Let me tell you one thing about being alone in your house...it's fun and not fun at the same time. I mean no wife telling you to clean up and kids bothering you when you're watching the final laps of the F1 race...dishes could be piled up high, clothes need not be in the laundry hamper...but then, after all that, it hits you.....you are damn alone. and yes...
it's not also fun...i miss the noise...the voice of my wife telling me to pick up the socks that i just left dangling on the chair...the sounds of my daughters talking to each other...from the second floor bedroom which you could hear all the way downstairs...
the warm body that sleeps next to you in your bed...i have a king sized bed where i used to occupy about 1/4 because the wife would take up 3/4 of the whole thing....but now...it's so vast and open it's like sleeping in the middle of the sahara...very cold at night.
i have no one to fight with over the TV i actually run out of shows to watch and that includes shows that recorded to the DVR while i was out or sleeping...
it's funny because i was married very early...around 21..(me and the wife will be celebrating our 10th year this december)...never really had the time to go out and be a single dude, i was fresh out of college and there were times when i would think..."what would it be like if i wasn't married?" and this period of time has given me that experience...and maybe because i got so used to having my wife with me always...i don't find the single life really entertaining...it's actually more mundane. When my family was here i wouldn't know what would happen every night i would go home...we might all watch TV, or maybe in the spur of the moment go out to dinner, watch a movie, have a fight :), right now i KNOW what's going to happen....
wake up.... goto work (boring).... run at the park after work.....go home.....cook some dinner.....watch TV.....go upstairs....watch more TV and go on the web......sleep while the TV is on....REPEAT THE NEXT DAY.
Good thing this is a temporary situation...

Outlet Mall..
OK, so i there's a new outlet mall in Houston...saves all of us the 120 mile trip to san marcos...and with the price of gas nowadays...this leaves us with more money to buy stuff we don't really need.
So i had to get some new running shoes, the ones i have are over a year old and it's making my knees hurt...so i decided to see if i could grab a pair.
but the greatest thing that amzes me....is how economist would say the the USA is in a recession...when.....
people are lining up in the middle of the midday sun....just to buy Coach bags. Nice.
Ow BTW i did get some nice adidas shoes..it was on sale for $49.95 :D
yay capitalism. :D

Ran today at Bear Creek Park
the run was good....4 miles in the park's 2 mile jogging trail.... saw a bunch of different people ( i don't often see people running see i usually do this in my subdivision...) ..
anyway...
let's see...
there..was the normal jogger and runners....
some kids on bikes with their parent's walking behind....
old people...
fat people....good for them at least they're doing something about their health....
and the most annoying one....the cellphone takers....i mean if you're walking around the loop at snail's pace....and you're yapping on the phone...you're not getting any exercise....the only muscle you'll develop are you're jaw muscles....please.
there was one interesting one......a black lady...was power walking....the first time i passed her she was praying...loud. you could hear the actual words...she was praying for herself....i was thinking maybe she was sick and besides doing some exercise was praying for some divine intervention.
but...the second time i passed her...i heard her say..."save him Lord, save his soul"...and i was like wow....she was also praying for everyone that was in that place...made me smile...and I whispered a "thank you" to her.

On the FLIP side...
since i have alot of time to kill ...i'm going to use this time (3 months) to really get into training.
i rode the bike this afternoon an easy 10 miler.....tomorrow i'll start my half marathon training.
and maybe next week i'll join a saturday group ride...what else am i going to do? slouch in my house and eat ice cream?

Loud Silence
OK this morning i took the wife and kids to the airport....they went home to the Philippines to visit my mother-in-law who is sick...
i'm left here in the house...and damn, the silence is deafening.
when they were here i wouldn't even have time to type this...let alone hear myself talk..but now i can't even think of stuff to do short of scrubbing the floor with a toothbrush.
someone please tell me it gets better...i miss my wife and kids so much.
