Haiku – The “Freezing My Butt Off” Run

Thrash Metal thumping

Viking Metal pounding loud

A cold run today

Digging this new Thrash Metal group, Municipal Waste.  Downloaded three songs by them, good to warm up to.

I also figured it was time to catch up with the rest of the world, so I downloaded a Manowar album to listen to.  Great stuff.

Aerosmith – good tunes

Three and a half solid miles

Lightning bugs flashing

(this song really got me moving last night)

Some more good reasons to drink coffee, helps with running as well.

Caffeine (in coffee or otherwise) improves performance… Hundreds of studies have shown that consuming caffeine before a physical challenge likely helps subjects go farther and faster than when they go without it. This effect holds true in studies of both endurance athletes and sprinters.

Haiku – Today’s Run – (6/11/2013)

Rock in my left shoe

Thumping pain in my right toe

5 Miles – walk and run

This was a very up and down run tonight.  It was easy and hard, kind of a strange one, but I made it out the door – didn’t think I would.  Running, just got to love it.  Such an odd way to stay in shape.

Anybody want to spill about their runs, the good ones or bad ones, just let it flow below.  

Zeppelin really pushed me on tonight.  Got to give them some love.  

I never get tired of this song.

Night-time closing in

As day light takes one last breath

3 miles in the heat

I have been listening to Metallica’s Black Album the last couple of times I ran and it has surprised me with how effective it has been.  The beats and rhythms on that CD really help to push the legs on.  If you run, and like Metallica, you should try it sometime.

I always liked this song by them and hate all you want, it is still a great song, not to get you pumped for running, but a great song none the less.

I don’t have a runners body, but I have a runners heart – and that is all you need.   Army Sergeant Jennifer Morris, Runners World Challenger.

Waterfall of pain

Greeted my body today

2 miles – very tough
