Lazy Days

Wish Michael hadn't told me that Game of Thrones is a good series. Because now I'm sucked in and haven't done much else. But we did spar at karate tonight and it was a good workout. So far, no one my level in this class, but Master Matt said that I'd have fun with the black belts.

July 31: 1 mile after karate - with fuel belt and push-ups/sit-ups

Fuel Belt

So I broke down and purchased one yesterday. I don't like it, but if I'm going to run longer, I'm going to have to get used to it.

July 29: 1 mile ATB
July 30: 1 mile ATB with fuel belt + 50/25 

Gotta get back into sit-ups and push-ups.

Running on the Rims

Well, I've found that spot. The spot that while running makes me fall in love with a city. In Billings, it's definitely the Rims.

July 25: 1 mile ATB
July 26: 1 mile ATB
July 27: 1 mile ATB before stupid cancer Boot Camp
July 28: 2.5 miles on the Rims

What I learned: I need to get a water belt!

New locale: Billings, MT

Well, I'm here!

July 21:  1.6 mile run in Denver
July 22:  1 mile run after karate in Billings
July 23:  1 mile run in AM
July 24:  1 mile run in AM

Have to say, the nice thing is that it's in the low 60s in the morning so the morning runs are beautiful.  Bought my car yesterday (2014 Subaru Forrester in blue) and will pick it up today, returning my rental car a few days early.  Started karate Monday night and go back tonight.

I have a LOT of shopping to do.

Off to Denver

July 20: 1.2 miles on the Riverwalk

Dinner last night with Michael. Long conversations, talked about a ton of things, and got yet again some new insight into his head. I'm going to miss him so much. Saying goodbye (or see you later as he put it) was probably the hardest thing next to telling him I wasn't taking the job at Stony Brook. 

But I'll do him proud. Next stop, visiting the Bobroske's in Denver and then Billings in two days!

July 18: 1.5 mile run on San Antonio Riverwalk
July 19: 1 mile run on Riverwalk

Got in Wednesday night, had the usual meeting drinks with Michael. Dinner with Kristy and her husband last night. Dinner with Michael planned for tonight. It's time to say goodbye to my mentor and start in an awesome new place!

Another Hot One

90+ here in CT for the last 3 days and no sign it's going away anytime soon. Getting my run in early. Now I'm sitting at the car wash while my car is detailed in the hopes I get a little extra money today when selling it.

July 16: 1 mile DD run

Tomorrow it's a morning run followed by my flight to San Antonio. The start of my trip West. :)
