So Out of Shape
If there's one thing I like less than being out of shape, it's the process you need to go through in order to get yourself back into shape. After having taken a cool two months off from my intended summer jogging program (I knew it wouldn't last the whole summer), I decided to start it up again. At least a little bit. Part of my motivation is wanting to be in shape for intramural flag football this fall, another part is seeing my roommate Petters going out for 11-mile runs (granted, he's training for a marathon, something I'll never do), and the rest is just a general want to be in some semblance of shape. But even though it's been two months since I've run, it's still depressing when I can't even jog for 12 minutes without taking a little break in the middle to walk. Le sigh. I guess it'll come back eventually. But at least the weather's been and will be fantastic for the foreseeable future for jogging. The motivation forecast is a little murkier, however.
Jon & I got a lot closer to getting everything finished for the whole setting up the apartment bit, as we've gotten most of the posters and other stuff hung up on the wall. Now we're just waiting for the glue on his dart board (adhering it to a thin piece of plywood or somethin) to dry so we can get that hung up in the living room, and then I think we'll be pretty much all set. And then all I still need is a frame for my bed that's high enough to allow me to slide some boxes and other stuff underneath it, and free up a little closet space. But the apartment's lookin pretty good, I'd say.
We lost a tiebreaker on Friday night in trivia and wound up finishing third. Jeff wasn't there, so we made our team name "Smoke Free and Lovin It," haha. (Sorry Jeff, we just couldn't resist!) Nobody else at G-Man got the joke, but we all thought it was funny.
I got two more Penn State photo albums uploaded today. Before you know it I'll be all caught up with last fall's pics!
And there's a tree from San Antonio that seems to have sprung a leak. Maybe it just needs to be told, "Don't cry for me arboretum." Okay, that was a stretch. And horrendous. I'll stop now.

Doesn't the G-Man ban smoking until 9pm anyway???

I have no idea Jeff, but it's the principle of the matter. ;-)
How come your Tiggers couldn't have taken even one measly game from the White Sux this weekend? You guys'd better sweep them right back next time you play. Unless the Twins have just about caught up by then, in which case I might reconsider the previous statement.
