I have run exactly once in the last 15 days. This is the longest I’ve gone since I re-started running almost 10 years ago. Combine the too cold for me weather (anything below 20 degrees F, with or without wind chill) and exhaustion from studying for the PA bar exam (class at 9:00am, then work for a few hours, then home to study some more), and that leaves precious little time for running. OK, I may have wimped out a little on the weather – some days it might have been 21 or 22 degrees – but I’m not going to split hairs. I’m hoping to get out tomorrow morning, since we’re supposed to get some wintry mix Tuesday night into Wednesday. For those in warmer climes, that means snow followed by ice and/or rain, which means a colossal frickin’ mess on the streets and sidewalks. Fun!

Bad weather + bar exam studying = no running
Monday, January 26th, 2009Getting thrown off my mid-week holidays
Saturday, January 3rd, 2009My brain is all screwed up. (OK, more screwed up than usual.) Thanks to two consecutive weeks of mid-week holidays. It’s tough to keep the days straight – drinking mid-week, sleeping in, working on a Saturday (oh, wait, that’s “normal”).
To help you readjust, if you need any help, I offer the comedy stylings of the Apocatips blog, from ex-Crazy Apple Rumors Site creator John Moltz. I say “ex” since that site is mostly dead, save for the comments on the Giga-Post.
What did you do with your leap second?
Thursday, January 1st, 2009In case you didn’t hear, didn’t know, or just didn’t care, one second was added to yesterday. As for why it’s needed, see this FAQ on “leaps” from NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology).
So what did you do with the extra second? I remembered about it around half an hour before it was added, then totally forgot. If I had to guess, I was holding Caroline. Can’t do much with a second, can you? Unless you’re Usain Bolt.
