Saturday Stationery / Sunday Treadmill
An applicant was being interviewed for admission to a prominent medical school. "Tell me," inquired the interviewer, "Where do you expect to be ten years from now?"
"Well, let's see," replied the student. "It's Wednesday afternoon. I guess I'll be on the golf course by now."

Doctor: "It's no good. I can't find anything wrong with you. It must just be the effects of drinking."
Patient: "I'll come back when you're sober then!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How long a minute is depends on what side of the bath-room door you're on.

Adolescence is a period of rapid changes.
Between the ages of 12 and 17, for example, a parent ages as much as 20 years.

Q: What do you do when a blonde throws a hand grenade at you?

Welcome back. Sorry, but I couldn't resist. I hoped you enjoy them.
Saturday night, I made it to the gym late in the evening to crank out 40 minutes on the stationery bike (after the 5K earlier in the morning).
Today, I didn't get to my original goal; however, I made it to Bally's to register 51 minutes on the treadmill. Yes, another odd number. There's a logical explanation though.
10 minutes - 4.5 mph
10 minutes - 4.9 mph
10 minutes - 5.0 mph
10 minutes - 5.1 mph
10 minutes - 5.2 mph
1 minute - 6.2 mph
Crapped out in the 6.1 mph
Yes, I should have built up .1 mph per minute to close it. But I thought I'd try something different, and it hurt in a hurry. What was interesting though is that when I hit 6.2 mph it showed a 9:40 mile. If I had run as fast on the ground Saturday morning as I had in the last minute, there's no way I would have only run in the 30-minute range.
And it is still bumming me out that I can't slip back under the 30-minute barrier in the 5K.
And we know that Centerville isn't going to be an accurate measure of that on Friday.
I head back to Jackson, Mississippi in the morning for work. Home on Thursday night.
