BLACK

I just hit the park for a great 4 mile run. This place is where I’m happiest. The trees over my head protect me from the elements while the ground is cushioned by pine needles over the dirt. I feel like one with the park. I may log more miles here than anyone else. The park and I are best friends. The trail always invites me to continue when I need to clear my head. I never run out of trail. It’s so damn quiet here.


I started my run from my new gym, which is located on the north side of the park about ¼ mile from the entrance. It’s logistically much easier to run from this point, return and shower up to head back to the office. The switch of gyms is working out just fine.

I’ve asked Doug to run with me once a week, he will help my speed increase. He runs very fast and I can’t really keep up. I just have so much trouble doing speed work by myself. I’m really looking forward to his company as well.

My music was outstanding all day! I had some J Lo kicking at the office (I don’t care if you don’t like her music, the thought of one night with her makes me smile for hours). Out on the trail it was all about Black , by pearl jam. The song is amazing, I must have played it 5 straight times on my run. I’m going to play it 20 more times right now at the office!! By the way, speaking of the office I told them to change my title.

I am now to be known as the Director of Positive Energy. This place is like working in a morgue. Somebody needs to take care of it!!

Stay strong!

Keep the Faith

P.S. how fucking good is Tim Thomas

Song of the day- Black, of course!
