Ahhh rest

Yesterday was a very tuff run for me. It was raining, my knee hurt, my right shin was hurting and my thighs were burning. I was able to push through it though and got in my 5K loop. I did have to stop twice(And not for stop lights. Those held me up like always.) Once because my body was screaming at me and the second because I had an IPod malfunction. I was able to finish in 31min. 56sec. Not great, but I will take it. So today I rest I plan on just going in to work and that's it. I am running in a 5K on Saturday. It's the 13th annual Run for the Young in Greece,NY. This was the first 5K I had ever ran in and I had a lot of fun. My supervisors wife is running in it again this year also. So won her Division last year.

OK so here is a topic most people avoid when talking about Disney parks. Have you ever had something of value stolen from you at the parks. I had my camcorder stolen on my first trip with my wife back in '03. We were at Pizza Planet and we were enjoying some of the video games. Well we decided to split up and play on separate games. Well I had put the camera bag down on the ground next to my foot to play this one game and when I went to go grab it. The bag was gone! I started to freak out. Did you know that there are no security cameras in there. You would think that for safety reasons they would. I will tell ya if we were not at Disney that would have been the worst trip ever by far. Luckily we were able to put it behind us and just kept on moving forward. Well that's it. I hope everyone is happy and healthy.

UPDATE

Well People it's official. MIKE-SPEED is back baby! Yep I set a new PR for a 5K today. I ran the race in 24min. 32sec. or 7.55min mile ave. Beat last years race by 9sec. and that was with a good knee! I got a little worried because at mile 1 I heard the kid call out on the bullhorn 7min. 21 sec. I was like holy cats! Should I slow down. Knee felt good, Breathing was good, energy was ok. Ah screw it lets go. I did start to feel it at mile 2. But I was able to just keep pushing on. Knee so far has not bothered me yet. But tomorrow will be a whole other story. Well that's it guys. Happy mothers day to all our Team Voice mom's out there.

I know what you mean about rough runs...At least you got your 5k loop in though.

I've never had anything stolen on vacation. I guess I'm super protective of my stuff though.

Congrats on your 5k...A NEW PR - That's amazing! I'm very proud of you...Keep it up!

Catching up on da' blogs...

I can only imagine what you will be able to do when the knee, and your confidence, is 100%. 22's perhaps?

Wife had a bag stolen when in Miami. We went down a day early for a cruise trip. Good thing I carried the cruise tickets for once! Other than that, nothing stolen off of me personally..My cars..well...The 2008 GPS smash and grab incident, my 99 Civic si (stolen just after I traded it in), another smash and grab for my stereo (97), same care stolen a year later from the Aetna parking garage... So, I've been lucky at Disney, but not so lucky otherwise ;-)

Wow! I wish I could run that fast. I'm impressed. Good job on the running.

I've never had anything stolen at Disney either.
