freaky friday...

Yes, sports fans, I did get going this morning. Mapmyrun says I went 1.8 miles...came home and had a two egg omelet with fat free ham, pepper jack & fresh spinach.

I'm ready for the orgy of excess to which I will surely succumb tonight. The boss isn't feeling NYE right now, so who knows how the evening will play out. I did complete w1d3 of my 4th attempt at c25k, and for that i am satisfied...for now.

tuesday morning, coming down

I got some unsettling news monday night and had a couple vodka drinks, and then a couple lager drinks....and so Tuesday morning workout didn't happen.

Came home at noon on wednesday and went for a run. 1.6 miles per mapmyrun. Any caloric benefit was totally negated by the fantastic homemade pizza that the missus whipped up while watching the illini football and basketball games....all washed down by the top deck of a dirty thirty.

A nice lady at the bank commented that she had seen me out running. I explained that I usually try to keep it to the back streets, but Main and Front streets were about the only two in town that hadn't been ice packed. I assume I look like a walrus on land as I'm waddling along, so I try to do it as privately as I can.

Tonite there's a party at the Griffsters...then tomorrow NYE and Saturday is our annual fish fry and football fiesta. I better add a couple blocks to the run tomorrow.

Christmas, inc.

Christmas has come and gone, catching me in it's vapor trail like maverick and goose, in a flat spin from which i'm not sure how to break free, so.......

I went for a run this morning. mapmyrun.com says it was only 1.14 miles, but my body says it was much more than that. Trying to keep ones' balance on icy side roads taxes the quads and core like no one's business and I'm a sore fatty right now.

The children received enough loot to foment a revolution in liechtenstein, but they're pretty well grounded and they appreciated their gifts without seeming entitled so I guess we're doing something right.

Tomorrow I plan on doing some body weight stuff, with a special focus on core and upper body. Results to follow.

catching up

So...it's been almost 5 months since I blogged. Wow.

The new job is terrific. It's got issues and I've had my doubts, but I'm starting to find my niche.
this is the most driven, focused amazing group of students i've had the privilege of serving. they seem so young, but they're dialed in like lasers.
