i need an AT-AT...
today was colder than pretty much any day of the winter so far...it was cold when i woke up, it was cold at the office, it was cold outside, it was cold in the aquariums.
the temperature when i got back from work was 12F with a 'realfeel' of 6F...so what did damon and i do??? went RUNNING of course! why you may ask? essentially because damon was going to go for a run anyway and likes to punish himself with triathlons...why did I do it? because i recently bought new running shoes, wind jacket & pants, running socks, AND knew that i should start up again eventually...so why not start on the coldest day of winter so far? at the very least i figured it would mean that if i could run today, i would definitely be able to convince myself to run on most other days...at the very most i would freeze to death out there and that seems to be essentially like falling asleep for a cold nap anyway.
needless to say, all the new gear worked out quite well, although i think i'll need to order new gloves and a hat since my present gloves are actually TOO WARM and i don't have a hat (i HATE wearing hats in the winter...and yeah, its a hair thing...shut up).
i ran a little over 3 miles at a decent pace and when we finished (damon ran a few miles farther) we hit up panchero's for a well-deserved (not that one always needs to deserve it) burrito.
all that being said, it's time to go to bed since i'm tired and am not looking forward to the soreness which is sure to develop over the next two days. luckily i have plenty of work and activities to keep me occupied...that and i have to see how closely i can stick to a running schedule. reminds me of the quote jeremy wrote (regarding running track) in my 1995 high school yearbook:
"someday you will realize running in circles gets you nowhere"
ah well, maybe i'll finally get an AT-AT for christmas and be able to more efficiently navigate the ice terrain of Hoth (aka Ann Arbor). good night! <:><
random pics:
for those of you who don't know what an AT-AT is:
and a great group pic from janine & katie's party (thanks J) some people were ready for the pic, others were not, i think its quite humorous. (janine, damon, hal, AJ, andrea, me, katie, kyle)

"All Terrain - Armored Transport" AND they look like dinosaurs, which is always cool.
