Warning: Ranting!

Alright, first, I have to admit something. I've let me dedication to running slip. At the end of an exhausting day (which is good, as it means I'm doing stuff), the last thing my body wants to do is go running. Generally I force myself to go, and I feel much better for it, but the past couple days have been difficult. My running log ends at 114.5 miles...I haven't bothered to update it in a long long time, so I have no idea where I'm at now. I thing I could guesstimate, since I've been doing anywhere from 4-6 miles every day (at first, but now it's more every other day). I NEED to get my motivation back. When I was running everyday, I felt better, felt more balanced, and also tended to eat better. Resting heart rate would get down to about 44-48 (but then again, I'm taking my pulse for 10 seconds and multiplying it by 6, so theres error in there).

I KNOW I should go out and do it, should FORCE myself to do it, regardless of how I feel, regardless of how hot it is out there (and trust me, it is HOT), regardless of what time it is, regardless if I'm going by myself or not (going with someone else is a big help--the miles do get lonely).

GOAL: tomorrow is Friday. I think. Either way, I am to drink 3 bottles of water during the day tomorrow, and run as soon as I get home from work (or shortly thereafter), and do 3-4 miles. Afterwards, spend time stretching and weight lifting, as well as drink an additional 2 bottles of water.

Rant is officially over. Life is good, Sci-Fi channel said Stargate was on tonight, but they lied (boo! hiss! I want Stargate!). We should be getting parts and materials either tomorrow or Monday, meaning we can move forward with our project. Today, we got a good amount of writing done, not a HUGE amount, but a good start. Unfortunately, it was the easiest stuff, and was the shortest part of the paper. Next up is the section on lunar geography, geology, as well as mineral crystallography (which is very interesting, but at the same time, quite boring), then explaining how the crystal structure of the minerals defines their properties (yippee!).

What is up for this weekend? I don't know. Probably a second trip to the Air and Space museum as it is just that kickass. Maybe a trip to the Museum of Natural History. It's really great that they are free...because both warrant MANY visits.

Allow me to communicate to you my desire to have your guns.
