Okay...I'm at work, and I'm obviously not doing what I'm supposed to be doing, but that's too bad. I seriously doubt that the 5 minutes I'll spend posting this morning will make much difference in whether or not our Klamath Falls radio stations hit their sales goals for the month. Especially in light of the fact that our economy is pretty much in the toilet, and we have businesses dropping like flies.
This post is just to alleviate any concerns that any of you might have if you read what I wrote last night about getting lost in the fog. (Is it arrogant to think that anyone actually gives a crap about me getting lost in the fog? I think Laurie is probably the only one that reads this thing anyway...so Laurie, I didn't get lost!)
Last night's run was actually kind of fun. The temp was 27 when I left my truck, the fog was really thick, and the OC&E Trail was covered with ice. It wasn't normal ice...at least not the stuff that forms when snow melts...this stuff was a result of the freaking fog freezing. I guess it was kind of like the nasty crap you deal with when you have to contend with freezing rain. At any rate, it made the run really interesting. I had no traction (which means that I couldn't run my normal 5 minute mile pace!!) and because the fog was so thick I couldn't see the trail. I did wear a headlamp, which made things even more exciting. The light from the headlamp did a really good job of lighting up the fog, but made it really tough to see the trail. Every time I exhaled the lamp would light up my breath...which made it even more of a challenge to see. On the plus side, because I was focusing (sp?) on staying on the trail and not slipping too much the 3.5 mile run went by pretty quickly.
Today is the next to the last weigh in for the Belly Buster, and I'm screwed. I'm pretty sure that I weigh more than I did when we weighed in December... although I dropped a couple of pounds last night, I don't think it was enough to get me below my previous weight. Oh well...I have two weeks to lose a little bit more weight.
Just as a side note, if anyone has any suggestions to make the layout of this blog more appealing, feel free to share your opinions. I'm open to anything...just remember that I'm computer illiterate, and things that are fairly simple that others might be able to do easily could possibly be well beyond my abilities to accomplish.
For those of you that give a crap about your BMI, I added a metric conversion table so you can figure out your height and weight in centimeters and kilograms. (Thanks, Laurie!)
Well that's about it for now...I should probably actually try to do something work related while I still have a job!!
I'm glad you survived, running in the ice is not fun. I'm getting ready to head off to my death here shortly. As for your blog, I think it's good. I enjoy the hangman game, although I have yet to finish a game. Thanks also for the metric conversion, it helps a lot. Although the first time I did it, I calculated my height in meters instead of cm and needless to say was way overweight with a BMI of 18,450! I'm surprised the calculator didn't blow up!
