Nice view

Cool Show on DHC

I tend to not watch the Discovery Health Channel because when I flip past it there is usually some sort of surgical instrument protruding from some unknown part of the body with organs and other stuff in full view. That being said there was a very cool show on last night about the extremes of the human body.

Great feature on fast-twitch vs. slow-twitch as well as the story of a person who they shut down all there functions for an hour, performed surgery, than restarted them. Cool!

Swimming Milestone

I am trying to learn how to swim so that someday I might be able to do a triathlon. Anyway, yesterday I had a real milestone... my arms got tired. I know this doesn't sound like much but up until now my breathing has been so bad that I would run out of breath WAY before my arms could ever get tired, so I figure this is progress... :)

Finally Got a Race on the Calendar

Of course it's the usual.... Soldier Field 10 miler. Best race in the City of Chicago. Depending on the weather and my training we'll see if I try and PR (done 2 years ago) or just run it for grins. Either way it should be fun.

Egads, a postless month?!

I'm not sure why I haven't posted, lots going on. I'll do better in February... I promise!
