Nothing really much to talk about. It’s late and I gotta get up early.
I will say that I have felt more productive lately. Mostly work stuff, but other stuff a bit as well. Trying to get more into the habit of doing it TODAY. Hard habit.

So I did the Daily15 workout from week before last where I had to do squats and pushups. I ended up doing something ridiculous like 225 squats. My legs hurt for a week. Seriously. And what did I do tonight? Well, AFTER running 1.5 miles (with .5 mile warmup and cool down), I did 220 squats (and 165 situps). Bring on the burn!!!

Here’s my run:

Here’s my run for today

Just got back from a run. I won’t say “I’m back into running” quite yet… but I’m getting there.

Tonight was a bit frustrating. I was trying to calibrate the Nike Ipod+ sensor. I did the walking calibration (1.25 miles which is the max, for more accuracy), and that worked just fine. I was a little tired b/c I was walking at a quick pace that whole time (while listening to The Killers’ Hot Fuss). So I decided I would just do the 400m running calibration. One lap around the track, right? So I do one lap. I tell it I am done with the lap and it says something like “Error: Distance ran does not equal calibration distance”. Ummmmmm isn’t that MY job to tell the frickin sensor how long 400m is?!?!?! I figure it was a fluke. I was ready to stop for the night, but I want to get it calibrated. So I switch from the middle lane on the track to the outer lane. I run another lap. SAME DAMN ERROR! I was pissed. I began to doubt whether I was correct in thinking that one lap = 400m. So I just got home, I check online and the INNERmost lane is 400m. I’m pretty impressed that the sensor could tell the middle lane versus the inner lane. In fact, I’m not totally convinced, but I’ll give Nike the benefit of the doubt. I’m going to try to do the running calibration tomorrow.

So, total distance tonight 1.75 miles (1.25 walk, .5 run). Not bad. A good start to get back into it.

I’m working on a nifty idea that I’ll share within the next few weeks.

Oh… and we booked a vacation to Hawaii last night! Andrea is going on July 2nd for a girls trip to Honolulu, Oahu. I am flying to Maui (different island) on the 5th, and then she is flying to meet up with me on the 7th. We’ll have the whole week and fly back on the 13th. I am SUPER excited Can’t wait. We booked everything last night. Except car. I will book that tomorrow through priceline. Gonna read through a book my friend Chris lent me. I’ll post on here the stuff that I wanna see/do. It is definitely going to be a chill vacation though. As much fun as we had in Ireland last year, we packed too much into that week and we were exhausted by the time we came home. Not this time. Anyway, I’ll post more soon.

Other things to post about:

• Tuesday – shittiest day ever
• Physical therapist appointment
