(per twitter) session #40 (wow!): 3.3mi / ~50 minutes, cooldown, and some upper-body machine time. That's a really slow 3.3mi time for me, and it's because I kept thinking I would cool off and hit the Cybex equipment... but when I had cooled off, I felt like I hadn't done justice to the cardio portion of my workout, so I stepped the pace back up and got hot and sweaty all over again. At first I thought I was just going to do 30 minutes, cooldown and hit the machines. So I did a lap at 7.0mph, cooldown,... (...more)
Friday night into Saturday I got thoroughly fucking disgusted with all the people in my FB friendlist posting nasty statuses about how anyone who doesn't like "merry christmas" can "go home".

Warm... (...more)

Today I learned one of the former receptionists passed away recently. She was there a couple years, but eventually her alcohol addiction became a liability on the job. Word has it by the time she died she had more or less stopped eating, and was fueled primarily by alcohol. She was 51. Sunday I was thinking about things I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving. My health, because although I haven't lost much weight, my cardiopulmonary fitness is probably better than it's ever been in my adult life. My home, b... (...more)
