Mr Jones...and me

I'm back. Sorry for not posting in a while, it's been a crazy week. The weather hasn't been any good for running. I played hoop everyday this week and played tennis on Thursday. My weight remains the same so I think I'm going to really need to put up some miles to lose some more lbs.
I got a couple of emails from folks who were thinking the beast was winning because I haven't been posting. The truth is, with the way the weather has been, I just haven't focused much on this quest lately, if I did it would only lead to frustration from not being able to run.

I did manage to get a run in yesterday, 2.5 miles with a lot of hills. I felt good, the hills sucked but it was a good run to get me going again. I was planning to run again today but it's only 37 out. I really need the temp to be above 50. The cold air kills my asthma.

When I was running all I could think of was the lyrics to Mr Jones by the counting crows:
"I want to be a lion! Everybody wants to pass as cats .We all want to be big big stars, but we got different reasons for that. Believe in me because I don't believe in anything and I want to be someone to believe!!"

I'm not sure why this beast is inside me, but I know that I need do to this. Maybe it's a self esteem issue, maybe I want to feel like a big big star. It could be that I have mis-identified the beast and that when it's over I'll still have a hole to fill!! I won't know until November 4th, but right now I need to run to bring peace to my life..see ya soon...dave
