Running Her Mouth: SOTD Some how Some way -- Jay Z

Blog Mission, In Simple Terms

"I'm a road-runner, baby." Jr. Walker

I'm a road-runner running and writing a blog consisting of run~on sentences about running while sharing a deep concentration with the music in my ears, so that one day my boys, Elijah and Levi, will be able to read up and keep it real; Run~ons just may be the most effective way to convey my health seeking mission to people who don't know me or do, but then I pretty much like the idea that language/structure can be as playful as the subject itself, plus the reader may decide that running~on in a run~on sentence kind~of~way, might be beneficial to him or her that is right now, as of this moment here, basically undiscovered or unawakened.

The blog used to be heavily augmented by my facebook page which featured SOTD (song of the day), however I don't have the time to do that anymore; the blog has also taken on a very flexible schedule of it's own where I closely examine pretty much anything I want, in my own special way, something that piqued my interest during the previous month; if it piques yours, well, that would be pretty cool, too.

SOTD Some how Some way -- Jay Z

Important to talk about this morning is a sad story I heard last night from a good friend of mine. His old boss broke his neck surfing at the NJ Shore and some surfers found him at the oceans edge. No words can really describe how this event makes me feel. There are many times when I need perspective on things but never hoping it's comes as hurtful as what happened to this man. It's uncertain what will happen to him but I'm sorry it did.

I Thought of him while I ran this morning. I felt perfectly (fucking) pain free (and it was amazing) for the first 80% of the run and then had an aching in the hammy for the remainder. This was a reminder that the area there is still in some distress, however I feel out of the woods, overall.

My pace was 8:10 covering 5.5 miles. I would like to keep going but a girlfriend of mine (who is a PA for orthopedics and sports medicine) made me swear to stop if I felt discomfort. So for the last twenty percent, I slowed it up and shortened the strides. Uphill bothers it more, flat is pain free. I am ready to be 100%.

Everything will be okay.

After telling me about his boss, my friend said he was going to give extra kisses to his daughter that night...another lesson to me. Appreciating the time with my two sons as it all goes by so quickly (I can see that it's true). Loving Elijah and Levi in the best way I know how is the best use of my love.
