Sunday had an easy run - same distance, same time, but really easy. Third easy run in a row  bodywise - I like this! Especially since I have no gym at all this week and am going into a full month of vacation... here's hoping I can even run when I get back!!!

Sunday was nice. After working out I got a massage and then had dinner down at the ( Read more... )

Satruday was quiet here, just what the doctor ordered. I'm in a guest house this weekend instead of being at the work hotel, and I really like it. The view is lovely and the folks running it are really nice - it feels more like a house than a hotel, which I really like. I even have my own balcony with table/chairs to watch the afternoon go by!  So ( Read more... )

Only got 4.5km in this time. ran 3.5km about a km at a time, and walked the rest in between. Did manage to do situps. No breathing issues, but my entire body felt achy and horrible so walking between every km I ran was a combination of feeling like crap and not wanting to push too hard.

Woke up this morning with a slight sore throat. Have been ( Read more... )

Ran 5.5KM, did situps on the demon ball, then a few pushups and stretched.  Felt surprisingly good.  Both my last run at home and this one, more than a week later, have been very easy. I don't seem to be having breathing problems and I can keep the pace fairly well. Huh.

Still in Cape Town. 1.5 weeks to go! I am ridiculously excited to be almost ( Read more... )

So I have one weekend free here, and I have been thinking about going on Safari. The problem is that it will be very expensive, both because it is high tourist season (and all the cheap places are booked) and because I am not willing to rent my own car and deal with driving myself around - I just don't have the time or energy for the preparation ( Read more... )

JP gets the awesomest guy in the universe award today! Our music server, schmoo, is now set up for remote access. I am streaming Underworld live from my living room in Oakland to my computer in Cape Town.

So. fucking. cool.

...that make you smile. Like:

Heated tile floors in the bathroom
Getting your people promoted
Having your boss ask you where you got your sass (and it being a good thing)
Homemade butterscotch (OMG)
A lovely bottle of Shiraz
You get to go home in a few days...

Back Saturday night - can't wait!  See you at chez Fluff, mi amigos. Fresh off the bird

Jogged 5k, walked another 1k or so, situps, pushups. First real workout since i got here last week, though I have managed to run a couple of times, it was just cut short due to other commitments with the first run being only 3.2k and the second only 2.4k.  But whatev. I have no idea what my weight is, only that the scale in the gym bathroom (a ( Read more... )

5k in roughly 33 minutes while watching some ridiculous movie I would never subject my retinas to otherwise.  The normal situps, no arms.  I was freaked that it would be super hard since I've only managed to run 1/wk for the last month, but it was surprisingly easy.  huh.  The belly continues to expand, thanks to the joys of jetlag and the South ( Read more... )

Note self: that yummy tasty beer you like so much?  You know, the "milk & honey" stuff at the microbrewery?  Yeah - that's at least 7% alcohol.  You should sip that shit, not gulp it down like the beer whore you are.  Whee ( Read more... )
