the Mac is back

I am not American
I probably should save my political opinions to myself
But I was raised with great respect to the US of A. So I allow myself to say that if I were to chose, I would vote McCain.

Get off my treadmill!

I made a huge mistake of going to the gym early in the morning (“Early” being 9AM). It was packed! Well for my standards at least. And both of my treadmills were utilized! Argh I was so pissed off. And it didn’t seem like those girls were planning to step off of them. Well I [...]

Run, Runner!

It felt GREAT. I think the fact that I spent a day not running makes me more eager to run so I was just really enjoying it all. Time went by flying.
My legs felt GREAT. No shin splits what so ever (knock [...]

Does running late count as exercise?

I am so behind on my reading I should be ashamed of myself. I know my old geeky high school self is ashamed. Am I a losing anybody?
Here is my “to do” list which falls under  the STUDY category. Speaking of to do lists, I found this gorgeous site that even lets you link it [...]

The reason for a "no-Post" Friday…

…is because I did not run.
I know, I am disappointed at myself as well. But, similar pattern to last week’s, I had to come home right after work for cleaning, then off to the brother and sister’s school for Parents-Teacher Conference (no, I am not the parent, but I am just as good as it [...]

I am a sucker for running

I woke up this morning and told myself I will be taking it easy. As in, very limited running for the day. I really felt like I have done more than enough distance + speed wise this week so I could take it easy (avoiding a potential injury, knock on wood!).
Bear with me the [...]

Trying to go the distance

This has to be quick.
I have 20 more minutes left of Prison Break’s latest episode and there is no way I am keeping Miller or Purcell waiting any longer.
I had a blast on the treadmill today. I actually broke my own rules and set out for 8.5 KM @ 10 km/hour. How do ya’ll go [...]
