Running Status:  3.45 miles today - 3.05 to go this by midnight Saturday!  Piece of cake!

6.5 to go

4.5 miles tonight so another 6.5 to go this week. That should be a piece of cake even with the rainy day tomorrow.

Fat Busting Time

It's that time of year in Atlanta when it's starting to get warm and everyone is out trying to get in shape before summer. I just got back from my run and the paths and the park were packed. I can only imagine what it is going to be like this week when everyone is trying to get their run in after work.

My goal this week is 15 miles. I did 4 today so I've got 11 more to go.

Daylight Savings - Curse and Blessing

So today was the first full workday of 'Daylight Savings 2008' and the morning started with curses...It was impossible to get up because my body still believed that 5 am was 4 am and I am allergic to Mondays.

After getting to work late, having a 'Not Quite Hot Enough' Soy Hot Chocolate for breakfast and the second worse conference call of the year, I left at 5 pm on the dot and headed home.

The great bit about today was that even though I got home at 5:45 there was plenty of time for a 3 mile run and a few errands before it got dark....Now I remember what I like about daylight savings!

Starting Over Again...

So today I start blogging again.

I haven't blogged for over a year because I've been in a production support IT position that required 24/7 coverage.  Now that I'm back on a project, most evenings and weekends belong to me again.  I've also moved to Typepad and have enabled mobile blogging so it should be easier to stay current!  I still have a lot of work to do to customize my template but that will come over the next month or so.

I've also started a new development project this weekend and hope to have my own iPhone application to deploy when version 2.0 of the iPhone firmware is released.  I'll be working with the SDK to become more familiar with it over the next week and will post an overview of my application after that.
