Well i say it more as a joke but i think it’s actually true. Not so much because of the movie but because of the music. As 11 year old i was hooked to guns n roses from the moment i heard it in that film. It was the first single i ever bought. Than discovered lots of similar and ever extremer music, wanted to play it myself. When at 14 my parents reluctantly bought me a drumset, that was it. No more interest in school or future in general. Life was more or less about rock n roll and alcohol, self destruction, party… But am improving now .
9.5 miles this morning. Biggest lesson- get out before the sun does. I forgot over the winter how this desert heat will suck the will to live out of you lol less than 2 weeks till my planned half marathon distance!
I did my last run pre-surgery at like 10am. That was still April. But damn, I also forgot how bad the sun just draws the energy from you and makes it so much harder.
Even in the mornings now when I still get Chief out for his run, I have been dialing it back a half hour earlier every few weeks because I need to. We go at 630am now, and the sun is starting to be too intense then, even. Gonna have to be 6am soon. I think at the height of summer we’re there at 5.
Very summer-like day. Hot and humid! My jeans were too heavy for our morning walk, even, and I sweated like mad, Lupe got winded and panted big time. We are both cooling off in the basement now. I feel like a wimp. But it’s really lovely all the same.
My normal run start time is 4:30. Started at 6:30 today- 10 out of 10 don’t recommend! The last 2 miles were so hard and another thing every direction is different When I started it was perfect then the hwy was hot, turn that way is windy, turn hot again and so forth. It was a struggle run at some points for sure.
Thank you everyone for your very kind comments, I might no be on much anymore but the friends I’ve made and met here and the support I’ve received have got me through some hard times
44 years young today selfie. Clean and sober for a third straight birthday. Wishing I could celebrate but having covid makes it hard. Five days and change isolated now. Gonna try going back to work tomorrow afternoon. Nice to get some birthday wishes from friends and family. Grateful for this forum.
