In “honor” of the “judicial kook, the “good” doctor and myself decided to pretend we where cruising in the Caribbean and run on the “ship”. Thus suffering through 10 miles of hill intervals on the treadmill. I hope this is what the judicial kook was up to this morning.
I thought I’d be a nice guy and inform the shop teacher last night of the doctors and mine agenda. He was less than impressed if you can imagine. He did throw down a few well deserved “put downs” in his religious, mid-west way. Oh well.
After I left the house this morning and started to walk to the health club, I realized that we had made the right choice. It wasn’t that cold out, but dang, the roads were solid ice. Enough said.
The ole boy had to come into the club and poke us a little fun as he headed out Thane.
The doctor was right on schedule, 10 minutes late. But with good reason. He was choosing his son’s high school for next year. Well, lets see, a brand new school with no sports. NOT. The boys will be attending the old school that “works” well, sorta.
The doctor and I pushed through a couple of 8,9, and 10 degree intervals then turned the heat up for the last part of a ten mile run. Ya, lots of fun.
The entertainment isn’t in running on the treadmill, but what takes place at a health club in the early a.m. hours.
The loudest person in Juneau and he’s not a kook. Big smile for Sonic Boom. He’s building the new high school. He works out at the club in the morning. Unfortunate for us, we know him and he had to come over to us and ask us if it were too “cold” outside to run. Then he had to bring up the “anti-kook”, like they were old buddies. “He’s probably out there right now”. We informed him that he was already done and at work like he should be so leave us alone and go AWAY!
As we finished our run, the shop teacher and the pit bull trainer came sauntering into the club. The shop teacher in his sheepish voice explained how he went “face” first into the pavement/ice running surface this morning. He said he was well into a good ripping secession on the two wimps on the treadmills when he went down. The only bummer of not witnessing the fall, is not being there to laugh out loud at him. Oh well. We will run “outside” on Tuesday. Once every year on the treadmill is doable for a kook run.

Why don’t you simply admit that you were looking at “Tallent” in spandex and tight clothes. There was hardly any ice at all. Nothing anywhere in the word compares to Juneau Health Club “Tallent” at 5.30 am.

I know the dentist will say no excuses, along with the shop teacher’s pound wood. At 5 a.m. I was trying to imitate other network geeks on an F/V LeConte in Auke Bay. I did not make the lookie lews club action or pavement swimmers run in the a.m. I will admit I was week for a brief moment and almost gave into the treadmill in the cave with sonic boom stereo. Just for extra, none of the Kooks Village People YMCA, Rush Limpoo, Pit Bulls are cute club, or KTOO owls’ lover club crap is allowed airspace in the cave. But Scoutdog was up for a nice easy run from the cave towards town and back. I managed to take a detour without any verbal trashing and ran on the ice from Pioneers Home to Jacks P&H (Twin Lakes). Scoutdog did great at my slow pace, however he did not care for the doggie booties. I might suggest the booties for the shop teacher.
