Run # 429 - The Fred Norris Run

Ran by Sirius' building today in NYC. Saw Fred Norris get out of a cab on his way to work. I said 'morning Fred' and he said 'what's up dude?'

It was pretty cool.

An Update at Long Last - July 2008

What was once a daily (or an attempt at a daily) blog update has now become a monthly update I guess.

That's ok with me as long as the streak continues...which it does.

No big highlights worth mentioning in the last month...I guess a run in Laughlin, Nevada would have to be the most significant jaunt I made.

For the first time during the streak, I had started a run and abruptly had to stop at .75 miles or so because I ran into a guardrail/dead end; so a new mile had to start and it wasn't fun..around 7 pm in Nevada on a June night.

Upcoming highlights abound, however.

I'm in Minnesota again this coming weekend for three runs and then off to New York City...a run in Central Park there should be pretty exciting.

Until then I'm still running in the dreadful AZ heat...run # 421 is set for Sunday, July 13th.

I am alive and so is the streak....

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know dedicated reader.

I am so far behind in updating the blog I'm surprised you still have a reason to live.

One of these years I'm gonna update it so you can read the glory of run # 383, #384, and #385 in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico...including the barbwire incident.

Then there were run's 386 - 391 back in Phoenix, run #392 in Minnesota, and run # 393 in Phoenix again.

Laughlin, Nevada will be the next out of town run I do.

In other news, the SF Marathon has been scratched from my schedule. As I've always said, no headphones allowed, no deal for me.

Run # 382 - The Pre-Mexico Trip Run # 2

A repeat of # 1, an exact duplicate....until I realized I needed to get cash.

So, out of nowhere really, this became the latest/earliest run of the streak.

I started it around 3:30 AM and ran to the bank to use the ATM.

Then I walked to the C-store for a couple of drinks.

Pretty adventurous in my book.

And now it's on to Mexico.

Run # 381 - The Pre-Mexico Trip Run # 1

Tuesday, June 3

Did you miss the dates? I got a lot of reader e-mail complaints so they are back...unless I forget again.

So I'm going to Mexico in about 8 hours at the time of this writing.

Don't want to spend my first day there having to run so I developed a plan.

I'll do Tuesday's run at 11:45 pm...this is it and I just did it.

So tomorrow's run (# 382) will be done around 1 AM or so June 4.

12 minutes for the first run (a hill run)

I'll be interested to see if I do better in a few minutes here.

The blog will be down until I recap runs # 383, #384, and #385, all of which will take place in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Check out the resort. Here is a link.

Thanks for reading.

Run # 380 - The Keisha Run

This one is named after a waitress of mine I once had the pleasure of being served at a local Denny's.

Her name was Keisha (duh) and while running this specific route that night I felt she did a good enough job to earn the naming rights.

So, Keisha, if you ever read this, I hope you're honored.

Run # 379 - The Downtown Phoenix Run

Somewhat of a classic run.

I stopped by the office to lift weights and then tour our beautiful (sarcasm, yes) downtown area.

Ran by a motorhome, a lot reserved for drug dealing, you get the picture.

Also stopped by my friend Vince's loft.

Then I managed to find my way back to the office without incident.

Here's a tip if you're ever bored: go downtown and run around for a while.

It's not boring if you pay attention to the people and sketchy landscape around you.
