Well I ran and ran and then got sick and took Thursday, Friday, and Saturday off for sickness and gigs, and then on Sunday I ran some more and same on Monday and Tuesday and then tonight, don't you know it, I did 100s cause I couldn't get around to running until really late. These were sets of 25 each, four times, punctuated by repeatedly checking the front windows to see if that creepy mystery car was still parked there, sending and receiving texts related to the creepy car, and running down the hall over and over to wave a heavy towel in front of the smoke alarm repeatedly because something was burning in the bottom of the oven in which we were cooking dinner. And doing laundry.
bicep curls, lunge jumps (prisoner jumps?), that side to side thing with weights, upright rows, jumping jacks, triceps dips, squat jumps, pushups (various), and ab crunches (various, plus some extras)
Well it was simple but kind of refreshing.

I Did It Again
So this was a little bit shorter run but much better pace and way more daylight for it.
The podcasts were all TED Talks on unrelated topics, so that was fun too. Then I went to the big garden for 100s, but none of the numbers add up: 50 regular pushups, 50 of those penguin abs, downward dog, 50 squat jumps, 50 bicycle crunches, 50 tricep pushups, 50 (each foot) prisoner jumps (lunge jumps), 25 crunches with legs straight up, 25 double crunches, 26 front kicks, 26 side kicks, 26 back kicks, 26 high knees, 26 buttkickers.
So that's sort of like HIIT class except with lectures instead of music, right?

Here I Am!
Hey Doc.
You're right. I've been running outside and listening to podcasts and barely doing any other exercises at all, so I had not much to report. Happily last night I managed to do 100 pushups (three varieties) and 125 ab crunches (four). Tomorrow night, if I don't make it to HIIT, I will include squat jumps and tricep dips and upright rows in the 100s.
I can tell you that the runs get better each night and that the podcasts have included: a novel called Lost Gods by Drew Beatty, whose voice reminded me of my Canadian brother's; an audiobook called The Brain Mechanic; Slate's Culture Gabfest and then Lexicon Valley (there were only three episodes, but I liked it); some recent TEDTalks; Ask the Low Carb Experts; Brain Science Podcast (but the lady's voice is bugging me a lot); and Mysterious Universe (are those guys Australian? I like their voices, and the stories they report are just silly).
I am looking forward to a bunch of iTunes University stuff I downloaded too. I think you'd like some of it. Here's what I got: Restorative Justice in Action; The New Psychology of Depression; Philosophy - Justice and Morality; and Rules, Rights, and Justice. It's going to be a fun spring!
