runners paradise

As I've talked about before Allison and I have started running. We are on week four of our running. We haven't been so great with week two and three thought. We ran three times in those two weeks. That's half of what we're suppose to run. So we only completed two weeks in our couch to 5k program. Today we started back on our regular schedule for week three. We only missed one week, not to bad.

The run was awesome. We were actually doing it. I was feeling really good about myself and what I was doing. I really never have been a runner despite my father telling me the McLean's have running in their DNA. Okay he never said it like that, but he did say we were runners. Most of my siblings were in track in high school, I just never seemed to care about running. I rather be flipping burgers and making money during high school. So I'm feeling really awesome about myself and then during our finally 3 minute jog rep I tripped. I took a great fall like Humpty Dumpty. I had run just over two minutes in the last rep and was looking for a completion of the todays workout. So I didn't finish the run. My left hand is really tore up. I had to cut skin away and wash it out. It looked nasty. My left knee was tore up a little, but not as bad. That cleaned up really easy. So let's check out my battle wounds preclean up.






P.S. On a awesome side note someone at Hastings screwed up. When I went into the store today to pick up Mystery Society, one of the best new comics out there I found Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour on the self for sale. Not a big deal except it doesn't come out for another week. Someone accidentally put it on the self when they were not suppose too. I was so happy, now I've read the entire series and go see the movie in August without trouble. Thank you Hasting Employees for being stupidly awesome. Sincerely, Michael.

update on the life and times of michael mclean

Life has been full of craziness lately. Well mostly just working tons of hours and sleeping very little. On the plus side Allison and I have finally started jogging. That took a lot longer to get started then I thought it would. We found a great running program on Cool Runnings, I know like the movie. So it's this program for couch potatoes like me to train to run a 5k in nine weeks. Day one down. So hopefully in nine weeks I'll be able to run a 5k. My legs are totally sore but it's only the first day.

On a plus side I've been running my webcomic for seventeen posts! I know it's pretty cool to think that the I've got seventeen posts up for my comic up. Ed the Business Warrior comic is going strong with a ton of comics still to go. The comic is strong and awesome.

Life is good. Today is my eighth months anniversary with Allison too. I know not a huge anniversary, but still important to me. It's awesome to think that I've been married for eight months. Life is excellent. Even with long hours at work, life is good because my wife is excellent.
