So Sad

So I've moved on to Week 2 of my "Couch to 5k" running/walking program and I feel great about it, and actually really enjoy doing it, even if the sweat and worn out look on my face says otherwise. Yesterday, Labor Day, I labored through step one on week 2. All it is, is warm-up five minute "brisk walk" and then (6 reps of) 90 seconds of running, 2 minutes of brisk walk. So, for all you math majors out there, means that I only ran for 9 minutes and walked for 17 minutes. I was hurting yesterday. I got done with the run and immediately went across the street and dove right into the pool. (I typed "poop" instead of pool initially, but that was strictly by habit, haha)

The weekend was good, and rather non-eventful, and that was entirely needed and welcome. One thing that was awesome about the weekend, other than the start of College Football and a Clemson opening night win was the US Open. Yes, I do watch just about every sport on tv, but was really taken aback from the 17 year old Georgia native Melanie Oudin. Man, this girl is awesome. I remember back in the day being down the shore with my family and staying up late to watch the night sessions of the US Open. I vividly remember Jimmy Conners run to the (?)semi-finals(?). Couldn't tell you what year that was, but I remember coming home early from the arcade to watch the unbelievable tennis and the fact that an unlikely American was in the running for that Grand Slam title made it even that more exciting. Today, when I opened up my computer and went to Fox Sports, the cover story was about this tremendous teen. Then opened up espn.com and once again, there she was, on the cover page. Sorry for the tennis talk, but this girl is amazing. She's lost the first set of her last two matches, only to rally to win the matches. She's in the final 16. It's nice to see an American woman...er...girl in the running that isn't named Williams. I like them too, but this is an unlikely, and amazing journey, and rather fun to watch. Be sure to check her out, because if you don't, you're not American. haha.

Got to hang out with CapeLeague this weekend and his wonderful girlfriend Schmoop. Had a great time with them. Probably could've had more adult beverages than I did, but man, I was hurting pretty bad from all day imbibing on Saturday. Wasn't so much of the binge variety, but the fact that I had my first beverage at 3, and my last at about midnight, it was a long, long day. But very enjoyable. Can't believe I missed out on the buffalo wing dip.

Hope you all have a great week. Hope to have more for this thing later on in the week.
