No run today. Monday is my day off from now on.

Did PT though. Arnel Week 2:
3 sets each
A1: Dive Bomber Pushup (15)
A2: Jump Squat (15)
B1: Wide Grip Pullup (7)
B2: Alternating Split Squat Jump (15)
C1: Atomic Situps (30)
C2: Single Leg Plank Pose (50 seconds per, 25 each leg)
These workouts are going pretty good. Not really punishing to the body like the large pyramids, but still feel my muscles working. The Jump Squats were really fun, too! And I took the risk with the Atomic Situps. I feared that it would hurt the back, but it didn't. At all!

Running to work is good, clean fun. And running on the breaks is a good way to get fresh air and move around a bit.
I wish I lived in a hunter/gatherer society. I'd be running all over the place like a crazy man.

woot:
A related claim is that it came from multiplayer online games like Everquest and Ultima Online where it is said to have been associated with the phrase "wondrous loot," or even with the same "wow, loot!" as in D&D, when a player's character came across gold or wealth in the game.

I am not too fond of people who do "cardio," as in "Hey Geoffry, let's get in a good cardio workout on the eliptical." No wonder they are pansies.
Running is what it is all about. You don't have to run a lot of miles in a week to be called a runner. You just have to have the perspective that what you are doing is running, not "cardio."
Jason Statham would say "I'm going to go bust out 3 miles tomorrow morning."
Michael Jackson would say "Ooo! Cardio! I'm SO EXCITED to wear my new trainers! They are SO PRETTY!"
That' what I was trying to say, in a roundabout way. Even now I doubt that I am even making sense.

Thanks for the lesson in "woot".
I agree, I don't like the whole cardio thing. So high maintenance. Just go out and run somewhere.
On that note, I'm glad I'm not in a hunter-gatherer society. Being female, I would be mostly relegated to foraging for roots and assisting in the delivery of babies. The baby delivering might call for short bursts of speed, but the rest, not so much.
Interesting "woot" origin.
I do cardio. Actually, isn't everything cardio. If someone was not doing cardio they would be dead right?
I'm doing cardio right now. As I type.
I'm all about the hunter/gatherer lifestyle. I actually thought about that the other day. Sprinters would be good for catching food, but Charles and I would probably end up being boring message deliverers. That would not be as fun. Perhaps, we could be the cheetah chasers. Yes, they are fast but they don't last that long. Maybe we would just run after them until they collapsed and we would stand next to their huffing/puffing body and yell, "AHHH, FOOD!"
Cool, woot.
What PT program are you following?
I want to be in an h/g society too. Then I wouldn't have to study and rehearse and stuff. I'd just do what I need to survive. And have fun riding mammoths. Mammoths are cool.
