I was over served. It’s not my fault. Why would someone keep giving me beer when I need to stop because I’m running in the morning? Went to The Irish Snug last night and had a great time. But, I was over served. This morning I ran a 5K in Boulder, The Panicking Poultry and although I didn’t run too bad, I was disappointed. I was shooting for under 24 minutes, but I ended up at 24:30. I started out great, but I think it was too fast. My first mile was 7:30 and it was uphill! I had planned to do 8:00 the first mile knowing that the hill would slow me down a bit, and then gradually speed up as the race went along. But I think that I blew my wad that first mile, and it was all I could do to finish in a respectable time. Oh well. The race benefited a good cause, MS, and it was a beautiful day in Boulder.

Just Thinking Out Loud
You can’t beat the weather here in Colorado. Sunny most of the time and this Sunday will be 75 degrees. But then a week later, we could have a foot of snow. All the ski resorts are open now so you could actually go skiing in the morning, and then play golf in the afternoon.
You can’t beat the number of breweries here in Colorado. I think there’s like a million of them. Diane and I are officially beer snobs now. Coors Light? Blah! Bud? Yuck! Give me some Hop Devil anytime.
You can’t beat the mice here in Colorado. No really, you can’t beat ‘em or do anything to them. There is one species that is actually on the endangered list. But if your homeless, get your ass out of here.
You can’t beat the time difference here in Colorado. Monday Night Football is on at 6:30 and I can stay up and watch the whole thing! Okay, maybe at least until the third quarter.
You can’t beat the whole view of the Rocky Mountains. Some days it just doesn’t seem real. It seems more like a “sofa painting“. You know what I mean. A big ole painting that goes perfect above the sofa.
Just thinking out loud.
I was diagnosed with MS about 4 years ago and I am one of the lucky ones. I don't have too many problems associated with it, and the disease has actually slowed down. I took up running 3 years ago just to see if I could do it. So far I've run 3 marathons in a year and a half.
