Temps were moderate, so I knocked out a quick two.

Desperation - the mother of all invention

Desperation - it is the seed that always pushes me to perform. These are desperate times, so these are the times to perform.

Saturday & Sunday

I ran 6 miles Sat & ran 6 miles on Sunday

Sunday 5 miles, Monday 3 miles

Saturday - ran 6 at elmwood

Saturday was cold, so I ran at the gym. I quit the gym, but they had already taken out the month's dues.

Goodbye Elmwood!

Jackson day

Conditions were cold. It even started to drizzle near the end of the race. The race started late. I found myself even questioning why the hell I am doing this? The commute, expense, etc. I quess it really is worth it. It will keep me focused and motivated.

Next up Mardi-Gras marathon Feb 1st.
Elmwood classic March 1st.
Run on the Bayou March 1st

Tuesday 3 miles, Wed 3 miles

Resting. But I am continuing to do some stuff daily.

iPhone: I mad lots of progress. I learned about the code yesterday. I worked on buttons and learned Gimp this morning.

Yester - Saturday 5 miles

I am back on the wagon. I signed up for Jackson day race. I got some new shoes. I will try em out today.

Back hurt on the first

I went to the park to run on the first. I made it about a half mile and my back started hurting me. strained it earlier in the morning helping wifie lift some furniture. I ended up walking 2 miles.

This morning I went on a five mile loop. I ran 4, then a great song came on the IPOD. I walked another mile for a total of 6 miles.

Temporary inspiration

Someone sent me some inspiration about writing iPhone apps. I am going to pause on NuclearPurge and dive into this.

Cost $200 for the phone.
$99 for developer
$70 month.

Cost for the year $1140

It is now 2009

2009! What is in store for me in 2009? I am not sure and I am not going to worry about it. I'm taking it a day at a time. Today i am going to run my six at the park. It is a cool 45 degrees. So it will be a bit nippy. It is going to take real focus to go out there and start running n the cold dark mornings.

This is what it feels like to me on a cold damp morning.

PS. I just got rid of my CAD managers blog. Not that I had made many entries. The position was good for me in alot of ways. The industry is too far behind to need a really useful person. Want leading edge? Don't work for an engineering company.
