SOAKED SATURDAY - SUPER SUNDAY - MONDAY MADNESS

Have any of you run in the rain?? I was always scared to run in the rain because the roads tend to be a little slick with oil and car junk. In fact my first 5k that I ran was St.Patrick's Day Dash in Dallas March 2009. That morning it rained heavy and while the course is on the street I had a couple of slips. Thank god I didn't fall but since then I was always more hesitant to run either in the rain or on wet pavement. BUT Saturday was another story. It rained all morning and mid day. It rained so much that at 1pm I thought hell it's a movie day. But by 2:30 the sun and blue skies were starting to peek out and I said to hell with the movie...I'm going for a run. I rush home and realize it's kind of cloudy on my side of town but who cares the drive was in me. I suited up thinking i'll get a few good miles in before the rain starts. By the time I get half way through my 5k it starts sprinkling...by the time my Nike+ tells me I have 2k left It is a torrential down pour. By the time I finished 4 miles the rain had stopped. I got home came in and was just shocked at how soaking wet I was. But you know...it felt good. Every time I get home after a run I'm a little sore but damn it just feels so good. Of course I also did my P90x Stretch video and some abs with my Nike 10lb medicine ball (not the one with the handles).

Sunday was HELLA SUPER!!! Way to go SAINTS!! I went to work and my goal was to get out by 3pm hit the workout and run a few miles and catch the end of the game. But what was this...I got home they just finished up the 1st quarter and Colts were up 10 points. I started making my ceviche and by the time I knew it was enthralled in the game. The Saints almost scored a TD and they went into the half at 6 to 10. That's it. Sunday is my rest day...I need to concentrate on this football game. Second half starts and I'm watching the kick-off and all of a sudden I scream...onside kick. WTF?? AWESOME call. Well, I don't have to give the play by play but it was an awesome super bowl game but that was one hell of an interception and 74 yard return for a TD.

Monday Madness started at 630 with some coffee, toast and a little bit of work. Two hours later it was P90X Core Synergetics time!! My favorite! Then the sun peeked out this morning! I just completed 7 miles. YEAH!! I need to make sure I can handle this Sunday in Austin. It will be my 4th Half Marathon and i'm super siked to get it together. Barring any allergic reactions or injuries, i'm hoping to stay under 2:45. PLEASE send me your bendaciones and oraciones. I'm gonna need them. That's prayers in Spanish for my English friends.

Well, i'm running late today and it is just an update day. Will see what we discuss tomorrow after I hit my Shoulders & Arms and Abs.

Good Times Peeps...TOOTLES
