Ive been going pretty well with the workouts. I had my weight again down in the 69kilo range for a day or two, then had a bad week with junk food and not so much exersize and it kicked straight up to 73 again! Some days i feel really strong on my runs and others everything hurts. The bunyon is an on going pain that even when not running can sometimes be a terrible throbing pain. i try not to take meds for it but sometimes its just too painful.
Mountain biked at the local track last week. First time in about a year. They improved the track for a recent race and its actually not bad now and flows much better. Its still very worn out and the rocks and roots make it leathal if you fall off.
I was taking a shower this morning in the outdoors shower. Id just finished a hard run and wanted all cold water. it took my breath away at first and something flashed in my head. A memory of showers in a Ft Lauderdale backpackers in the 80's. They never had hot water and even with the sunny temps the showers took your breath away. I thought about how I bummed around in those days, (not much different from today) The days consisted of hanging out at the beach then boozing it up at night. I think when i was at the hostel i was making my way down to Key West where i ended up staying and working. Ft lauderdale was also the hostel where I went out drinking with I think an Aussie and we met these English guys that worked on a multi millionares yaught. We came out of a night club and it was so late and we were all so drunk they invited us to sleep on the yaught. In the morning we woke up in the galley on two benches with the sound of the crew chatting and eating around us. After some eggs and bacon we staggered off the yaught to find our car. It was an old peice of shit oldsmobile and it was so funny to drive out past the security in the marina surounded by the cadillacs and rolls royces of the exclusive owners.
