Being a little hungover from a night of drinking, I was able to overcome and run for 20 min straight. Though not my best distance, it was a tougher router. Two big hills. Also it beat my run on wednesday but running after taking break.
On wed. I hit the 20min mark and stopped. I got to near food time. Today I thought I was goign to smash that time by a minute or two as I climbed the second hill, but it was not to be. I was a little defeated I only got about 5 seconds, but I felt alot better tackling the second hill. Not having made up much time I stopped. I did do two more sprints though to make up for it. It trimmed about 4-5 minutes of the total loop time for that route.
This entry is not that easist to follow, but I am trying to keep to the goal to enter blogs and just do it. With time hopefully I will get better.
It serves two fold. First I had the goal of just kind of keeping a track of where I have been, and where i want to go. It then gives me perspective to keep with my 10k training. I feel great after running today. The one area I didnt control this week was eating. I think by Tuesday I can try harder to eat better, but my OS projects and group meetings give away to much free food It makes it tough.
I am proud I got my run in, but think I could improve on my eating habits.

Sun: Softball 2.5 hours 4-6:30
Sun/Mon: Stuck doing my OS design milestone
Tues: Softball game at 7:30, same time as my tickets to Ben Folds, hopefully I do not miss to much of the concert.
That is all for the day.

3/22/2006 - - The beginning
The goal of this first blog is to create a commentary for whats going on in my life, and how I am going to try to accomplish more with my time. I will try to expand out, but no promises.
To start I am going to try to keep some goals for the week.
Major goal: Do something adventurous this week - get out, the 5k is a start but lets raise the bar
1st Minor goal - Use blog more often
2nd Minor goal - Keep to training schedule
3rd Minor goal - BK Project
I feel bad that this past week I have not kept to my training schedule, but the beginning of the week kept me busy with OS.
Yesterday was greatly needed. I awoke around 9/10 and heard the pitter-patter of rain on my window sill. I choose to go back to bed since not only was my only class canceled, but I wasnt about to leave my nice cozy bed to go run in the rain. So, my 5:30 meeting came around and I still didnt really feel like getting ready. I managed to change, as the gym shorts and IEEE t-shirt I wore the night before to the IEEE softball game were not goinig to cut it at a IEEE meeting. The promise of all you can eat ribs for 10$ was my motivation. A long Bday dinner for David with Micah and chris turned into the decision to hit up the Lyric to see the last king of Scotland.

Probably not orginial, but coming from that girl it might have been.
