Piss Poor

Seriously...it's been two weeks since I last blogged-it-out, and even then, it wasn't the best of entries. I will spare you the excuses, but it's been way too difficult trying to keep with this regimen during the course of actual casework. I'm definitely going to have to figure out how to accommodate boot camp and exercise during times when casework seems overwhelming.

Well...that's behind us...I went to boot camp today and man, it was tough. The fact that the air was a little smoky didn't help...but I'm pretty sure the main reason why I had a hard time was because I had to work out all of the airport CinnaBon, McDonald's and Pizza Hut from my system!

We're back, and that's all that counts. Tomorrow, I'm going to go for a 4 mile run - reinstitute the west LA running club (Asia's out for now - he's got some ankle impingement or something).

Until next time (....we've still got a long way to go before 500 posts!)

Good ol' days...

I'm staying with Jesse and Sarah here in Oakland today - my case ended yesterday so I bounced out of LA last night and came up here to Oakland to hang out on my Comp day. Tomorrow, I'm headed into the SF office to interview some candidates, but for now, just going to enjoy myself. I am overheating at the moment. Spike is looking at me in a really weird way, maybe it's because I'm shiny all over from the sweat. I did the old Lake Merritt run (clockwise, though) and it was great to see all of the familiar sights including the numerous bridges, Merritt diner, Fairyland, the big gate at the NW corner of the Lake...everything was really nice. Instead of just going around the Lake, however, I turned up Brooklyn and then up Wesley onto Prospect for a really tough 4th mile straight uphill. My main concern was my leg holding up (and then my heart) - but I'm happy to say that my cardio is in great shape! As for my legs, they held up...at least my left quad, but I still had that little tweak in my right knee. (Maybe I should go get that checked out)...anyway, here's the run, and hopefully after I get back, we'll be back onto the boot camp thing next week.

one day before election day!

man..i am in some serious pain - i don't know what it is, but something is really hurting in my left thigh. I hope I didn't pull my quad, but it sure seems like it. I know that last thursday dave and i set out to run ~4 miles and I had to stop not even 2 blocks in! This is not good...
