January 9th, Monday

Welcome to the new and improved blog!  Thanks to my good friend Michelle for the much needed upgrade!
Today was a day that I would not have run ordinarily.  Just wasn't feeling it, AT ALL!  But once I got going it was OK.  I ended up going 7.68 miles in 74 minutes & 18 seconds in case you are keeping track!  Had the misfortune of crossing the path of a flattened skunk.  I thought it was bad in a car!  I could not get away fast enough!!!  Ran along the bike path on the 56 like what I did last Wed.  Feeling a bit more sore than usual tonight but hope ice & some stick work will help.

I am going to do a lot of random things during this journey.  One will be to drink a little less beer, but when I do, I prefer Ballast Point!  In fact, that will be the only beer I drink for the rest of the year due to the great support Jack has given me!  Drop by the Old Grove Brewery in Scripps Ranch (Amber will treat you right!) or the taster bar at the Home Brew Mart at the bottom of the hill from Uni near Morena.

Here is another song I heard today & it is combined with scenes from my favorite movie of all time: (lyrics are below the video when playing)

Best lines:

I've got to keep running the course
I've got to keep running and finish at all costs
I've got to keep going, be strong
Must be so determined and push myself on...

Have a great one and I will talk to you again soon.  Please keep my folks in your prayers & thoughts!
