10.5 Mile Run: Brownell - Shades Creek Greenway

Started off quite cold, but I ended up peeling and draping layers over the belt of my mp3 player's holder. Over all, a beautiful day. I neglected to note that during last week's long run, I had a nose bleed. Seems like something that should go to the log.

I started the run by finishing Adam Curry's latest "Charlie"(show 360). And, I must admit after listening I have go to godaddy.com. During the show he referenced the latest Playboy which apparently features the "godaddy" girl whom Adam describes as drop dead gorgeous. Well, I went and there is a girl on the main page, but I'm not blown over. She is attractive, but not enough to even get close to being on "the list". OK, I don't have a list, but if I did... No insult to her intended. Just wondering what is the brouhaha. She must not be the one. Looked a little further and found GoDaddy's TV Commercials (look under Go Daddy Girl). Now, I see what the brouhaha is. Morality still has to stop me, eh?

I also listened to the latest Phedippidations. Well, Steve is struggling with some shin pain which may ultimately prevent him from running Boston this year. Dang, I sure hope not. All runners know what it is like to train and plan for such a big event only to have to cancel in the end. It is a HUGE let down. Steve, I wish you the best man! By the way, he mentions going out while in some pain to run 12 or 20 miles depending on the level of the pain. My experience has been that if the source of the pain is not DOMS (delayed onset of muscle soreness), then running through it makes it worse in the end. But, running through some pain works for some runners. I am pretty much a "if it hurts, I don't run".

I concluded the run with the The Foo Fighters, There is Nothing Left to Lose, and Jack Johnson, In Between Dreams. I love this Foo Fighters CD, but for some silly reason hadn't ripped it despite the fact that I have owned it for so long. Rectified that problem this week. I bought 2 Jack Johnson CD's after hearing one on them during the cool down period a recent session of the MuscleWorks class I attend at our gym. Great CDs.
