| Location: Around and about,CA,USA Member Since: Sep 14, 2008 Gender: Male Goal Type: Other Running Accomplishments: Kinda consistently running since 07 Short-Term Running Goals: 5k in 18:00; 10k in 40:00 Long-Term Running Goals: I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter. The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance. Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters. Personal: I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities. Favorite Blogs: |

Did my parent's and sister's taxes, then ran, then finished their taxes. I live it up on my half day off.

On a clear night I can't see the road, but tonight it was dusty and it spread the meager lights from the flightline to softly illuminate my way. It also makes dark brown phlegm.

9:20 pace. Officemate left for R&R and will be leaving for good in May; his contract was cut short, despite his stellar performance. Figure it was his stellar pay that did him in. Luckily, I'm underpaid.

Introduced a friend to kettlebells. He's quite a trooper. He keeps coming back for more. When I'm done with him, he'll have no need for doors. He'll just bust through walls like the Kool Aid Man. |

Got in trouble for wearing flip flops today. I know you're not supposed to wear them to work, but walking 50m on the sidewalk from my room to the patio shouldn't cause anyone to freak out.

10:04 pace. The wind kept blowing my headphones off. Headphones, like flip flops, are something else we're not supposed to wear.

10:07 pace. Despite the conditions, I saw a lot of people out running. I felt like a dork though, because I'm the only one who had a neck gator. Maybe they're thinking, "Chicks dig scars." They really should consider that chicks can't see lung scarring.

Interviewed for a stateside job today with the Forestry service. The interview was at 2:15 am my time and was over by 3. I'll find out if they want to go forward in 2-4 weeks.
I couldn't sleep afterward, so I finished packing for my trip to Basrah and went for a run.
I was hoping to see the sunrise, but there was too much haze on the horizon. I really like running at that temperature, but I'm probably not going to get up early again. Unless I get a second interview.
Weekly assessment compared to last week
Pullups: up 3 (3 less than PR)
Situps: up 8 (7 away from my goal, 9 away from my PR)
Pushups: up 15 (quit with 9 seconds left, 20 less than PR)

Ran around the base in Basrah. It smelled like garbage. Hot garbage.
8w/v(pull10,sit25,push20)
While in the gym, a man came in and hogged up most of the situp area using one of those as-seen-on-TV ab gadgets. When I had to do situps, I had to squeeze in next to him. Apparently the garbage smell was him. Sorry about blaming you Basrah. |

A bunch of eights, except for the pace.
Tried and did not like the p90x system's kempo workout. Too repetitious. Too much punching and kicking air. Worked up a good sweat though. I'd rather do something else like pushups, pullups and situps. Which are also repetitious, but they aren't annoying like the guy doing jumping jacks saying, "We're really jacking now!" I suppose I didn't mind doing stuff over and over, I just thought the instructor was a dork. |

p90x upper body - I liked this, despite the instructor calling bent over rows "heavy pants".
Went into ab ripper right after. Did better this time.
Then participated in a chess tournament with different rules. 1 move, 3 pushups.
3 games and 270 pushups later - I took second place. Out of two people. He got a tee shirt. I got arms of jello. | | Comments(14) |
