I.T. to Teacher

While there's a lack of news on the teaching front I'll keep you entertained with other stuff.

It was warm in Chicagoland today. No, really, 50 degrees is warm here. Because of that, and with a little prodding from my lovely wife, I went running outside today. The last two days I've been forcing myself to run on the treadmill in my complex. I say forcing because I... hate... treadmills. I managed to force myself through 45 minutes each of the last two evenings on the treadmill only because I'm tired of not running. I know, I know... to many of you that seems a little backwards. "Tired of not running? I don't get it." Just consider me a bit of a nut.

Anyway... enough with the complaining. It felt good to be once again moving while running. I went 6.66 miles (according to my cool new GPS watch) in about an hour. No, I didn't go running around the local pentagram; that's just what the watch said. However, since that's just a hair over a quarter of a marathon I figured I should dedicate my half-half-mari to Kelly since his debut half-mari is this weekend. (See Kelly, I didn't even mention that Lindsay is running twice as far as you.) So, everyone out there in blog land, if you see a news report of a guy going crazy at the race in Houston this weekend you'll know that Kelly got passed by his wife.

Incidentally, I was just using blogger's spell checker, and would you believe it didn't recognize the word "blog"? Go figure....
