    Short run to work, stretched a few minutes more than normal (27?) as I cut by Moscone Center on Howard to see how the Macworld setup was going. I want one.

  • Exercise, 2007-Jan-7

  • Exercise, 2007-Jan-01

    I don’t know if I’ll do this all year, but I’m going to start the year optimistically, and document my exercise. I’ll do it here, despite my occasional readers. I’ll keep the title format consistent if you want to skip these! I ran for 30 minutes today, approximately four miles, out around Stow Lake and…

    Happy New Year, approximately one hour early. I spent the last week in Colorado, on Mountain Time, so I’ll use that as my excuse. Not that I’d be staying up to midnight anyway. 😉
