Nearing the 50 Marker

Guilty is one way of saying it. Having last posted April 16. I know this mileage is wrong and its sources questionable but hey, most of the family is guilty of this and I guess I am no better. I have a couple 2 mile walks with Shelley, a 12 mile bike ride, two 3 mile bike rides with 1 mile runs, and a 3 mile ride with a 3 mile run. Then their are a couple of 2 mile runs in Veneta each time I visited Sharon & Ken. This is all on top of some treadmill miles which I think came out to be 2.25 miles twice. Then three times the 2.5 feed lot run and the 3.8 triangle which I rarely use anymore because the neighbors lab follows me home. Then there are four 3 mile grave yard runs with the early morning sun in the eyes coming back down the hill into town. Lastly but not least there are three 2 mile jags about town. Now as to the 50 marker? Well August I will be 50 and then it should get easier....you know all is down hill. I have this question in my head, "why do I run?", to which I always answer because I still can. Some day my miles will be walking or biking only but today I can still stride out and run sooo....

I guess all this is adding up to something like:

2 miles walking
21 biking
43 running
