Feelin better

Well it looks like my diet is coming to an end.  I felt better yesterday.  I was able to eat some food and even have some post dinner snacks.  I did go to bed extra early to see if I could feel rested for today.  I slept well and didn't have to wake up in the middle of the night to blow my nose.  Woohoo!!  It's the little things although I probably only have 2 more weeks before allergy season starts and then the nose will be covered with a tissue constantly.

I can never remember all the cool things that I want to talk about when I write this blog.  It seems I always forget.  Maybe I should switch to Twitter since it seems to be for ADD bloggers.

After this past weekend, you can almost guarantee that the Friday the 13th franchise will start back up.  42 mil, are you kidding me?  I can't wait to see it.  I might think about going to see it this weekend although I'll probably just stay home and watch TV instead.  Let's see spend $15 on a movie and popcorn or just stay home for free.  Tough choice!  Plus I have 4 hours of 24 on the DVR..sweet! 24 mini marathon here I come. I think Watchmen is probably the next movie I'll see in the theater.  It's big enough that it requires some big screen viewing.

It's still cold here so I still haven't taken the bike outside.  I know I'm a wimp but well there is it.  Florida is looking worse and worse.  First, the running injury which basically blows any chance of a 1:25 run split.  Second, the two weeks in Oregon with no swimming drowns the chance of going sub 40 on the swim.  Third, no outdoor cycling and we're 3 months away drops the hopes of a 2:30 bike split.  My training this season has been abysmal as compared to last year and last year I had a mandatory 4 weeks off because of a partially collapse lung.  This year I just have a collapsed motivation.


I'm still bitter about all the sub freezing runs I did to just have it all slip away due to this stupid knee injury.  I could've been a fair weather runner all winter and be in better shape now because at least I still be running 5 miles every so often.  I had to explore a new route.  I should've just kept to my old route that I did all last year.  I should've just did 10 miles instead of 12.  Wow!! I just can't think about it anymore it's too painful.


Hopefully, my new Mac will arrive soon.  It's suppose to finally ship out this week.  It's going to the office in Oregon(no sales tax baby!) and they're going to ship it to me here in DC.  I'm sticking it to the Maryland state government.  I'm doing it because well I can.  I didn't bring back a ton of stuff from my Oregon trip tax free except running shoes, wireless keyboard, and 2 boxes of Clif Bars.  Because of the extra stuff, my luggage was going to go over the alotted 50 lbs.  I decided to put the extra weight into my backpack and then after getting my baggage tags stuff it back into my suitcase.  At Portland International Airport, you have to take your own luggage over to the big X-ray machines after the airline tags it.  Well as I was wheeling my 50 lb bag over to the X-ray, it all sudden acquired some extra weight and my backpack was 2 lbs lighter.  Take that airline!  Overcharging us for bike cases and having to pay for the fatty who's 50 lbs overweight sitting in a middle seat because your fuel economy isn't the greatest.  F that!
