So proud of the young nurses.

Guess who's back?

Back again. Hookie's back. Tell a friend! (tip of the memphis grizzlies cap to eminem)

I've taken a two week hiatus from just about everything due to work and worry and some nagging injuries that i didn't want to become debilitating.

I went 2.23 miles today with the VGFatdog. Ran the 60/60 splits and felt pretty darned good. Will clean up the garage tonight with an eye on lifting in the morning. The weight bench is surrounded by the detritus of my life.
