Almost There

Today marks exactly one year ago from starting my diet/going hypo in anticipation of my first treatment. My, how much things can change in one year. Last year at this time I was struggling to walk around the block. Today, I ran my usual 4.5 mile trail run on the Miwok/Coyote Ridge. While this is normally a killer run which involves lots of walking, today I crushed it, which was real surprising especially as I still have this nasty chest cold. My eCycling classes are killing me, but starting to pay major divideds fitness wise. This is a heavy training weekend: 3 hour bike/1/2 hour run tomorrow and a 1.5 hour swim/1.5 hour run on Sunday. After that, I begin to taper. I'm looking forward to getting this race out of the way.

Shout out to my main man JT who took the Hot Pill today. Godspeed JT; you are almost at the finish line. Shout out too to the Best-Mother-In-Law, who starts radiation treatment next week. Too much damn cancer in this world.

I'm typing this while watching the movie Zodiac. Pretty good so far, but very long. Interesting perspective of 70's era San Francisco. Definitely worth renting. Any other rentals out there that anyone recommends? I'm travelling to Atlanta next week for work and need to burn some movies to help pass the travel time.

Anyone read Omnivores Dilemna by Michael Pollan? I noted that it comes out in paperback on Monday and am thinking about picking it up.

I've picked up a lot of interesting new music. Will do some music reviews later this weekend, if I have the energy to type.
