Double Down

That is what I always think of when I say 11. Speaking of which, I am behind on one of my famous movie reviews. Well, they are famous to me..hahaha!

"21"

3 out of 4 stars. Mostly because I love blackjack. If you are not in to cards and casinos much than it might be a pass for you. If you have those vices like myself well than stop watching World Poker Tour on ESPN2, and get to a movie theater.


I did my long run today, which was a couple days earlier than scheduled. I hesitated thinking it would be too much on the body, but went for it trying to ignore the pace on LT and enjoy it?!


I left from Northshore Park, and saw a bunch of moms with strollers doing what sounded like a boot camp. That instructor was tough. I was waiting to see if she would have them do over head presses with the strollers. Here is 1/4 of the group trying to catch up to their sprinting instructor. I wanted to catch a pic of them in action, but thought the drill sergeant would spot me and make drop and give her 20.

I also eavesdropped on officials from the CB&I Triathlon race measuring out the course, and discussing the transition area. I really wanted to do that tri, but the distances are pretty long for me with the 1/2 marathon in Cleveland two weeks following. Oh well, next year. Those chicks on the bikes really made me mad. On my way into the park on Lake Woodlands they were flying through the stop signs. They would not even slow down, and I had to hit the brakes hard not to hit them. I am a big believer in; If we want to share the road as cyclist than we must follow road rules. Goes to those A-holes who don't show courtesy to cyclists as well. Oh, wee I guess I got on to some soap box there, sorry.

I did stop at HEB (grocery store) on mile 5, and went grocery shopping...totally kidding. I had to use the bathroom, and pick up a G2. I got a bathroom shot for Marcy. As, I was standing outside sucking down my drink I saw the biker mom from Lil' Buster's school. I swear I wasn't stalking her this time. LOL! She, saw me said hello, and that it looked like I was in the middle of something serious.

Anhow, the run was beautiful on the eyes, and I took it easy on the legs. The picture of the house by the lake is for Nancy. I was thinking how she had a pic of a vase, and said she had vase envy. LOL! That is how I feel about this house every time I run past it. I even imagine how sweet it would be to live there, right by the trail, go rowing in the lake(I have never rowed, but looks like fun) and have a housekeeper clean it, blah blah. Anything, to make the miles pass on, right? It was a gorgeous day, and 11 is in the books with pen now.
