Wake up weight- 165 Looks like I went the wrong direction today, but I feel stronger today than I have the past week. I guess that's good.
AM
10 minutes elliptical
upper body weights- I'm starting to put up heavier weights with more ease. That felt good.
30 minutes elliptical
Usually on Thursday afternoons I go up to our office in Bullhead City, but they don't need me today. I just found out yesterday, so right now I'm only scheduled through noon here in Lake Havasu City. I'm sure we'll have a few last minute patients call and be happy to get in today, but I'll probably get done with work early today. I'm dreaming a fun exploration run throught the desert this afternoon.
PM I was able to get away from the office around 2. I had my running gear with me so I headed straight to the desert. I changed when I got there and discovered I had forgotten my Garmin. What the heck, I wore my nice dress watch and decided to run out for 30 minutes then come back. I have never run out there on that old dirt road before. For a bit I had to run in a wash, but luckily I got back on a dirt road. At 30 minutes I turned around and headed back. After about 10 minutes on the return trip I heard this load huffing noise. I looked around and saw a wild burro up ahead by the road. The closer I got the loader it got and it started moving around. It was close enough to the road that I stopped and started walking. It continued to get loader, so I turned around and went back a bit. I sat down on a rock and watched the burro for about 5 minutes. It just stood there and watched me and randomly made the load burro noise. I decided I couldn't wait there all day so I grabbed a couple fist sized rocks for protection and started walking down the road. The burro made it's noises and moved around a bit, but let me pass without charging me. I finished up my run having run a bit more than an hour. I guess around 7 miles. It was fun, but I can do without any more mean burros.
