Another decent week down. I didn't get my cross training in this week, but I got three good runs. Here's my run for today:
Another beautiful day for a run. It was about 50 degrees and cloudy. I think I'm up to about 135 miles for the year, which feels pretty good. No news on the weight front as I've decided to step off the scale for a while. I am noticing my clothes fitting better and a general improvement in energy. I'm looking for runs to do this year. I looked at a schedule around here and I can't really decide on a run to do. There's a 5k in my neighborhood in a month or so, I may do that and then start on the 10k training schedule and see what happens. I do plan on doing the San Antonio Marathon (I'll be running the half-marathon) in November. It'll be a "Rock N Roll" marathon this year, which should be fun. I'm also planning on participating in the World Wide Half Marathon this year. If you've ever thought about doing a race, this is one to consider. It's free and people will be running in it from all over the world. There is also a "Kick the Couch 5K" if that is more of your distance.
So, this week I went to Whole Foods to do some shopping. I hadn't been in a while, but I wanted to see what it would be like to buy most of our groceries from there. I was mainly interested in the produce, but since I was there I got some of their meat as well. So, this is my question if there is anyone out there. Is it a good thing to buy meat that has never been given antibiotics, has no artificial growth hormones, and is allowed free range the majority of its life? I heard an interview on NPR a couple months back about this subject, so I'll have to go back and look for it, but I remember the person talking about the difference even between cage-free chickens/eggs and free-range chickens. So, if you have any thoughts about the subject I'd enjoy hearing them. Given the choice and equal price (without any research done), I'd choose the meat from Whole Foods. The real question for me would be how much of a premium would I be willing to pay in order to buy this meat/poultry.

i like my burritos to be free range, oh and also my sundaes, and blizzards and also my cheese burgers; nothing sadder than a caged & cooped up cheese burger; that's basically why I am voting for Obama- free the cheese burgers!-change we can believe in!
holy crap slow down on the mile outputtage! So, I'm basically behind you just 150+ miles on the year...I'll try to catch up today or tomorrow, or next week-right after I down this free range chicken sour creme deluxe double decker deep fired wrapped in a pancake burrito.
seriously, keep up the inspiring journey!
Chris - You need to try this thing that people are doing. Strap a microphone to your chest and go running. Then start talking about whatever you feel like and then edit into a podcast. I think it'd be hilarious
yes, real funny...huff, yakkkk, haf yak huf yak (i can hear it now)...i'm getting very motivated, however, to run again. it's been too long. i was doing really well until it got so freaking cold. much colder than this texan boy is used to. so i need to get the right attire, something to keep my ears,noes and unmentionables warm...
