| Running 35:00 [2] | |
| Before and after going to the gym. Decided not to pick up any of the litter I saw because I wasn't going to be financially better off for doing so, and it wasn't like it was going to make any significant dent in the total amount of litter in the world anyway. Besides, my motives for even considering picking up the trash were just too touchy-feely other-benefiting and future-oriented. And being an orienteer shouldn't really oblige me to feel more responsible than anyone else does about the state of nature. Came home and took out the garbage instead. | ||
| C • Ouch. 7 | ||
| Strength 30:00 [1] | |
| Instructor was sick so we followed along to a much less intense video instead. | ||
| Note | |
| weight:133lbs | ||
| Day 8: abcdef.
A first: I took the kids to Toscanini's and had nothing myself. Fortified myself by eating half a grapefruit before going. | ||
Friday Feb 9 | ||
| Bicycling 1:50:00 [2] | |
| To the Fells, to school (to take Izzy to the orthodontist), to work, to home. Other than the first leg, the rest seemed really slow and hard - maybe there was a headwind, or I was tired. Didn't get run over by a truck. Couldn't find my bike helmet; took Dave's ice climbing helmet instead. Hope he doesn't mind too much. Dropped off the free (+ S/H) dance pad from Kraft for J-J to electronically alter. | ||
| Running 40:00 [2] | |
| First run in quite a while. Some walking. I liked the few parts where there was a broad trail going gently downhill. I thought about how I enjoy orienteering *slowly*, and why am I trying to get any faster again? I think I'm officially healthy again - just a little coughing and minor nose-blowing. I feel GREAT! (Now that I'm not running.) | ||
| Note | |
| Day 7: abCDef. Dunkin Donuts in the morning; a bunch of oatmeal raisin walnut cookies in the evening.
Cumulative: CD Stand and Deliver (1). The kids were into it. I liked how David gasped and turned to clutch me because the suspense was really building - and what was going on in the movie was that the students were starting their AP Calculus exam. David commented on the racism; there is a lot of explicit discussion and study of that topic at his school. As a movie, this one was not particularly notable for the craft, but I give it a 1 for our family viewing experience. Books I've been reading: State of Denial Infidel, autobiography by the Somali woman who made a film with the Dutch filmmaker who was killed for "insulting" Islam. Recommended. | ||
Thursday Feb 8 | ||
| Note | |
| So, was Woodward's "State of Denial" a contributing factor in Rumsfeld finally leaving? | ||
| Bicycling 8:00 [1] | |
| Work commute | ||
| Yoga 1:00:00 [1] | |
| Note | |
| Day 6: abcdef. Cumulative:
Looking forward to tomorrow's CD (medium decaf [8 mg caffeine - enough that I can feel it with this base of abstinence] & corn mufflin). Did 6 pushups in a row. | ||
Wednesday Feb 7 | ||
| Bicycling 16:00 [1] | |
| Work commute X 2 in order to come home & care for sick child in the middle. | ||
| Strength 45:00 [2] | |
| With Adam, my PT. | ||
| Note | |
| For today: abcdef. Resisted various temptations.
Well, I did get to bed by 10 last night, but was up every half hour or so helping Isabel until around 2 am. So I was much more aware of my dreams, as I was ripped untimely out of them. In one, Isabel was going off to college, and after she left I became worried that she was not really ready for it yet. In another dream, just to continue the Valentine's Day theme, my friend was telling me that she had recurrent dreams in which she and her husband had split up, and she was bummed out to wake up and find out it wasn't true; I was thinking that when I have those dreams about Dave I'm pretty psyched to wake up and find it's not true. | ||
| C • Isabel 5 | ||
Tuesday Feb 6 | ||
| Bicycling 34:00 [1] | |
| To school for parent-teacher conference, then work, then home. | ||
| Note | |
| 8 days till Valentine's Day. Love is great, but it can make us do really stupid things.
| ||
| C • Over the top 3 | ||
| Yoga 25:00 [1] | |
| If it weren't for the alphabet, this would not have happened.
Day 4 (I think). abcdef. Dave & David stayed home sick yesterday. Isabel is sick now. It's a happy household. | ||
Monday Feb 5 | ||
| Bicycling 16:00 [1] | |
| To work. On to OKS for coffee with Alex. I was proud that I had neither (decaf) coffee nor the yummy raspberry pastry I wanted. Just tea and orange juice. Still coughing and blowing my nose... | ||
| Yoga 55:00 [1] | |
| Note | |
I sent the NEOC Times to the publisher a few days ago. In searching about for a photo to fill a hole, I found this old one of my daughter Isabel & her father at Boojum in 2000. So I think I'll put together a little retrospective today.

| C • How adorable! 2 | ||
Sunday Feb 4 | ||
| DDR 10:00 [2] | |
| Until I got kicked off by some kids. | ||
| DDR 10:00 [2] | |
| Another 10 min in the evening. Decided I won't be ready for any sort of face-off with Cristina any time soon. Maybe Eric. | ||
| C • left feet 2 | ||
| Walking 10:00 [1] | |
| Walked around the 'hood in the morning. Cold out. | ||
| Yoga 32:00 [1] | |
| Still under the weather: coughing, and stuffed up. Occasional headache. Possible slight fever. So I don't want to go running outside in the cold. But I really wanted another perfect day so I put together a combination of things I remembered from class. Getting the hour in was tough today and no way would I have done it without the APeople looking on.
[Editted for G rating...] Decided that I might as well make s (sugar) into d (diabolical sugar) and o (other) into f (flossing). That way I can bring in the highly appropriate g if needed to lose weight in a couple months. So, today, Day 2, is abcdef. | ||
| C • flossing 1 | ||
| Note | |
| Wordplay (1). Thumbs up for being able to catch and hold the kids' attention. | ||
| C • Yeah, who'd a thunk that a mov... 1 | ||
