I wonder if she also told her son to HTFU? Yikes...

    10 laps to cool down -- 5 jogging / 5 walking. I was beat.

    Note

    Even though I worked from home today (which is a 60-second drive to the Rec Center), I still managed to show up to class too late for the warm-up mile. I also ate way too late in the day and had an unpleasant overly full feeling. Dumb.

    I also missed a yoga class on Monday because I couldn't get in gear -- just lingering around at the office reading emails, surfing, and doing stupid stuff. The class was at 7:45 *pm* and I couldn't get there in time. I need to work on some time mangement skills -- specifically, less mindless surfing.

  • Note

    My perennial New Year's Resolution is to eat out less often. But, I figured I certainly couldn't take the time to make dinner tonight if I'm typing up six months' worth of long-overdue RMOC meeting summaries. Super fun. But I'm enjoying some good Indian food right now...

    Note

    It's midnight, and all the meeting summaries are finally typed and posted. DRUDGERY!

    Rock Climbing intervals (indoor) 1:00:00 [3]

    Troy and I went back to the indoor gym. It's been two weeks, and my endurance has already faltered.

    Note

    I wasted a total of about three hours dealing with technical glitches again today. I guess it's not so smart to load 2,000 fonts as shortcuts to a CD that I then take out of the drive... ;-) My laptop wouldn't even boot-up after I did that. I finally got it to boot up after zillions of tries, but I had to delete a bunch of crap out of the registry to fix it. ARGH! Now Im even farther behind on RMOC web projects.

    Note
    slept:6.0 weight:123lbs

    Instead of making planned improvements to the RMOC web site, I ended up wrecking it with a back-end upgrade in early December.

    So, I've spent the past five hours trying to fit it. ARGH! I finally have it back to the same basic functionality it had before the upgrade. But I would much rather have spent that time on adding new features or building the US Champs 2008 web site...

    And now it's so late that I probably won't get up in time for the 8am Louisville group run.

    Not happy with myself right now!!!!!

    Run / Hike tempo 36:42 [3] 3.1 mi (11:50 / mi)
    slept:7.0 weight:123lbs

    I went for an easy jog around the outer loop at Davidson Mesa. The snow was not quite as pleasant and flat as yesterday -- it was hard and lumpy, like running on mini-moguls. I ran into my friend Phil, so he ran with me part of the way. He's a serious triathlete, so I felt obligated to apologize several times for my glacially slow pace...!

    Tuesday Jan 1, 2008 #

    Run / Hike tempo (Jog / Walk) 57:21 [3] 3.6 mi (15:56 / mi)
    slept:6.0 weight:123lbs

    I did my standard loop at Shanahan Ridge / Mesa Trail. The entire loop was snowy, but packed and easy to walk on.
