These past few days have been pleasant. Yesterday, I went to the mall and found out Eddie Bauer left Downtown Plaza Mall. Foo. Waste o' frickin time.

The Landscaper Dude came by this morning. He'll be giving me a quote for doing the brawny, manly tasks that involve big, burly machines to prepare the hardscape of my yard.

He took a copy of my designs and will give me a quote in a week.

In other news, I'll be doing a heavy day of jogging tonight on the road towards training for a 7 mile run in september.

In my life, the maximum I have slogged(not jogged) is 4 miles. And it wasn't too fast. So, 7 miles will be a lifetime record for little ol' lazy me. Lately, though, I've only been running for 2 miles at a time. So we're about to amp it up. My fitness friends have been using a supplement that helps them during extreme cardiovascular workouts. They are more potent than beverages like gatorade. It's called Ultra Fuel. I tried some and sure enough, it does give you a big boost during the run. Why, you may ask? Because one surving has 100 fuckin' grams of carbs (sugar). I tried a quarter serving, however (about 20 minutes before the workout) and it does help quite a bit.

I also bought a heart rate monitor to keep track of my heart rate. Eventually, I'll instinctively know where I need to be, but this will help keep me in the zone I want for cardio training.

Okay, abbreviation boy. If you don't even have the energy to type simple words, you do need more carbs!

What the hell is "GA"?

Yes, I'm short. That's Ms. Short, if you're nasty.

Ah. Gatorade. Weak! Weak!!!! ;-)

Ultra fuel is pretty potent stuff.

Yes it is. It does help while schlepping around the track, though. I can't bring myself to use a full serving of it, though. Just half a dose for me.
