I have been running, but it has been sporadic so I haven't been taking note of my mileage. It has been 6 miles here, 5 miles there, 4 miles, 3 miles...
My left leg needed a rest so I have been doing that. It has been doing better though so it is time to up the mileage again. I have been doing thorough stretches and got a rope to help get a better stretch. It takes me about 20 (or more) minutes to completely finish my stretches.
I was lent a book: "Why We Run" by Bernd Heinrich. So far I like. I'm only a chapter in so...I'll give more of an opinion later...
I'm also reading PaleoDiet for Athletes - again!!! I need away from rice pasta and bread. They help but I really don't want them in my diet...
For now it is time to go read and sleep. I will have more on running later. I have a busy running schedule this weekend. I'm looking forward to it...that and TS Gustav and Hanna! Let's hope for CAT 5 hurricanes!!! Two in a row? Could it be possible?!!! I'm stoked on the thought of it!
More later.

6 miles tonight...8.16.08...
...once again, I HATE running the city. This was the second time (that I know of) that I was stalked...
I can't wait to give some asshole a dose of bear mace and then I'm going to fucking stick them in the throat with my knife...
Anyway, my left leg was in PAIN throughout my whole run. From the groin to my calf. I have no clue what's going on but I'm afraid of getting another stress fracture (this was the leg that I had it in before.) Women are known for getting SF's easily. FUCK! It's the damn cement.
I was stoked on tonights run but I'm also bummed because I'm afraid of injury and having to cut back on running...no, not going to happen!
It's time to apply lots of Comfrey. I also need to take in lots of the following foods: sardines, salmon, bones, leafy greens, nut milks, spinach, broccoli, and kale.
I'm also going to drink lots of green, nettle leaf, and dandelion teas.

My legs...
...don't want to work for me. They ache. The less I run the more they ache during my runs. The more I run the less they ache. So more running. Tonight I did 4 miles. My lower legs burned. I stopped and stretched and then they were better. I need to stretch often, even on days that I don't plan to run. Also I hate running in the city...have I mentioned this before?!!! Running in the forest is a completely different experience and the trees give you lots of clean air to breath so that you don't become winded. The city strangles you and slows you down...I have zero motivation when I run on concrete, no motivation when I have car fumes choking me and headlights blinding me. Fuck, I hate the city.
Tomorrow I'll be running 6 miles and then Sunday 8 miles. That and some swimming and fishing this weekend...life is more than awesome when wildness and running are involved!
I also plan to do some plyo training and lifting this weekend...I haven't plyo trained in months! I'm going to die!!! I can't wait!

Three runs...8.8 - 8.9 - 8.11...
I haven't been keeping up with this...
I'm sure that I am not remembering some mileage; Friday night, 8.8, I went out when the Sun was going down-I planned to do 8 miles but only did 6.5 miles. Most of that run I did in complete darkness on the wooden trail. I was completely blind for 3-4 miles of the run and I came close to falling on my face several times. I sprinted the miles that I did have daylight for. I was in such a bad mood that I could have seriously, if I had the light, finished 6 miles in 20 minutes!
Saturday night, 8.9, I ran 3 miles...it was very late-like 1AM. I was very tired when I did this run...but I did it! This run made me laugh, there I was getting my run on while more than half of the town was getting their drink on!
And then today I did 6 miles. I ran a couple of trails. I started on a cement trail and continued onto the pine trail. I had to pee a lot during this run and my left leg is in a lot of pain. From my groin to my knee. This isn't from running...this leg has always been a problem...I was waiting for it to start giving me shit again...and here it started this weekend.
Alright, I need a shower and I need sleep.

8.5.08
Even though I ran at 1AM I'm counting this as my Tuesday run! I feel good. I haven't gone out running in several days...once again my moon sickness sucked up all of my energy! I had the worst cramps yesterday. Pain, shakes, sweat, chills, vomit, shit, more pain, thought I was going to die, I wanted to cry but I was in too much pain to do so. I know, this has nothing to do with running, but I didn't do much yesterday because of the 4 hours of hell!
So I was thinking today about running and the races I'm going to take part in. I need to find which races I'm going to do and then I need to sign up. First I'm going to do a 5k, then a 10k or I might skip the 10k and go straight to a half-marathon. Next spring (or fall) I plan to do the big 26.2 miles! And I'm hoping to do that 70 miler in PA next summer too...we'll see...
Now I need to find the races that I want to run (I have the 5k planned already) and I also need to write Survival International. I really want to run for them. I hope that can happen.
Tonight I ran 4 miles. I love running 2 miles, 3 miles, 5 miles (is my favorite), and 6 miles...but 4 miles I FUCKING HATE! I don't know what it is about 4 mile runs but I seriously HATE and DREAD them! I can run 5 and 6 miles with ease...4 miles kills me though. I don't get it! HAHA!
Anyway. I ran 4 miles tonight, I'm pooped and need a shower. I think I run another 4 miles tomorrow. I hate running so late but it is when temps are coolest so I guess it will have to continue this way. I haven't lifted weights in weeks now and I plan to start lifting full body 3 days/week. I miss the iron!
Alright, time for that shower and time for some much needed sleep.

7.31.08 into 8.1.08
I just got back from running 6 miles. I feel good. I'm tired and sweaty. 4 miles in my left groin started irritating me but it didn't last long. I've had problems with that part of my leg since I fucked it up doing TSD years back...
I discovered this Recharge sports drink the other day. WAY BETTER than Vitamin waters. The ingredients are so much better too. No added sugars, and it has electrolytes. YUMMY!
Tomorrow I'm going to run 5 miles and then Saturday I'm doing the 8 miler! I can't wait!
It was a dark run tonight. I came close to stepping on a few rats (??? I'm pretty sure they were rats!) They darted off quickly into the weeds. That would have been awful if I would have stepped on them.
I hate running the streets. I think I had a stalker tonight-in a SUV...I need to get some mace. I always carry a knife but I like mace...you can spray some dumb fuck in the face and then stab him a few times while he is blinded. So yea, I'm going to look into some bear mace!
I need a shower. More later.
