Today I ran with the Nike Plus kit again. Listened to one of my all time favorite bands, The Crystal Method. They did a special mix for the Nike + iTunes called Drive, which is a progressively faster mix ideal for running and cooldown. I did the whole 46 minutes today, which is by far a record for me. The Lance Armstrong message programmed into the iPod kit is pretty cool too. I was like, “Thanks, Lance!”

Thursday will consist of upping my pace to 8 minute mile, and going for distance. From there, I just have to increase the distance. I think I have a pretty good shot at it.

I think this one speaks for itself.

I applied for current hiring at the PD. Since I’ve been out of the gym for a while I picked up one of the Nike + iPod kits. Borrowing my brother’s iPod Nano, I took it for a spin. It’s pretty neat, and tracks your running Progress. I’m trying to get myself below an 8 minute mile.
So far, on a broken treadmill, I managed about 16 minutes. Mostly in that i wasn’t allowed to really run on it. Every time I tried to make it go to 5 mph or greater, it backs itself down to 2.3 mph. Going to try a different one today. Progress report soon.

It drives me crazy. As I sat in Government class taking notes, at least one person in the class is wasting time on MySpace. Are people becoming so vain that they cannot stand to be away from their stupid MySpace of Facebook pages for even a few hours? No wonder so many other countries are overtaking America in so many fields. Seems we’d rather post pictures of ourselves and pretend to have a bunch of friends.

I finally got the film developed from my cousin’s wedding. A few shots turned out well, but most of the slides have a blue tone to them. I’m not sure if that’s from being x-rayed at the airport or from my HP scanner. I guess I will have to photoshop them later.

in 28 days, there is a hiring. I have to lose as much weight as I can, as well as ramping up my running. I haven’t been able to run for over a week, since I turned my knee sideways. I’m hoping to do well. Mostly it’s the physical test that I am concerned about. I know a lot more about the way the legal system works now, than I did two years ago. Internship helps.

I don’t expect to get picked up in this hiring round, and of course, I hope to finish my degree on schedule. but it’s more about the experience of the process.
