Well I did it.

So it finally happened and I broke the streak.  Feb 11th to May 30th.  I went for a run, not I'm not sure if I can really count it but it but it was a step in the right direction.  I am calling it 2 miles I didn't and will not measure it but I was gone just over 20 minutes(I didn't bring my watch) and it was probably the most horrible experience of my life.  I could go into more detail but I really don't want to.  Either way it's done.

Alright well I think I waited long enough between posts

I was a disappointment even to myself today.  I went to bed early last night, around 10pm, hoping I'd be able to fall asleep early and wake up at 6.  I fell asleep right away and just happened to wake up at 4am.  Now did I take advantage of this rare opportunity of having a decent nights sleep and being awake at 4am.  Of course not, I basically stayed in bed browsing the internet until almost 6 then went to work.  I got there almost a full hour early and started on a side project I've been doing on my own lately which was nice but what really bothers me was what I didn't do.

I didn't run.  4am with plenty of time to spare I didn't even put shoes on for a 20-30 minutes run.  I might have gone further had I been able to drag myself out but I couldn't manage that.  Anyway pretty lame but what can you do.  I should just hire someone to run with me 6 days a week, how do you think that would cost?  Could I pay them in massages?  If thats the case I'd have to hire a chick cuz you know, it'd be gay otherwise.  Seriously though, I'll make someone brownies once a week if they make me run.  So for all of my readers keep in mind next time you're craving brownies....

I just do not blog that often anymore.

I don't know if it's a lack of time or just that I don't run so updating a blog I started for running is just kinda lame when it's no longer running updates.  Anyway, nothing really exciting has happened since my last post.  My day to day life is still boring.  I wake up, go to work and don't do much before going to bed when I get home. Although I have started planning out good things.  I am trying to make a list of places I want to hike this year and try to figure out when I can do each or them and if I can find anyone to go with me.  I suppose it wouldn't be bad to do them alone I could just bring an ipod but it'd be nicer to have company.

I would like to do Franconia Ridge, but the hike I at least that found that covered most of it was a 9 mile hike and I figured I should probably start out easier.  I'm sure I could do it but especially if I am going alone I'll start off with something shorter.  That way I can be sure if I get up at like 5am on a Saturday to drive up to some mountain or trail I can not only make it there, but get through the hike and stay awake on the drive home.  Anyway so that is the plan, who knows if it will actually happen but I'll try to make a trip over to REI soon and get some stuff so I can start hiking.  Let me know if you'd like to come along.
