Today was a descent day.  I was able to finally finish chapter three of that C++ book and did a fair amount of loafing most of the day.  It was planned to go out running today with some people I know from work but my knees didn’t feel 100% and my previous lessons with knees told me to take it easy today.  Reflecting back on the day nearly nothing was accomplished except for reading and resting; but I’m not going to bed with a wasted day feeling =) .

Didn’t get a whole lot accomplished at work again it seems like.  Ran six and a half miles tonight and got a lot of cleaning done around the apartment…. all on a Friday night, surely this is a warning sign I have no life to speak of.

Today was a busy day and somewhat of a bummer.  It was my dad’s last day in the states on a normal basis for the next three years as he has taken up a job in the Philippines.  After a semi-productive day at work my brother picked me up from work and we went down to have a big family meal to wish him off before he leaves tomorrow morning.  Even though I am trying to keep to a strict diet for my marathon training, I am sad to report I had a few too many burritos: but I’m sure I’ll be okay =) .

Today wasn’t all that great.  Had a day at work riddled with interruptions and it felt like I was falling further behind than catching up on anything.  At about two o’clock I decided to head out at 4pm and at least get a decent distance run in so I could at least feel like I accomplished one thing today, and I did =) .  Ran just a tad over ten miles and my knees feel great!  Before bed my plans are to get a tad more cleaning around my apartment done and finish reading chapter three of the C++ book, “C++ Primer Plus Fifth Edition.”

Starting up a blog to keep track of where I’m at with different things, remember things I’ve done, and keep any others who may have a wondering informed as well.
