"Circus Boy is back in town" 7.2 -312.5

Since it is a long weekend and all, I mixed up my routine a wee bit..

I took Saturday off and got a walk in on Sunday, along the way I got together with a pal, met his new puppy (she is a real pip!) and we went out and had two different kinds of icy beverages (a frappicino and later on a slurpee!! my first one of the 2008 summer season!!)..

I alos went into a hat store, I was hoping top find a nice straw hat for summer, but the problem is...I have a huge head..*HUGE!*...in fact it is "Circus Big"..The funny thing was while we in the store, I told the clerk I had a really big head..She said "Oh we hear that all the time...I bet we have something in your size"..I then proceeded to tell her my hat size and she then got all quiet and looked at the floor.."We also do special orders" was her response..

*sigh*

We proceeded to look around and as expected..there was nothing in my size..

all in all a great walk!

Time: Wasn't so concerned..this was more of a social walk..

"PAR-TAYYyyyyy....partypartyparty...PAR-TAYYYyyyyyyy!!!!" 4.1 - 305.3

I had a work related celebration to attend last nigh, so I decided to get my miles in by walking from my work place to the party location...It was great weather for a stroll and the route was pretty hilly too!

I also learned something pretty interesting..

DON'T DRINK JAGERBOMBS!!!

>Insert witty quip here< 4.54 - 301.2

fighting a headache right now..so my brain power is low.. which is kinda sad for yours truly since "I'm none to bright"..I have a good heart though.. :P

Nice night for a walk, I started out way too fast and my calves seized up..this hasn't happened in many a month, maybe I need to eat more bananas?

I am not walking a fast as I'd like, but I am starting to get more miles in so the speed will come..

My self defence class is going great guns and is a great high intensity component to my fitness regimine, my morning and evening push-ups are helping out too..when you are as heavy as I am doing push-ups is a real strength builder that is for sure.

I am tired of being a big fat slob so I ain't gonna quit!!

"Walking on a Saturday..dum-dee-dum-dee-dum..."8.13 - 296.66

I had a nice 8 mile walk on Saturday, the weather was a little overcast and muggy...

I have been feeling a little achey this week so I didn't put the hammer down in the speed dept..

all in all a good walk..

and...

AND!!!..my right achilles didn't bother me at all!! (knocks on wood)..

Next week is another eight miles for the LSD (long slow distance) and the week afterI will ramp up to ten miles..my goal is to get a 15 mile walk in before the end of July..

*gulp*

"heel and toe and heel and toe..and...wait...what was the first part again?" 4.1 - 273.09

well I got a pretty nice walk in today, along the way I encountered a co-worker who was riding his bike home.. He slowed down and we chatted for a bit about "work crap" as co-workers tend to do when away from work..

I was kinda sore from my martial arts class so I didn't push it too-too hard...

lots of nonsense going on at work and I need to come up with a plan to deal with it..

*sigh*

very stressful..I love my walks though..they keep me sane..

"Got picked up on the way" 2.5 - 268.99

I had a much shorter walk than usual because as I walked home from work today I ended up getting picked up by my wife who was driving back from taking the dog to the park. :)

I was very sore from my first martial arts class so I ain't complaining too much!

I Got more of that tomorrow too!!!

Time: I dunno I didn't check my watch when I stopped walking

"therealtony shuffle" 6.15 - 266.49

well..my work schedule this week prevented me from getting any walking in..

I worked a 73 hour work week, not to brag or complain or nothing..but there you go..

Anyways, I finally got a chance to walk today and I had a pretty good one in too, no pressure about time or pace..in fact I took a break part way through to visit a friend and sit down for a "cuppa-cuppa"..I also managed to find a cd I have looking around for that last few months..I got it 2nd hand too!! That made me a happy chappy..

I had to miss my martial arts class last week too..

But this week I can get some more miles in..
