 - Okay, how cute is my cat? Seriously. If I was that adorable, I'm pretty sure I could conquer the world while everyone was busy being spellbound by my charm.
- On Monday, Nick and I started what will be a very busy 90 days: we started the P90X program. The workout schedule requires an hour every day, and that's not so bad. I did the plyometrics workout yesterday, and it was actually easy compared to Jillian's. Or, maybe my cardiovascular health is pretty darn awesome after eight months of regular running. (I guess that's a valid reason, too…but I usually cry during Jillian's workout because she takes me to the end of my energy reserves until I have nothing left). One thing that really impresses me about Tony Horton's instruction is that he seems to care a bit more about good form, telling the viewer to do as many reps as they can with good form and then stop. My knees thank him most graciously.
- My Nike+ Sportband ate my 10-mile run last Wednesday. I was really bummed out. I worked with the support techs at Nike who were excellent with customer service, but sadly unable to get my run to transfer to my Nike+ account. 10 has become my easy long distance, as long as I have 80 minutes or so to give to it. But losing this run was particularly rough because I knew I would have to cut down on the long runs with the P90X program. Two days later, I ran 15 miles which thankfully tracked. This was the LONGEST I have ever run, and I was so impressed that I was able to do it that I almost cried. I am running 3 miles a day to keep up with my mileage goal for the year while doing the P90X program.
- Nine weeks! I only have NINE WEEKS of school left. My last professor was really nit-picky, the kind that didn't like to give full points on anything. We've all had them. I was psyched to see my final grade, and that I scored 100% on all of my final week assignments. Go me. I am now in a pretty fun class on advertising and creative strategy, which is right up my alley. Even so, these nine weeks are going to go very slowly. I know this because it seems like I've been celebrating 10 weeks left for the last month (when it has only been seven days).
- I'm a little impressed with myself that I remembered how to do unordered lists in HTML without looking it up...what has it been since I've used one? Eight years? It's the little things…
Too bad my brain doesn't store more useful information than UL and LI codes.
