It's Hard to Keep from Fallin' Apart

I'm over the hill, out of sorts, under the gun and off schedule. I did so well for about 10 months — regular running, three times a week, minimum 3 miles. I averaged 13 miles a week through the fall and winter, even when we were blasted by a blizzard back in February.

But life has been taking its toll these past few months and self-discipline has been elusive. And good Lord, I think it's only going to become more difficult. I miss cold-weather running. Cooler temps in the fall and early spring were wonderful, but today brought an early taste of summer — at 7 p.m. no less. It was rather sultry out there. Hopefully the impending deluge will cool things off a bit.

Time to check out some new music again. I found another homemade CD today — rap again — this one by D.J. Acosion. OK, a quick Google reveals his MySpace and Facebook links. I listened to about 6 seconds of one of his "songs" on MySpace (DJ Acosion A.K.A. Mr. Saturday). I guess I'm too ignorant to figure out the title of whatever is in the MySpace player (maybe it's just a Mac/work computer system issue). Click either link above and you can check it out for yourself.

Today's Stats
Temp: 83 degrees F
Distance: 3.6 miles
