Noah-like torrential downpours. Would'a been a great day to stay in bed, but, remember where I live? Headed out the door to nyc. Glad I did.
Got the numbers for manana's run, and saw The Social Network. Wow. Explains how Facebook becamse Facebook. AND, on the way outta the flick, was interviewed for a review by Youtube. Cool.

day 431
40 days/40 nights
left Toxichouse expecting to get a run in. Got to the job, not bad, misty, but rains were s'posed to hold off 'til 6 am, thus, I left EXTRA early (you DON'T wanna know). Get to The Parkhouse, FUCK!!! Skies opened. @ that point, I'm committed. Soaked to the core, drenched. Weather peeps said we could expect 3 days of rain in one hour. Funny. Really funny. BUT, got my miles in!!!
Freakin' over Greg Giraldo's death. Wow.

day 430
progress, baby steps
Getting back to "normal." Second day of St.Francis, oppressively sticky, air very heavy, but knees holding up. Abs sore after Boot Camp, a good thing. Still, glad to get back to The Line. Tonight, rain predicted, so REALLY glad I got out this am. Might havta do Boot Camp manana as well. Instructor knows why I'm there, inevitably says "raining, right?" To which I always respond: "Do you ask EVERY participant why they're here, or is it me?" Of course, it IS me. Have a funny way of drawing fire.
Flipped when I got home yesterday. The one thing I ask of Stoney is that he puts up the gate keeping Hulk from entering the den. He rarely, if ever does. After battling traffic to get home, and feeling icky from the humidididity, he asks for Taco Bell. I went off big time. I indicated it's the principle: you don't do shit, not even the miniscule ONE thing that's asked, and then put me on the spot for junk food???? I was REALLY pissed.
Run more, talk less.

day 429
well worth it
left Toxichouse, NOT knowing what was to occur. Was fully prepped to do Spin class tonight, should this goddamned rain continue. Leaving Hicksville, verrrry light rain. On the way to the job, bit heavier. DAMN. Then, as I enter the bldg, nothing. THAT'S the prob with this time of year, rain/no rain. DAMN. So...laced 'em up. Glad I did. Only the walkers were there, otherwise, had The Line to myself. REALLY glad I did after running, then walking Saturday. Needed the miles, as well as to get back on track.
...rain sucks.

day 428
older and slower
ok, so I didn't REALLY try yesterday, but...last year I was 12 seconds faster. SHIT. Alas, when I started running, speed was never an issue. With my knees, it can't ever be an issue. Always say: "at least I didn't walk." Knowing you can't break 8 minutes sucks, but then again, that's why God made marathons!!! The good news: everyone in the club did VERY well. Props to all.
Rain this am, enough to fuck everything up!!! Actually got to the job, ready to roll the dice and head out...and...and...fucking skies opened up. SHIT! Off to Boot Camp as an alternative. Mercy on the knees.
***Calls to mind: love when runners claim they can't run. Then, are you really a runner or a pussy??? There ARE other activities to be pursued, i.e. crosstraining, spin, elliptical, cycling, walking. No guts no air medal. To that effect, Boot Camp this am. Didn't wanna, but if you don't do SOMETHING, you lose it. Worked too hard to get this far. Was nice to get back. No one there from months ago when I was a regular, other than the instructor. This is a good thing, the circle of life. Peeps come, peeps go.

day 427
ending on a high note
did the Continental Airlines Fifth Ave Mile. Time sucked, but still in the 50%, Tom, Sue, and Deb all kicked ass. Good. Hung with them, plus Vince and Andrea before the run. Great time, before we knew it, it was time for our waves to go off.
Then, back for more Duane Reade Sushi, caught a flick, then to the job, surprise the kiddies. Caught 2 smokers. Good. Put the fear of God into 'em. Never know when Daddy'll be home :).
And again, Shebitch, nowhere to be found. Fuck her. GREAT weekend.

day 426
ouch!!!
Headed out to run with the club, so much for THAT idea. Went as far as St.Francis, did the turn around, then walked back with pesa. Didn't have shit for energy. KNEW I should'a taken the day off but nooooooooooooooo. STILL, glad to have hung with her for the walk back.
Got home, Jose y Sus Tres mexicanos having an unbelievable noisy party. FUCK ME. Off to The Mall to see Wall Street.
