Run streak day 303 and happy as can be!

Just wrapped up a late night run for #rsd303!!!!  Had to watch the ducks and sun Devils game go into overtime!  Finished just in time for the weekend to set in. 

Today is my wonderful fathers birthday and I owe all my hardwork and dedication to him. He might not know it but he taught me how to be selfless and always do the right thing and leave no excuses for unfinished business. If there's a task at hand just do it. Sorry Nike, but today's mile was for pops. Love you dad!  

Happy Birthday!

#rsd299

Wow. I made it to run streak day 299!  I haven't yet run today but I'll make sure it's a good one!  Never would I have thought that I would run this many days in a row. The human body is an amazing thing. 

Today I went in and got some vaccinations for my trip to South America. Damn near passed out after they stuck them needles in me!  I've never been a fan of shots and today was more evidence of that. I had to lay on the damn exam room table for a few before I left!  Anyway. Here's to hoping I don't pass out on my run this evening!

Happy Back to the Future Day!

In honor of today I've got a few friends over to watch btf2 on the projector and have some food and drinks. I was looking for something retro to commemorate this run with but the only thing I have that was around in 1985 is these old ass legs!    

So in honor of oct 21 1985 I'm running in my john Stockton shorts. Yup. You read that right. Shorts shorter than boxers. Shorts so short daisy duke wouldn't wear them. Shorts so tight you can see the nickel in my pocket and if it wasn't for boxer briefs.... Well you get the picture. 

Also, my Podcast launched on iTunes this week so go checkit out. "Get your shit together"is the name and the official website is www.gystpodcast.com. 

Welcome to the future!

RSD292

Haven't posted since August?!?  I must be slacking. If you're reading this then I apologize for my lack of consistency on the blog. Although I am still running!  

Finished my second ever full marathon with friends down in Portland. Amazing event. The results weren't exactly what I would have liked but I finished!  Considering the minimal training I'm surprised at how well I did. Got some cramps around mile 17 and struggled through the rest of the race dealing with that. I ran in my Adidas supernova boost. Super lightweight and comfy for about 15 miles. I began thinking my Pegasus would have been a better idea for cushioning and a plush ride. Oh well. We live and learn!  

Looking forward to booking this trip to Peru this week to visit my brother. I hadn't really considered how the heck I'm going to run while away.  the town of Cusco which has an elevation of 12000 feet is where we'll be for a few days before heading to Machu Picchu. Here's to buying bottles of oxygen!!!!  

Cheers!
