Ran again. Terrible time. I lost a full 29 seconds. Oh, well. It was only 16F out and the ground was covered in snow. I didn't really feel into it, so I suppose thats the trouble. We'll see in a month or so, I suppose ( Read more... )

I have a great deal to do this weekend and over the course of this next week. Many things, which I need to put priorities on, and also to look ahead at what else is to come. The biggest problem is that I have at least three major long-term concerns, none of which I have been particularly productive with. I will need to be chnaging that ( Read more... )

I ran until my lungs burned and my blood pumped battery acid. Then I ran some more.

Prior to that, I managed to get the Cubic Spline program partially working. Hooray for me.

Very proud of my self. Unfortunately, I may have set the bar a bit too high this time.

Went for another run. Felt much better than other times, in terms of stamina. Sprinted at the very end to shave seconds, but it wasn't enough. Its also tough in the snow, since I always slip. I can't wait for the thaw. Anyway, I did some pushups, regular and knee-with-bag-o-rocks, as well as bag-o-rocks lunges. I need to get into a real routine, ( Read more... )

Confession is good for the soul. So is cleaning your place. I just went completely clean crazy; I put on some Ravi Shankar and straightened and organized everything in the viscinity of my territory. I needed to do it so that I could look at my assignment sheets and figure out what work I need to be doing. It's actually a lot better than I would ( Read more... )

Went out for another. The Club came with, and we did pretty well, considering the others hadn't run in while. Nat did really well, and would have beat me if not for following a slightly longer route at the end of the run. My shins hurt real bad. I guess thats a sign of bad form. I need to start doing pullups so I can begin practicing Parkour,'art ( Read more... )

Back from #3. Lungs burn, sweating more than last time. Legs sore. I can feel my calves throb. The Hall Director apparently wants to meet with us because our RA is power hungry and thinks that we are slamming our doors. And as it turns out, my response papers for Tolkien still haven't written themselvs. I guess I'll have to do it ( Read more... )

Just returned from 2km run, some of which is uphill. Thats the hill up from the Union to Snygg, for those of you who care about such things. I managed to shave six seconds off of the my last time. I was slower for the rest of the time, and I know this because the I actually ran the final stretch back to the building. Now, I have a lot of work to ( Read more... )

There is a familiar scent in the air. The breeze carries the most esquisite and subtle flavors. I every minute, I wish I was able to taste the air more clearly. That scent in the wind recalls another year, a time of both meloncholy and exultation. Such intensity! And in their wake the world turned grey ( Read more... )

It rained today. Its still raining, of course. Today was warm, and the rain brought banks of fog from the river. The trees turned a dark ashen brown from the rain, standing in stark contrast to the melting snow and grey haze and fog. It's beautiful when things are like that, so I felt compelled to go out into the world. After crossing the bridge, I ( Read more... )
