There's No Such Thing As Too Much Sex{Dwarf}

As is my won't after a five hour 80's dance nite at Sex Dwarf I took it easy w/ a 10 miler since this time around I had some leverage w/ my schedule.
After the New Years Eve bash at Sex Dwarf I had no choice but to run 12 miles to round out my week at 50 miles and trust me after dancing for 6 hours the last thing I needed was a 12 mile run but somehow I got through it....albeit rather slowly.

Fast forwarding 6 days and a second 80's nite at Sex Dwarf this time the regular first Friday of the month dance party I knew the prospect of a 12 miler b4 Sundays scheduled 4x1mile repeats was not what I wanted to do,had I've not had yesterday off work I may not've gotten my 12 miler in but since I did have the day off I was able to make that happen sometime you have to make your schedule work for you,this week w/ a race scheduled on Thursday and the prospect of Sex Dwarf the following nite there was a lot of juggling my schedule this week the bottom line is thus far I got a 10 miler and 8 miler on Monday and Tuesday, a total of 4 miles on Thursday,12 miles yesterday 10 today leaving 4x1mile repeats w/ a mile warm up and mile cool down.....50 miles cue Hannibal of The A Team"I love it when a plan comes together"

Onto The Next One

I'm still waiting for the official results from last nites Thursday Nite @ The Races b4 doing full justice to the evening,I will say I'm less than happy w/ my time of 4.39.8. given my 4.15.8. 1,500m last week but once the data is at hand I will elaborate on that.

Took full advantage of having the day off today,slept till noon b4 going out at 1.30pm to run 12 miles,Tuesday and Wednesdays sub zero temps seemed a distant memory as it was in the mid 50's this afternoon,more of the same tomorrow and Sunday would be nice as I look to complete another 50 mile week beginning w/ a 10 miler tomorrow.

Twice The Fun

As if 6 hours of dancing to my favourite 80's tunes on New Years Eve wasn't enough,the first Sex Dwarf 80's dance party of 2012 tomorrow spotlights Duran Duran and hopefully some Arcadia and Power Station thrown in for good measure.......

Warm Thoughts On A Frigid Day

I was glad today was a rest day,strewth anytime the temps are only 26 degrees and you're being told it feels like 16 that's friggin' cold!!
Note to self next time the temps are below freezing remember to dig out thermal socks my feet felt like two blocks of ice out on the loading dock today,I'm working in a glorified concrete box which means in the winter it's like a walk in freezer and in the summer it's like a brick oven,maybe if I hadn't goofed off all those years ago in high school I'd have a better job!!!!

Today marks 26 years since Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy passed away at a mere 36 years old,a tragic waste as his best years were probably still ahead of him.

Thin Lizzy were the first modern Irish band I ever discovered in 72 when they released "Whiskey In The Jar" I can remember walking up and down St Patrick Street in Cork city looking for a record shop to buy it,it was in a plain pale blue and white sleeve w/ the Decca record label showing,not sure I still have that a original 7'' vinyl but I have several Thin Lizzy albums and cds.

Phil Lynott was a truly great frontman his swagger was the stuff rock and roll was made of,one of the great all time lines in rock and roll was Phil Lynott on the classic Thin Lizzy live album/cd "Live And Dangerous" recorded at Hammersmith Odean on their 76 "Johnny The Fox" tour and also in Toronto in 77 on the "Bad Reputation" tour when Phil asks the crowd in his unique Dublin drawl "is there anyone here w/ any Irish in them?.....are there any girls who'd like a little more Irish in them???!!!!" only Phil Lynott could use a line like that and get away w/ it.

Rest in Peace Phil you are sorely missed,slainte

Brass Monkeys & Muppets

I've always had to laugh at the expression "it's cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" but frankly there was very little to laugh about this afternoon on my 8 miler.
I should count my blessings that on a day that was below zero out there I was able to conduct my run an hour earlier than usual.

Thanks in no small part to some crap scheduling(seriously,in a three man department when one person has off why would you grant someone else a day off also??????)I had the prospect of having to do all the spade work on the dock today but rather than get pissy about it I turned it around to my advantage,I'd known for a few days that today was going to be below zero so I knew I had the chance to"have it away on my toes" at 2.30pm instead of 3.15pm and w/ that I was out running at 3.25pm and utilizing the fact that the sun was out,even if it was only 27 degrees.
Tomorrow is another sub zero day but I have the day off w/ Thursday's mile at The Armory on tap so no worries about freezing tomorrow.

As for the muppet comment,I'm sorry to say I work w/ a bunch of muppets,seriously if arseholes were aeroplanes the storeroom would be an airport they are so stupid it's beyond belief....Einstein by name,but not by nature!!!!

In W/ The New

Apologies for no post yesterday, a combination of six hours on the dance floor at Sex Dwarf to celebrate the New Year and then a 12 miler to round out the week at 50 miles meant I was well and truly "Cream Crackered" yesterday afternoon and ended up crashing out by 6.30pm, Happy New ZZZZZZZZZZZ's!!!

Up today by 8 am fully refreshed and batteries recharged to take on the rigours of a whole new week beginning w/ a 10 miler along the extended out and back course on Cobbs Creek Parkway.
It was nice yesterday for a change of scenery to run along the river,of course I'm knackered as all hell and when I got to Locust Point the gates at the railroad tracks were locked due to a CSX freight train so up and down the steps at Walnut St out and back.....just what I needed w/ my butt draggin'!!!
Let's hope when I revisit the 12 miler along the river on Friday the railroad tracks are clear,but if they're not at least I'm won't be coming off a 6 hour stint on the dance floor.....although Friday nite is Duran Duran tribute nite at Sex Dwarf so I would imagine more groovin' by yours truly!!

Trying to set my week to allow for a race and try to get 50 miles in has proved interesting as I also want to get on the track on the weekend for mile repeats and go dancing Friday nite so taking a leaf out of the Barbie playbook(cos Barbie has it all!!!) it's 10 today,8 tomorrow,rest day Wednesday,4 miles on Thursday w/ my race @ The Armory,12 miles Friday,10 miles Saturday and 6 miles on the track on Sunday w/ mile repeats,an ambitious but not unreachable goal.
