"Hi, Hi, Hi, Beautiful Sunday"

"This is my,my, my beautiful day"....Daniel boone.(the band, not the man)

It was a great day overall. My run was one of the most peaceful I have had and I almost dare to say "easy". It's very encouraging to feel that way just 2 days after a tough,long, bike/run workout. I ran 30 kms in 2 hours 42 minutes, and I mean it was easy!! I was over 2 hours before my heart rate went over 140. My little spark of 2 days ago blossomed into a small flame today. I also did my weight training within an hour of returning from my run. That was a bit tougher but again I think it is really helping me. I still don't have an answer to my pool struggles but I will find it.

As to spending Easter Sunday out on the roads instead of in church, that's not actually the case. My wife and I have declared that we belong to the "Church of the Great Outdoors". As of now I think we are the only members but please feel free to join us. There are no regular services, and no charges, fees, or tithes. We don't even have a collection plate. Oh and you can listen to your i-pod, wear whatever the hell you like, and sing any song that suits your fancy.

I wish to dedicate day 207 to my high school history teacher, Charles(Chuckie) Peppler, who once gave me a pair of hand me down track shoes in which I ran my one and only 5 minute mile. He also let me listen to the 72 Canada/Russia hockey games during history class!
