couple of tings

Time for a meaningless update, addressed to no one in particular.

I have been trying to do 2 days of running and 2 days of biking every week, along with weights 4 times a week. Something about this combination has aggravated my piriformis in the left leg, which unfortunately at times has been a semi-chronic condition for me. Interesting, I ran and trained like a madman all summer long, and ran arguably one of the most difficult hundreds in the world, with no problems whatsoever. During the "offseason" I am plagued by this injury and a few others.

Been getting in some good trail time with my favorite 4-legged girl, and closest non-wife confidant, my beautiful yellow lab Sophie. The pattern that seems to be developing is going for a brief run on the trail with her on Sunday mornings, but yesterday after work was such a nice day that we hit it again. Listened to Sun Ra's "Nuclear War" (which I find to be much more accessible than the other Sun Ra album I own, "Disco 3000") and part of Led Zeppelin's "Physical Graffiti" which is always good. The weather was pretty much perfect and both the dog and I had more fun than usual. I know the dog had a great time because periodically she would sprint up the trail, and off into the woods, for no reason whatsoever.

Countdown to the baby is on as well, we could be parents in as little as 5 days! I for one am looking forward to getting it (the parenting) on. I still don't feel qualified to be anyone's parent, but pledge to do my best.
