Real quick post, as I have to fold my laundry and get to bed shortly. Early day tomorrow.

FINALLY got parts for the project. They were supposed to be here last week, but that's ok, the important thing is that we've got them, and now we can move forward with the actual construction. Tomorrow will most likely be a day full of 3D modelling courtesy of Pro/E...not bad, but I need dimensions, and I don't have the correct tools to do it accurately. Well, I can always change the final models. Once we get those models, one of our tasks will become much much easier.

Went running today. Did the same loop I did for my long run last weekend. Last time, it took 40 minutes or so. This time, it only took 33:57. A 6 minute improvement in only a week seems very suspect, and therefore I'm wondering if I added in the gigantic hill I use to pad out my runs a bit. Anyways, I felt like I was going slow, but kept a good pace throughout. It was a beautiful day to run--the sun was just right, a nice breeze to cool me down, a variety of terrain to run over, and the now-familiar rolling hills. Stretching went well, a hamstring on my left leg was a little tight and sore, and my ITB was also strained a little bit.

I'm hoping tomorrow will be as nice as it was today...great running weather. I'm feeling a bit more in shape now, but I don't see a whole lot of the physical effects yet, though I really shouldn't just yet, as it takes between 3-6 months of running seriously to see the changes, and I've only been running since late May/early June, so I'm barely to 3 months now. What I have noticed is my respiration has improved and has become a bit more efficient, and my resting pulse can go down pretty low.

Once I get back up north, I'm definitely planning to register for a road race...probably a 5k/8k, but a 10k might be a nice way to go. Plan is for a half-marathon in early spring, and possibly a full marathon towards the summer. But there is alot of time between now and then, and I need to do my laundry, sleep, and go to work in the morning, so good night.

Yes, I understand I bore you to death. I'm sorry, I just suck at writing, and lack the faculties to write interesting things. Plus Maryland kind of sucks as a place to live. Replace "kind of" with "like a vacuum".
