Friday Nov 3, 2006

No links or pictures today...to lazy, and kinda late. I'm actually up burning some CDs from iTunes.....only to rip them back on the PC...gotta make them listenable on the ol' XBOX 360, don't ya know...and/or anywhere else I darn well please... That DRM breaks the DMCA, so why shouldn't I? Well, I don't believe I am...under fair use and all...We paid for the music, we're going to listen to it as we wish!

But, anyway, I'll get off my soapbox...

About the run...it'd been over a week, there was the winter storm, a blizzard, if you will...and this week Steve and I were just kinda busy and couldn't get together on a day. I was going to run on Wednesday, with or without him, but I couldn't do it...I just worked right through lunch. So, that left us with the last opportunity on Friday, and since it was about 60 with little wind, we had to get out there, even if just for the 5k we ended up doing.

It started slow and easy, and we talked a lot about work and stuff. When we reached the halfway point (about 13:19 for 1.55 miles, basically) I realised how slow we were really going and when we turned around I also realized we had been going up a hill...so turning around we were now headed downhill, basically all the way back to work, so I started to pick it up. Started at like 8:45-9:00 pace and the last half was about 7:40 pace, with a nice kick at the end, probably closer to 7:10...total time of 25:00 flat, basically. Not bad.

Legs/calves are a bit sore, even a bit still now, but it felt good to go go go! Now, since I'm up at 1AM, I'm not sure if I'll get out to run later today (Sunday)...I may have to go down and take a nap when Summer does.

OK, that's it, gotta finish this CD and get to bed...
