First 5K of the year.

The weather was a concern during the week as on Thursday and Friday we had “semi trailer tipping winds”.  Saturday turned out very well.  40 degrees, 100% overcast and zero winds.  Started out cold , but plenty warm halfway through.

This is the race last year that I could have had a PR, but got caught up behind all of the walkers going across a bridge.  This year I started out in the front and avoided that jammage.

Last year I put quite a bit of good treadmill work and this year was a little less.  I didn’t really feel good about my training until last week and had 3 really good workouts.

BUT !!!

It just wasn’t my day.

The run stars with about a 1/4 mile uphill and the first 1/2 mile just killed me………………

I ended up with a 10:29 pace (9:50 last year) and that was much better than I thought I was going to have after the first mile……..

One month to the next run.

Well, being that it was Saturday, it was “Saturday night pizza night”

Man, I loaded this sum bitch up with lots of cheese…………………..

Rainy and cold on Sunday, may or may not get snow Sunday into Monday (writing this 12:00 pm Sunday)

Got home from the run and turned the TV on and watched about 30 minutes of Ireland play Scotland in rugby (I love rugby, used to play).

Did not see a single african on the field……………..

Every person on the field looked like a 20th generation subject…………

Any time I watch European soccer, it looks like 75% of the teams are from the Dark Continent.

Well, being that it was Saturday, it was “Saturday night pizza night”

I have a 5K next week and I’m 10 pounds overweight and need to cut some weight so I had “Taco Shell Pizzas” instead of having a lot of dough.  Green olives, pepperoni and the real good (and cheap) whole milk mozzarella from Wally World.

The weather for the weekend:

Friday night into Saturday morning, it rained and it rained hard.

Saturday was warm, but the yard was too wet to do any yardwork.

Sunday was sunny, windy and rather chilly.

I did get out in the garage on Saturday to straighten a few things up.

Huge remodel project going on at work and I brought home a couple of “mail boxes” that I can either use in the garage as cabinets or, I could take them apart and use the material to make shelves for the garage or even basement.

The big metal cabinet came from the place where I get work done on my vehicles.  The last time I was in a for an oil change, the cabinet was sitting in the reception area.  The owner told me that they rearranged their offices and they might throw it away.  I told him if he decided to toss it, that I would take it.  So, I got it.  If I can get this in my house, it would make for fair gun storage.

I’d like to think that Mossad snuck in and stole them to present to Trump as a trophy.

Kind of a slow week for me, not much happening or going on.  Weather again was too cold to go outside and do work in the yard or the garage.

I have a St. Patrick’s 5K coming up so I’ve been using the treadmill at work.  Feel pretty good so far.  Outside training ins better than treadmill work, but two of the best times I had last year came after indoor training………..

Well, being that it was Saturday, it was “Saturday night pizza night”

No pizza, wife had a bad reaction to her eye shot so I just had pizza rolls instead.

Shooting in Austin by an “Eatatasnackbar” guy”.

No motive yet

Carry, everywhere.

3 F-15’s were shot down by the Kuwaiti’s…………..

Those pilots were never hear the end of that……………

“protesters “showed up at our embassy in Pakistan

Word of advice: “don’t”

Marines at the embassies live for this…………
