It is always nice getting that first day under my belt after a day off. It seems like my day off throws off my running schedule or more like whole schedule. So it is nice to get back on track with work and with running. I think it was a good decision to switch my running day off to my actual day off from work. It seems like everything flowed much smoother this past week because of that little adjustment. Here we are almost 10 days into June and I thought it would have been a lot hotter here than it actually is. The weather is pleasant in the day time, not too hot and in the night it is rather cool. I am very pleased with that. If I was in the actual desert (Middle East) it would be a ba-jillion degrees by now. So if I have to take away a positive for being here, the weather might just be it.
My run today was a pretty good one. Instead of listening to music during my run I watched "Superman Returns" and it was actually a good way to spend my run. It was a nice change of pace. Hopefully they will have another good movie on so I can spend my time running watching a movie rather than listening to music. Today I ran 7.21 miles, burned 1.382 calories, and I ran for 80 minutes. Today's run was a lot easier than yesterday's run because I actually ate something before I ran. I don't think it's a good thing if you feel like you are going to pass out after a run. To remedy that I bought me a box of Snicker's Marathon bars so I won't be stuck in that situation again.
Since I can never remember if Dad's B-day is the 9th (I always think it is this day for some reason, I hope that I am right) or the 10th, HAPPY 60th BIRTHDAY DAD!!!! I know this number bothers you but I am sure you have run more marathons than most 60 year old. Keep it going. And on a crazier note, watch out for dangerous Fun-yuns, I was eating some and broke off a 1/4 of one of my molars. They should put a WARNING label on those suckers!!! Until next time...

Your right it is the 9th. The people here at work decorated my office. A lot of cute sayings like, You know when your getting old when the candles cost more than the cake. They have a big cake and ice cream for later. I did not run Monday. I gained 1 pound putting me back up to 227. It's ok though, I just want to run and bike as much a possible. The weight will come off if I keep it up. If I get locked into the weight loss I get depressed when I don't lose and that effects all of my workouts. I have lost 23 lbs. since I started a year and a half ago. I just need to consentrate on the big picture and keep working out. I will try and get a short run in today. love ya dad
Boy, sorry to hear about your tooth. I didn't think fungyuns would break a tooth but I guess my thinking is flawed. Do they have a dentist on base? You won't have to go anywhere off base will you? I am glad the nights are cool for you and I am proud of your running and sticking with it. Me and Dad have been watching 24 and we just finished Season 4. We have seen them before so Season 5 will be new for us. Your Dad calls it Jack Crack because we can never just stop at one episode, gotta have more. Your dad's office is really decorated (trashed) with black crape paper and confetti every where. Well I should close and get back to work. It looks like Heather will have her work cut out for her for the next few days with two more girls in the house. One thing it will keep her very busy. I love and miss you lots. Be safe. Momma
Dad I hope you had a great B-day and for once I finally got the day right!! I think you are right about not getting hung up on the weight loss because messes with your psyche when you don't lose what you think you should have lost. Just keep up the exercise and the weight will eventually come off. Mom, they do have dentists here.....Army dentists, so I think I will wait until I get back to Kadena to get it looked at. I think I will need a crown though. It doesn't bother me so I should be fine. I hope that time flies by for Heather with all those girls running around for over a week. That might just put her over the edge for the looney bin. Love you both. Brandon
