Kinda consistently running since 07 

Short-Term Running Goals:

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.

Ran around the base in Basrah.  It smelled like garbage.  Hot garbage.

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.

10:51 pace. 

8:40pm; 88 F; 8% humidity; 8 mph winds

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.

p90x yoga then plyometrics.  I cheated on both.  Bigtime with the yoga.  Mediumtime with the plys.

p90x abs. Minor cheating. Major discomfort.
