Work is a bit boring today and it's Valentines Day, so what the hell???...I'll write a blog.  Last week started pretty well, but Tuesday night I got the flu and didn't run Wenesday, Thursday or Friday.  I was already signed up to run the 4 mile at the Truffle Shuffle on Sunday as part of a team for the student housing complex that I manage, so I went for a sick 26 minute shuffle on Saturday and ran three 200's to try to loosen up a bit.  Then I ran a still sick 21:31 at the shuffle, which burned my freaking lungs up and made me still weaker. 

There is good in everything though (Well maybe not everything...I can name a few ex-girlfriends that I'm quite sure are the anti-christ, but usually there's something good in most things) because I actually dropped about 6 lbs from being sick and I'm starting to feel a bit like a runner again.  Yesterday evening I loosened up by doing 1 set of 600, 400, 300, 200, 100.  Then, at 7:30 this morning I ran 300m hills with my friend Conor.  I went in to see my massage therapist Casey Phaigh after my workout and I told him that the hills felt a little strange and that I have a feeling that my hip might be a little outta whack.  Good news though.  Casey said that my hip was perfect.  I guess that I just need to learn how to run normal again ;) 

Oh, this is kinda random....  Has anyone ever said "cool beans" to you?  I personally think it's just as bad as saying "sounds like somebody's got a case of the mundays".  It pisses me off.  Cool Beans??  What the hell kind of saying is that?

Anyway, another random note.  I'm thinking tonight might just be a great night to go out.  I haven't went out for a few weeks now, but think about it....80's night on Valentines Day.  It's gonna be crazy out tonight.  I just might have to stop acting like an old man and actually stay out past my 9pm bedtime.  Yeah baby, I'm a rebel!
