I always thought of the sign in my profile pic in musical terms for some reason....I don't know why....like it belonged on the inside cover of some Jackson Browne album or something.....

Happy 4th of July.

Strange dreams....one of my many alter egos in the spirit world started suggesting new word combos as poosible avenues of exploration for a new aesthetic:

Abzarre - Abjectly bizarre

Vancrilizer - name of a bar in Vancouver

C-Reel - surreal - NOT!

Mexauthenticate - not sure where that one is going...

You saw them here first....

Went to see Farenheit 9/11 last night. While I am not a big fan of Michael Moore, I must say that despite the movie's shortcomings, it is devastatingly effective at bringing us face to face with our elected officials. And that, in and of itself, is enough of a scare. It is extremely telling to me that the criticism aimed at the movie has been...

yeah, it was the cutsy stuff that made me decide not to see it.
The Green Door pic was actually taken in Asheville NC, a city that I miss very much. But Richmond is very photogenic. I live in the fan right now, and can't wait to move out of it!!! The old buildings that VCU owns are beautiful, but the students are a bit irritating. We're looking to move to the Shockhoe Slip area. It's pretty there too.

Fortunate Son gets the nod for being one of the defining pieces of protest rock, characterizing the Vietnam era, and for being one of the best examples of Southern rock in existence.

and for some reason, I was able to get into the Observer site without registering. Sorry, regardless.

Well....I finished the 10k....under 60 minutes too. So I made the target I set...but it is a funny thing about targets....they move. The fastest time was around 32 minutes.....so my next goal will be under 40.

It was a beautiful morning for a run....clear blue sky, and cool. Lots of fun was had by all.

oh, i remember what they gave us all right...

we went on a camping overnight trip and they gave us raw tacos. they stuck them in the fire, but the meat was still cold when i got it. like 500 other kids got sick besides me, and the best part? it was an international camp, so those other kids flew home to aaaaall around the world...

Ugh...what a day. Sasser virus hit.....frown Another long night of clean up.

I should make a correction about the last entry. It turns out that the water area on the mall that was drained and smelly was not the reflecting pool, but a small adjunct. It had been drained to speed up finishing the new WW
II memorial, which opened a few days ago. So...

Yeah...the words "Microsoft" and "security" are not often related, but...hopefully most of the seminars are instructional rather than promotional.

I know several our Win2K Server professor went to weren't bad.

The March for Women is coming this Sunday. Already you see women promoting this event with signs during rush hour as cars flow across the Potomac River crossings.

I was jogging on the Mall this morning, and noticed that the water level in the reflecting Pool was very low, and it smelled really bad. I do not know if this is a 'gift' from the...

Never heard of that GPS feature. At first I thought we were talking about maps and maybe running in Alaska or some shit. Distance would be nice, but I don't think you need it. For the workouts themselves, all you need is time and HR. When it comes to doing your own time trials or getting an idea of how fast you are, you could always do what I did: take a bike with a tachometer and a can of street spray paint out, and mark off distances on a street or path near your house. You don't really need to know distance that often. I had the bike path marked off for x meter distances up to a mile, then one per mile after that, and a mark for the turnaround point for a 5K, which was the distance I was interested in.

Now that I'm into strength training and HIIT, I find it hard to believe I used to like running as fast as I could for 5K. It has to be one of the most torturous things I ever did voluntarily.

Couple things:

You shouldn't need the HR for lower level endurance running, which is the only time I would endorse running with an entertainment device like an ipod. Interval workouts are precise, serious business. You need to pay all of your attention to your body if you want to make them work and avoid injury.

HIT is kind of a second-rate way to lift weights based on a lot of pseudo science and misconception. It is basically a one set to failure protocol with long rests between workouts. I don't recommend it.

HIIT is High Intensity Interval Training. It's basically a serious of anaerobic intervals with inadequate rest between, which functions as an all-purpose aerobic/anaerobic workout and is supreme for fat loss. I discuss it in the 'need help' thread.

I would go with the book and keep your anaerobic/speed, VO2max, and LT interval training all separate and use the appropriate rest-work schemes for each. Saving time is nice too, but if you're serious about racing, I'm afraid putting in the hours is just part of the game.

One thing you might want to borrow from my HIIT plan is substituting a different activity like jumping rope or running stairs for running in some of your VO2max workouts to add variety and lessen running-oriented wear and tear. Once you get an HR monitor, it should be easy. You could also substitute during some of the pure endurance training and maybe with the LT, but not the anaerobic intervals since the purpose is sprinting-oriented strength/speed.
