Day 5 and 6

On Friday I took it easy, just a short run to let my legs recover a little. I am really trying to ease myself back into a solid routine without getting hurt. I especially have to be careful doing this because of the lack of non-paved trails here in Naperville, IL. I can't wait to get back home where I know the loops and trails, and where I don't have to pay a membership to take my dog to the dog park so she can be off leash, what a load of crap that is. Guess what Naperville, I still let my dog off leash, I just do it at a non-dog park, so she can run and chase her frisbee.
Friday night I was listening to the White Sox game and drinking a few beers, the game turn out ugly for my Sox, and the beer made me decide to sleep in Saturday morning.

So this morning (Saturday) I woke up, relaxed, ate breakfast, watched a movie, got a haircut, and now I am sitting at a local coffee house enjoying a delicious brew typing away. Coffee makes me happy and the caffeine can give me a little pep for a future workout. This afternoon I will go for another six miler, my goal is to stay at 8 minute pace, maybe picking it up the last mile. One thing that I have majorly been trying to focus on is my stride as much as I can. When I am tired I use my arms, you would be surprised how much your arms can help you. I don't know how well known it is, but your legs naturally want to keep up with your arms, so pump your arms when your tired, they can help you get to the finish line.

I apologize for being unable to tell you about the end results of my run this afternoon, but I do not have the internet at home currently, so hopefully I will be able to fill you in tomorrow. And by the way Alzheimer's affects not only memory, but also may cause the person to become anxious or aggressive. It cause the person to completely regress, it is a terrible thing to bare whiteness to.
