"You take Zathras? Zathras die. You leave Zathras? Zathras die. Either way... things not good for Zathras."

Finished up in the gym a little while ago. Same workout as Monday with one humungous difference: no wooziness! Thank goodness, the sprint intervals were looking mighty scary today, but even at 12mph they weren't a problem (Monday I only did 10mph because of the bum treadmill).

At any rate, 36 minutes, 249 calories burned. That means I get to burn 350 tonight while watching... Babylon Squared!

I started on the long road to building endurance while jogging today. They say you should increase your mileage by no more than 10% per week to avoid injury, so today was my 10%.

Before today my longest jog was 5 miles, today I went 5.5. The 5-mile mark was my best time actually, at 49:04. I finished out 5.5 miles in 53:51.

570 calories burned.

Well the proof has arrived... they finally posted pictures from the 5k Zoo Zoom I participated in the weekend before last. So now I have proof that I actually ran! They didn't get me crossing the finish line though.


The guy in the cap is the one I was using as an idea of my pace. I ended up finishing before he did. So for the kids' sake, here's my son.


And my daughter. :)
