Hump Day

Work Collides with Play

Well, tonight work collided with play. Nothing big, just had plans to do a "brick" workout after work. A brick is where you do two workouts right in a row, just like you would in a triathlon. Usually, it is a bike/run brick, as that is the hardest on the body ( and thus takes the most practice ). That is what I had planned for today. I was all set to do it, all packed up, ready to boogie out of work, when the phone rings. Something has come up that means I don't get to leave for another 2 hours. There goes all the daylight, so now I can't do my brick. Bargh. I'll get over it, and I'll do it tomorrow.

Icy Hot

I love my Icy Hot. I think I pushed the running too hard this summer. Calves are starting to be sore more often now. I think I'll need to take some time off from running and let things recover a bit. I should probably bite the bullet and go see an orthopedic doctor. Until then, mmmmm, pass the menthol goodness.

Hero

Went to see Hero on Monday with a couple guys from work. The movie was absolutely astounding from a visual standpoint, as well as from a story standpoint. If you get the chance to see this on a big screen, it will be well worth it. Cinematography similar to what Ridley Scott is known for, with breathtaking scenes of natural settings, usually from afar.
