Worthless post
May. 23rd, 2007 07:43 amYesterday I rediscovered that running 5 miles slow does not make you any better at running 2 miles fast. Didn't stop, but my time was awful. Still, for me it was a good belly-losing workout on a day I didn't used to work out. I may have removed 500-1000 calories from my daily regiment based on cut-out foods and the increase in exercise. Since a lb is about 3500 calories, that nets me 1-2 lbs lost a week and I only really needed to kick 5. We'll see if my reality meets my math. Fattish or not, I'm in great shape so this is a good thing. When I'm healthy again, I'll eat more junk and continue the cycle :)
While stretching after my run, I saw our neighborhood chipmunks humping! You thought they were cute just running around and having a home by the door of your condo? Well they're even cutuer when they run and hump and play. I swear I saw them trading places...figures that I find the bisexual switching chipmunk couple. Squee!
Came in this AM and realized that the reason I've been cold at my desk the last few days is some bunghole took down the cardboard I put over the vent that blows right into my cube. 23 minutes later I have crafted another cardbaord vent blocker, and a series of schemes to continue the war if provoked again: 1) more cardboard, 2) roll paper into small sticks to get it inside the vent, then expand to block air flow (the vent is sealed), 3) crunch or yank off the source of the vent feed (this has the advantage of not being visually obvious, but I want my dissonance to show, hence this is #3).
See you at chronos this week - should be packed due to the holiday weekend. Hope they don't have something stupid planned - goth prom in chronos? Ugh.
