didn't have a chance to post on tuesday, but i did get a nice 5k in - very cool and pleasant that morning - listened to the latest from tim and michele

this morning i used pretty much the same route - quite a little slower this time

playlist was verbum domini, father kevin's homily, the writer's almanac and neil dixon's minor technicality (a really interesting episode about wild food)

still on track to get down to 230 by saturday's weigh-in

i'm considering doing a cleanse of some sort before long here - i did one last year and it seemed to help with energy level and general sense of well-being

081210

had a decent little run this morning - awfully hot out there - up in the 80s and very humid already

here's the playlist

• verbum domini 081210
• writer's almanac 081210
• robert reich commentary 081110
• nyt front page 081210
• cbs world news roundup 081110
• five hundy by midnight 266

 tim and michele from five hundy crack me up - still one of my very favorite podcasts after all these years

i'm going to pay better attention to my diet these next few days - it's kind of gone to pot this week - we were on the road a lot because of a death in the family, eating on the run, etc.

thinking about sprucing up this weblog a bit at some point - maybe a change in theme or perhaps moving it over to wordpress - we'll see

080810 - New Podcast Episode

My pal Greg from Australia got in touch about these podcasts, so I decided to start doing them again.

This episode recorded on my front porch, complete with cicadas.

080710

i've been keeping track of what i listen to during roadwork over on noebie.net - may move those posts over here at some point

weighed in this morning at 236.6 - nearly 6 pounds lost over these past four weeks of running without much modification to my diet

i've logged nearly 40 miles so far

i think i'll start podcasting again fairly soon about this stuff

it's odd that i finally seem to be getting in the swing of things after so many stutter starts - not sure what is making the difference
