Deeper than the Surface

1- I experienced more pain while shopping at Safeway for one hour than I did running for 15 minutes and doing random calisthenics for the same amount of time.

2- I always feel like the more my blood is moving the less pain I experience.

3- My knees were tight before I ran.

4- My knees were not tight after I ran and stretched.

5- Tightness equates to some level of pain.

6- The absence of tightness equates to higher levels of painfreeness.

I really had fun working out today on lunch. It's so different than the Yoga workout, and I can't deny that I love it. Yoga is fantastic, but so are my old favorites. Even if it's in the gym for now. Later on I might migrate out to Gilman - but again. Patience and first things first. And if I am forced to do treadmill workouts, I may still have to find a way to budget one into my late 2009 plan somehow. Because I hate running with co workers amiss. They piss me off.
Especially mister arrogant runner guy that I work with. He's competitive and a jacktard. I was just praying he would be off the treadmill by the time I finished warming up on the elliptical. And to my good fortune, he was. He only said, as he left, "oh it IS you! Hi!" and that was it. It was downright pleasantry and nothing else behind it.

I was so relieved that he only passed on minute #4, and he didn't try and bug me or make any rude comments.

Thank the gods.
In other good news; I have re-partitioned my Acer 6930 (Jim commented that it has a 69 in it) - and am now in the middle of my new Ubuntu install. This makes me happy, because Ubuntu rocks the house.

Well, confound it!
My Ubuntu updates fubared something in my install.
I'll be needing to fix that...
Shoot.

:P

Blargity.

I've had a wonderful time switching my system from Windows to Ubuntu 7.10. I am thinking of playing at home by bringing up an Ubuntu 7.10 Server next... think of the possibilities.
Sides. If I harrass herne51 enough maybe we can have a playdate and I could learn from his skillz.
It's been inspiring for me to take on a change. Giving me personal projects to supplement the idea that work has been... the same as it always is. I've been running as much as I can during the week. Last week was a 5 of 7 days exercise week.
I am hoping to do the same this week. CROSSES FINGERS!

This week has not been too bad. The boss has been out in a conference, and I have caught up on my work so far. I am hoping within the hour I will be able to leave so I can get a run in before Mel's surprise party this evening at Claim Jumper. My co workers invited me out (Tim and Tim) for lunch at Las Margaritas and it pretty much ate my lunch hour when I had planned to try and go running. That's okay.

I am sipping an energy drink to try and liven up my brain so I'll be motivated to bolt out of the office, get suited, and drive up to HighPoint way to do a quick trailrun. Change it up a bit from my usual... (Sunset to Front To Gilman back to Front back to Sunset and back home.) I do a nice little trail run around the bus trail and it's pretty neat after I run up the gravel road that you take to GET to the bus trail. Works nice for some incline work.
I saw my sister yesterday, she has been trying to convince me yet again to do synchro ice skating. I am concerned about time budgeting and such – but we'll see.
More to write but not enough brainpower. Drats.This will have to do.
