I decided to try and start a running program again. I like to get into the gym but lately I’ve been slacking off on weight lifting (which I like) because of a pesky shoulder. So I decided to give the aerobic running thing (which I don’t like so much) another shot. (Yeah, yeah, I know it’s good for me.)
One program which I used before with some success is the Couch to 3K program. This is a 3-time a week program which starts you off with intervals of walking and running. Over time you do more and more running and less and less walking.
There is actually a web site devoted to this, www.c25k.com. It gives you the schedule and lots of motivational articles as well as a forum where you can gripe along with other beginners about how much harder it is for you than everyone else.
The cool link of the site however is a link to Podrunner Intervals. Podrunner Intervals contains of MP3 music sets that includes audio cues to switch between running and walking. This solves one of my biggest problems, getting bored and staring at my watch saying, “How much longer?”
The only problem with the MP3 file is that I am certain they added at least two extra running segments…

The Senate today passed an $838,000,000,000 spending bill intended to stimulate the economy. How much money is this? That’s $2,974 for every man woman and child in the United States. If you have a family of four the government just borrowed $11,173 on your behalf to spend on stimulating the economy.
Now here is the big question: A year from now after (some of) the stimulus money has been spent, what will you get for your money? Will you be able to look around your community and see your $11,173?
To put this in perspective that works out to a grand total for the city of Tullahoma of about $50 million dollars. A year from now, will you be able to see $50,000,000 in benefit from the Stimulus Package?

Ok, I know I am jumping on the bandwagon very late, but I have set up a twitter feed.
It’s woefully dull with a few test posts, but here it is:

I am going to make a change to the theme for the blog. So things may be bumpy for a few days .
Thanks for your patience.
