It's been awhile....crocidile!!!

So I see haven't updated a post in a little over a month. I supposed I've been busy..perhaps I've just been lazy.

A lot has happened over the past month. I've been running outside more often. I've decided at first that I wasn't sure if that was a good thing especially in the new area where we live. We pretty much live on the top of a hill. Hills aren't good for runners...at least this fat piece of shit runner. Hills hurt. Hills are discouraging. Sure I can tell you that where there is a hill there is a decline....sure that's true but you always have to run back up the hill or in this case hills. I suppose I could call the wife and have her pick me up at the base of the hill so I don't have to run up it but I guess that wouldn't be kosher.

Anyway....long story short I have slowy but surely getting further and further up on the hill on the last half mile of my run. Great way to end a 4-5 miler. Sooner than later I'll make it all the way up without stopping.

Also in the past month activities have included drinking..and more drinking. Wednesday golf nights are fun but I don't think the extra "drink(s)" are helping my cause.

The kicker of all of this is that no matter how badly I am abusing my body right now during the summer I have managed to shed 10 pounds!!! I figure once the golf league is over the extra 15 that I want to shed will melt away like butter. It has to right?...beer=emtpy calories.

All in all I have been incorporating hill work in my runs now. I've noticed that by doing that I am able to run faster and longer during the course of my runs.

On average I'm getting in about 4 and half miles during my lunch at a time of about 34 minutes. If down the road I can manage 5 miles during my lunch hour at around a time of 36 minutes I'll be as happy as a pig in slop!!
