Ramble On

Ahh, another beautiful Saturday night at the plant. I would give details about the happenings out here, but that's all top secret squirrel stuff. I am happy to say this is my last weekend of shift work, as I will be starting a normal 8-hr day schedule in January. It is a somewhat bittersweet transition, but more sweet than bitter.

This afternoon when I woke up, I went for a nice run/walk in the neighborhood. It had just rained but was not raining while I was out, so it was kind of nice. I like that damp post-rain feeling for some reason. I ran about 2 miles or so, not including the segments of walking. That's the most I have run in many months, so I was very pleased. I'm really thinking about trying another sprint triathlon next summer. The first and only one I did was in the summer of 2003 I think, and I haven't even thought about it since. But I really think a regular exercise schedule will be good for my neck, and the best way for me to exercise is to have a goal in mind. It got me out for a run today, so that's a start. I've been swimming here and there for the last several months, so the bike will be my next trial. Slowly but surely...

In other exciting news, I will be going to Waffle House after work tomorrow morning. I have been thinking about the hashbrowns (scattered, double-covered, and chunked) all evening. It will be a nice treat.

I can't believe Christmas is only 8 days away... wow, that crept up on me pretty fast. I'm looking forward to spending time with my family, and relaxing!
