Second Wind

I am re-energized with the addition of my analyst. My work has literally been cut in half. I now have time to workout, email, grill, and even go to the theater.

I've been to the theater twice this week. On Monday I saw Flags of Our Fathers and on Wednesday I saw Casino Royale. Both were great!

I grilled hot dogs on Tuesday. I haven't had a hot dog in two months. The PX had them, but for whatever reason stop carrying them until last week. I actually picked up five packs! I think I am craving them because baseball is right around the corner.

As workouts go, I feel great. I am working out about 3-4 days a week, the past two weeks. A heck of a lot more than last month (zero workouts).

Here is my run log
:

Monday - 45:00 (4.80 mi) 9:22 mi pace
Tuesday - 30:00 (3.23 mi) 9:17 mi pace
Thursday - 30:00 (3.31 mi) 9:04 mi pace

I need to bring those times down to about 8:00 mi pace. Still I am happy considering I have to run on a treadmill and haven't workout out in a month.

If hotdogs aren't really meat ("meat product") does that mean you can eat them on the days of fasting during lent?

I vote yes. ;)

I vote never!!! Hot Dogs - didn't you hide them to avoid eating them? Hot dogs aren't a food product even. 5 packs Ben, You don't have 5 weeks even. They'll slow you down.

That was specifically Ballpark beef franks...not all hotdogs. I think they were boiled too, so that may be a factor. Beef and brand were definitely a factor though.

Yes, they actually taste different boiled. No, I'm not crazy.

Hypersensilis (over-sensitive tastebuds)...it's a theory still in the works.
