Not much to update.
I ran a bit this week. I know I ran 3 miles one of the days during the week, but can’t remember which one. And Saturday I ran for an hour. Then Sunday I did cardio for an hour.
I found that the TV shows at the gym suck. One TV is always on news (o’bama/billary/mcdo-over, etc. etc. ad nauseum), another is always on sports (gag) and the third is on the food network (like us fatties need that). All the speaker jacks on the machines produce so much static in the headphones, you have to crank to the volume to hear the bad shows. I had thought it was going to be nice having 3 giant plasma TV’s there, and it turned out to be worse than the small tube TV’s they used to have.
One nice thing I saw today was that they now have new cybex stuff including the captain’s chair! My old favorite exercise that produced my former abs that you could stand on. I’d like to get back to some light weight training again. I’d like to dump the fat so it makes it worth while to strengthen those abs again too. I have plans to help this. :)
Tonight I went to a Cinco de Mayo party. I actually drank a beer, which was kinda coincidental. The last time I drank a beer was when that linked picture above was taken. Beer still tastes as miserable as ever. I always expect it to be different but its not. I guess I’m always hoping it will taste like fruit juice. Bleh. I drank to fit in. How very pathetic of me. See what I’ve become?
I signed up for the Boilermaker. I signed up for New Haven. I hope I’m not being too optimistic about either of them. I have alot going on this summer and I hope it isn’t going to kill running for me. We’ll see. Anyone else going to these?

Good job on those runs you did. The only thing on my gym’s tv’s are local news the Ellen talk show. Talk about torture having the one of your tv’s on the Food Network! I’m w/ ya about the beer. I can’t stand the taste of it either & refuse to drink it. But no you’re not pathetic for wanting to fit in..;-)

I’m not doing either but I am glad to see that you are getting back to it. Keep it up.

Neither of those for me this year, though I will be running Fairfield and Newport. So kinda sandwiching your New Haven race.

I’m not really sure what the Captain’s chair is, but for a kick you should check out this infomercial of the Hawaii Chair. You work out your abs while sitting all day, it’s hilarious.

You should petition for something intelligent like Discovery channel.
Beer has carbs! I like carbs.
Dump fat. Don’t drink beer.
Happy Anniversary. I hope this is a lucky year for you.
