I guess Thursday really is the new Wednesday or is that the other way around?  I don’t know.  I just know that my blogging has gotten pretty sporatic because I’m starting to bore myself but let me just see if I can pull a rabbit out of my hat.

1).  I am 1 1/2 weeks into my training program and I’m feeling pretty good.  This surprises me because what I did was to take last year’s 20 week program and just lop off the first 7 weeks so that I started at what should have been week 8.  It’s already up to 10.5 hours of training a week and I expected that to really hurt but so far it’s okay.  Let’s see how I feel 2 or 3 weeks from now.  Anyone want to lay odds on me starting to whine?

2).  To the guy who started  honking at the runners crossing the road last night – where exactly did you think you could go?  Traffic on your  narrow road was backed up because many runners were crossing the driveway a guy was turning into and he had to wait for them which caused a car behind him to stop which caused you to stop  so some of us went the other way around the second car and crossed in front of you.  And you honked at us!  Why is that?  Were you wanting to rear end the guy stopped in front of you?  I’d say I’m sorry but apparently we saved you from yourself so perhaps you should thank us.

3).  Buh Bye W!  I missed your parting speech but that’s okay.  I’m ready for the changing of the guard.

4).  IF you want a truly delicious snack make some of this Orange Cranberry Chex Mix.  A friend of my sister’s brought it to a party at Christmas and I had to take the bowl and put it on the other side of the room to stop stuffing it in my mouth.  The mix, not the bowl.  This stuff is to die for.

5). Is Facebook killing the blog or is it RSS?  I have no idea but I hear that the RSS feed for this blog is really unreliable.  If you hardly ever see my updates try deleting me from your blog reader and adding again using the subscribe buttons on this page – not the one in the browser.

See what I mean?  Booooorrrriiinnngggg….. I got nothin’.  Sorry!  And no – there is no particular reason for that picture except that it showed up in my Tagaroo plugin and I thought it was funny.
