Summer almost upon us...

Zup!!! So the hot and humid season of Summer is almost upon us! My running is suffering already as I have been having a tough time with endurance...I don't know if it's mental or if there is something else...I think it's just a mental block as I love to run but when I get going I am having a tendancy to quit if I am having a bad run instead of working through it.
I'm working on a commision, my first, for someone and will share it with you all once it's completed. I have the idea down, the practice drawings of what I want are coming along and soon I can get working on the final. In the meanwhile this one took place as I was on the phone talking with someone. Just letting my mind go into doodle mode and liked it enough that I cleaned it up to share. Maybe that's what I need to do with my running just relax and not beat myself up. Hope you like it!
He reminds me of an actor but I can't place a name on it...any ideas? Cheers!

It was a good run...

So this past Friday my wife and I ran the Twilight 5k race in Charlotte. It's a nice race cutting through the streets of the beautiful city in the uptown area. 1177 people ran it and my wife and I cam in 763 and 764. Now you need to know that this is the first time my wife has beaten me.

Our times were:
763 Donna: Chiptime 31:08 Guntime 31:19 Pace 10:05
764 Michael Chiptime: 31:09 Guntime 31:19 Pace 10:05

She's been slowly getting to the point where she can run the distance and the pace and this time proved it. Kudos to her I say!

Now it's my turn to push it to the next level. I'm not one of those fast slick runners, but instead, with the build of a powerlifter, just slow and steady. I can get a good sprint which is in my advantage at the end of a run. My wife just happens to have great form and awesome speed as well in short distances.

Cheers!
