Two, and three.

I now am the proud owner of the ugliest photo of me ever. PFC Dammerung couldn't decide if he was going to smile or make the serious face. So now he looks like he's got something wrong in his gut. Today's Run = 1m 12:51 2m total: 27:24 Very glad to see the overall time down to my lowest yet. School doesn't disburse loans until monday. So no new apartment until then. Boo. Shroomage needs to talk to Wulfa about her address next time she see's Wulfa on. Wulfa can explain. School starts Jan 14th. Have I said that already? Prolly not. Anyways we're starting to get -really- excited. Next week we have all sorts of crazy things to get done. I'm not in the military's arcane matrix yet so no drill this weekend. My first one should be next month. Not like its a real drill until basic... but still. Oh...and looks like the Army is going to dress blues . The pictures I saw looks fairly nice. Well, I think thats everything for today. Hope everyone had a H...

Ran only one mile this time. Wind burn all over my face. Ick. Should have run 2 but had to take a bathroom break at the one mile mark and didn't feel like going back out into the windy cold after that. Time 12:54 using the 1min/2min cycle. I think if I hadn't been sick allday yesterday I would have been back to 12 min. Anyways. That is all.

So when I started running I -just- barely run 1 min consecutively. So I would run 1 min walk 1 min. Here are my times doing that for the first mile and walking 2 running 1 for the second. Dec 23rd = 1m 13:30 2m total: 29:45. Dec 26th = 1m: 12:43 2m total: 28:00. Dec 30th = 1m: 12:11 2m total: 27:48. Today I decided to swap it up and go with 2 min running 1 min walking for the first mile and 2 min running 2 min walking for the second. Trying to be careful I forced myself to ignore the watch and just focus on doing it. I'm happy to report there were -no- cheat "I'll just walk for 30 sec more". Also my whole body feels like I worked out a lot more. No breath issues as I wasn't pushing anything and my running was only -barely- faster than my walking speed. Jan 3rd = 1m: 13:56 2m total: 29:36. I really cannot wait until student loans hit and I can pay for school, books, rent, and BLOODY RUNNING SHOES :p. I'm currently running in blue jeans...

So today I was supposed to run. However I got only 3 hours sleep before 8am and by the time I had caught up around 11am Wulfa was still feeling horrible. So no running. *if* I don't catch whatever horrible thing she has then I plan to run tomorrow if she's feeling better. Sickness sucks. So I'm gonna duck out now. Go read Elizabeth Moon's Remnant Population. Its always been one of what I consider to be the best hard sci-fi books. Mostly due to the protagonist. For fun simple scifi where the good guys win with lovely white hats and all, try Weber's "Off Armageddon Reef" and the sequel "By Schism" somethign something something. "Flash" by Modesitt was happily about a guy who does stuff he -knows- is wrong/evil because a greater evil will result if he doesn't. I enjoyed it. But I like most of Modesitt's books. Weber and Modesitt both mostly write books I can only recomend for entertainment value and not for literary or though...

I think I've mentioned that the nausea was finally going away? Well, it is. Happy happy joy joy. And then I had to go and catch the stupid flu. First time I've thrown up in 11 years. Some good has come of all this, however: the Orclette discovered a new game. She went about this morning pretending to retch into a cup. Fun stuff eh?
