Well what can i say, the drive is gone. After several weeks of difficulty with my knee and a lack of funds to seek the help needed to recover, this is quickly becoming a lost cause.
Unless a miracle knee surgery while I sleep (and don't realize and wake up), this post will have to change format.
Until then...

The drive is back!
Well, as the title of this post states, the drive for the run is back, maybe its not a F1 race kind of drive, but a leisurely Sunday drive. But the important thing is I'm driving (running) again.
I started a few weeks, ok just one week, ago. I decided to try my old one mile time.
Honestly, it was too bad. I did an 8min mile, almost 2min slower. All you runners out there will say that's not very good. Actually i lost 2min on my mile in 12mths. Well, you are all correct. I did! I lost my pace and stamina. My HR jumped to 180's BPM alot fatser then i was used to. I would normally max out at 184 (ish!) during a 400m sprint at about 4.5 to 5min mile. So needless to say, i have some ground to make up.
I'm sorry, who said that... I heard something from the back of the classroom. My motivation? My brother asked if his time was good, and it was better then mine now, but not then.
He's looking into the Nike+ Human Race in NYC on August 31st 2008.
I won't be able to make it, because i have friend coming in from Edmonton, Ab. that weekend to visit.
But i will do my nest to keep you all posted on my new runs/drives.
