Time to run
Man, where did the last two years go? This job is really a great way to kill time. 
Megan and I jogged around Seward Park this morning. I did that several times in the two weeks before starting at Microsoft (sometimes two days in a row), and then started slowing down as work ramped up. This now this makes twice in the last year. Or was there a time over the winter? Maybe three times, I guess.
I’m just posting this publicly so I’ll feel shamed into going again tomorrow. And the next day. Although it may be a while until I go so early in the morning that I can go home to get my camera and come back to take pictures of the sunrise, as I did in the linked post above. Those were the days.

Just watch your knees, man — nothing makes you fatter faster than bad knees. And as I recall, you’ve got quite a hack-job zipper up the front of at least one of yours. Not that I spend a lot of time checking out your pins, baby …
I’m impressed by your drive — I find myself with almost no motivation to work out. It’s not that it’s not fun to do — when we were on vacation at the beginning of the month, I worked out in the gym in the resort every day (except the day I golfed) and loved it. But man, you’re right — something about life’s usual routine makes it hard to find an hour and a half to do it.
Anyhow, we’re moving soon and I’m sure I’ll be doing a great deal of lifting that I shouldn’t be doing. So maybe after that I’ll get back at it. Of course, there’s a great hot dog stand a perfect walk away from our new house … man, it’s no wonder I stink at this.

OK, I did it. Two days in a row. I didn’t get out this morning because work conspired against me, but I ran at 6:00PM. It was rather pathetic, because I’m quite sore from yesterday, but I got in a mile or so and then walked up and down the steep hills at a brisk pace until I was nice and sweaty.
The knees are OK, it’s the muscles, lungs and heart that seem weak. Tomorrow I may need to do the elliptical at the gym, though, to minimize the pounding. Or a nice bike ride if I get home in time.
A hot dog sounds great, actually.
