Blech..

So sick... I swear I've had the flu for more than a week now... bleech.... Sucks....
In other news, I finally broke down and bought me new running shoes, but haven't been able to try them out-- flu.

In other, other news-- MA and I are headed to DisneyWorld weekend after the Super Bowl... hopefully will be fun.

update

Well, its been a few days:

Friday: 2 lap-er (3.5 miles) warm and sunny (50's)
Monday: 3 laps (5.25 miles) mild and rainy (40's)
Tuesday 1lap (1.75 miles) COOOOOOLLLDDDD and windy and snowy (air temp 25, windchill 10, no accumulation) I gave up early.... damn, has living in the south weakened me? Weather like this used to be a heat wave for this time of year in Wisconsin!

Outlook for today: COOOLD (notice 3 "o"'s instead of 6). Feeling good... still need new shoes. I just don't know which kind to get that has good arch support. I think that's some of my problem, I have high arches. When I'm walking on sand, my footprint is: Toes, balls of feet, then heal.... nothing inbetween. I laced them up differently- straight across from hole-to-hole instead of crisscrossing, that helped a whole bunch... less pressure on that part of my foot. But still 99.9999% of my foot discomfort is due to the fact that the shoe is falling apart.

School's out....for....a week.....

dadadadum...dadadadum..dadadadumdumdum..
yeah, you get the idea.

Class was good...weird getting back into the whole taking-class-routine. Prof showed up to the wrong classroom. Only 7 people in the class! dang! Laptop's wireless connection worked BEFORE class, but couldn't connect AFTER. Gave up, went to work.

First day of school

schSo here I am waiting for my first grad school class to start at www.usti.edu . This place is freeking tiny compared to GaTech. The one and only building for offices & classrooms (support bldgs and research bldgs are seaparate) is maybe 2-3 times the size of the GaTech library, but THATS IT. This is really just a satellite campus of UT-Knoxville that teaches AE stuff.... a little math and a little ME and a little ECE, but not much else. I'm taking Partial Differential Equations (fun). I'll post another after class. until then....

phew... just got back. Ran 5.25 miles today. Ran fairly slowly (about an 11 min pace), but it felt great. had to walk the last mile or so-- I desperatly need new shoes and I was having stomach cramps.

but feel great.

and now back to your reguarly scheduled lives.....
