Internship
I got permission today to stay at my internship for another year! I love my work. I do child and family therapy, and over the next 18 months I will do some program development for the clinic's anxiety track, take on substance abuse treatment responsibilities, and perform outcome evaluation and submit reports on data analysis that I'll do. I ( Read more... ) -

"Self, what's for dinner tonight? Expired Mac'n'cheeze like the last two nights?"
"No, fool! I was very sick, but now I am better. Tonight is home-made beer battered fried calamari with whole grain pasta, portabello sauce, and asparagus."
"Oh, damn! Carry on!" -
Goal
It looks like I met my goal this morning of losing 100 lbs. Unfortunately, the last few came off during the last 10 days of serious illness that has kept me from the gym and from eating as well as I usually do. So, I think some muscle came off that I would rather have kept. When I feel better (gah, bleargh!) I need to get that muscle back ( Read more... ) -

1 mile
Motivated by Krotscheck, I picked up my pace. I did two miles at my usual 6.2 mph to warm up, then walked 0.2 miles for some recovery, then ran 1 mile in 7:48, beating my old personal record by over 40 seconds.
I think my ultimate, far off goals are:
1 mile in 6 minutes
5k in 21 minutes
Marathon in 4 hours
Goals for 2008:
1 mile in < 7 minutes ( Read more... ) -
More running
8 miles in 79:10 at 1%. Saturdays are going to be my distance days. The first 7 were fine, but I felt the fatigue on the last one. I've pushed through harder, though, and I could have kept going (not for much longer, but maybe another mile), but I do not want to increase my distances by great leaps (+2 miles today may have even been a lot) and ( Read more... ) -
Ran
Not just a samurai movie.
I just ran 6 miles at 1.5 degrees in 59 minutes. I felt great the whole way through, and could easily have kept going, maybe even a few more miles, but I didn't want to risk screwing myself up for the next few days (I want to run again Thursday) and all the bouncing had shifted things in my lower GI, causing some ( Read more... ) -
