Bettering the Best, Campaign Slogans and other Random Thoughts on A TGIF

After last evenings post about focusing on the numbers and bettering my best, I went in to my workout with the idea that I would just try to improve my overall time on the 3 miles by 30 seconds. But, apparently, my competitive nature wondered if I could get a mile in at 7… and for those of you wondering, I did not, but did come in at 7 minutes, 9.5 seconds. Overall, I shaved 2 whole minutes off the 3 miles, coming in at 22 minutes 30 seconds. Tomorrow, perhaps I will just increase the level—though after the “Kilimanjaro” program, I’m not sure level makes any difference as it kicks up the intensity quite high at the apex.

The good thing is that any sleepiness I was experiencing earlier has just been replaced by a huge endorphin rush. Though, quite honestly, I hope I can stay awake when my company arrives later this evening. It would not be the first time I’ve napped on visiting guests, though. Well, not literally on top of them, but once the TV or a movie is on, Govnah-licious tends to nod off.

So, SK came in to work today and brought me a very nice card and book, which I’m looking forward to reading this weekend. It is the Birchbark House by Louise Erdrich. It is a children’s book, or rather, young adult, but after considering a revisit to Judy Blume and Beverly Cleary earlier this week, that is probably a good thing… actually, I’m very excited to read it… and once I have, will provide a review. In the meantime, SK has provided the following campaign slogan: Govnah of the Guvmint, bitches!” That is sure to win over those last few undecideds.

And since I promised random thoughts (yeah, like I haven’t provided one yet?!): Michael J Fox should not even acknowledge the sputterings of a junkie airhead with a rather perplexing agenda. It isn’t worth his time and I can’t think of one person that is of rational thought that even gives two fucks about what Rush has to say.

Random though 2: If the near drowning of people is considered non-torturous methods of interrogation and keeping the country safe, then I’ll live my life in risk, thank you very much. It didn’t make anyone safer in the Salem Trials, Cheney was there, he should remember.

That’s it folks, have a great Friday night.
