It's been BAD DAY !!!

Don't cross the streams.

Why??

It would be bad.

I'm fuzzy on the whole good-bad thing. What do you mean, bad?

Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.

Total protonic reversal. Ok,, that's BAD

Life in the Fartlek lane



So,,, welcome to Friday,,, or at least its Friday for most of the world,, working an rotating schedule or something that includes weekends,, leads one to not have an exact Friday,,, however that ususally means that there are days off during the week, which IMHO are Better than weekend days !!


In life like running there are time to go fast and times to go slow,,, The Fartlek pace is simply going faster for a short burst, then slowing down to recover,,, then faster again,.. you repeat this many times so that you can then go faster for a longer period and recover quicker,,, hummm sounds like Life,,, you get goin real fast,,, and then need to slow down to recover! Cause "Life in the fast lane.... surely make you lose your mind,,,"

I attached the runners world version of Fartlek ,,



Derived from the Swedish term that means ‘Speed Play’, fartlek can provide an excellent endurance and strength session, as well as help improve your speed and race awareness. Fart=speed and lek=play

The use of 'fartlek' came about to provide a less structured approach to that of interval training. Its origins and use were developed in the 1930's. Whereas, in interval training the structure prescribes a given distance run in a given time with a given rest, fartlek's approach is to have you run at a given time, 2 minutes for example over undulating terrain or flat wherever your run may take you. The effort prescribed can be at 10k race pace to whatever speed you wish to make your effort. The rest in-between is normally at an easy pace to allow recovery before the next effort.

A club that you DO NOT want to join


so,, on the way to Oneonta via route 28 ,, there are many ,, count that as greater than 8 and less than 15 ,roadside memorials to a Person or Persons that lost their life at that location,,, they range from a small simple cross to Crosses with Flowers, flags, and the persons names written or painted on them,,, some have beads, and other personal items. Now , thank God,, I have never and will never get to experience what that is like,,, but let me ask ,,, is the reason folks are drawn to that , because that is where their loved one was last alive,,,??? or That is where they passed?? Sort of a pseudo Grave ?? - Hey whatever gives you Peace, and maybe closure with what can only be an unspeakable horrible set of Events,,,


When my time arives,, and who really knows the how and when that is gonna be,,,, huh ?? That is the biggest mystery of ourlives ,,, anyway,,,when it does happen,,, PLEASE ,,, play my favorite music,, not that damn church organ OMG WTF music,.,. MY FAV stuff,, Let Frank pick it out,,,,,, Serve Beer in Tall Cold Glasses,,, and close with Zevon's "My Ride is Here" you can use the one by Springsteen if you want,,,

From Red,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

.......and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice... but still, the place you live is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.

I don't like Monday's

Like Mr Geldoff ,,, I don't like these things either,,, except that it is the Start of a new week,,, for some,, but for my schedule,,, its just another day,,, Work,,, run,, home, Cat Pans,,, Clean , dinner, Yankees lose, sleep, Repeat - with very little change... So,, since when do I think that things should be different,,, Kid rock started the day,,, with Rock and Roll Jesus,, and Down to New Orleans,,, that gets you goin a bit,,, All right then,,, Let's try to be Joey Rammone today , and Hey-ho- LET's Go, Hey-ho- LET's Go,

Hey ho, let's go Hey ho, let's go Hey ho, let's go Hey ho, let's go

Sunday,,,


The Hoban Family ,, via the 3 children picked up their 4th College Degree yesterday at Kimberly's graduation from SUNY Oneonta... !! Amazing from 2 parent who collectively have ZERO degrees and Barely several college credits to their names..... Now , she moves back today,, and we will see from there - huh ....


Big Brown won the Preakness ,,, now onto the Belmont.... ahhhh a not so easy mile and a HALF !! that has claimed many a horse's dream of the Triple.... We will get to see the greatest race of this or any other time,,, when Secretariat won by - how many lengths was that ,, and the great shot of Ron Turcotte turning around to see where the hell everyone else went..

On June 9, 1973, almost 100,000 people came to Belmont Park near NewYork City to see if "Big Red" would become the first horse in 25 years to win the Triple Crown. Secretariat gave the finest performance ofhis career in the Belmont Stakes, completing the 1.5-mile race in a record 2 minutes and 24 seconds, knocking nearly three seconds off the track record set by Gallant Man in 1957. He also won by a record 31lengths. Ron Turcotte, who jockeyed Secretariat in all but three of his races, claimed that at Belmont he lost control of Secretariat and that the horse sprinted into history on his own accord.
Met's defeated the Hapless Yankees,,, god they suck !!

May 14th - Same old Same OLD

Whoa,, so what to say about today,,, some personal happenings, that we will not be discussing here,,, simple to say that a portion of things that were are not anymore,,,, get it >?>> no,, GOOD..

Yankees suck,............. can't score a run,,, actually did score one in two games,,, that ain't gonna get it done..

Spring is movin forward, a bit nicer weather,,,, running is going ok,,, a bit of pain in my right knee,,,, bit I am running thru that, and overall feel like progress is being made,,,, You certainlly realize that you are 52 when you try to run 5-7 miles everyday !! The body has it's own way of communicating its issues and giving you immediate feedback on what the Hell HURTS !!!

Big weekend coming up and more on that topic later,,,, so I need to get to work,,,
