10 Miler

A few pictures I took along the way.

1. I tuck my key under my shoelaces. I know there has to be a better way.
2. I tried out this drink from Odwalla --> “Protein Monster.” I cut it with soya milk because it was too sweet!
3. I see a Ferris wheel in the mall parking lot.
4. On the first lap, there were a lot of runners. I figure they were with some running group – not a race, as they had no race bibs on. A few had CamelBaks on – so I guess they were out for awhile.
5. My little white truck – to take me home!

Thankful For:

1. No rain.
2. Seeing other runners – I run alone.
3. The cheery disposition of the RunRunLive podcast. Thanks Chris
4. The Americano on my way home.
5. My body – for taking me again, on another journey.

Runners Love Coffee

The #1 drug for runners – caffeine! (Well, for some, after Advil.)
Over the years I’ve tried many different methods of making coffee at home. It seems like I’m always searching for that best Cup of Joe.
This is especially important now, since I am allowed only one cup a day. (Heart arrhythmias...)
(Years ago I use to drive over the border to Seattle for coffee – home of the first Starbucks.)
Right now the best home brew is what I make with the portable Melitta cone and fresh ground beans of course!

Red eye: A cup of drip coffee with one shot of espresso in it. Also known as a slingblade, a depth charge, a shot in the dark, an Al Pacino, an autobahn, a "Canadiano,” a quantum or a hammerhead.

How do you get your fix?
