Cake, Pic, Search

Yesterday evening I made a cake. A buttermilk cake, it was.

I basically ate half of the cake in one sitting! Lisa had maybe 2 pieces...I had like 6. What on earth?

So, I felt pretty guilty and fat for about 3 minutes, but then I realized that buttermilk cake is not really that unhealthy. It only uses a cup of flour (400 calories) and 1/3 cup of sugar. The rest is milk, buttermilk, stuff like that.

You should make it. I found the recipe in a Cooking Light cookbook...I can supply it if you want me to.

There is some stuff about Iron Gym at this site:

IRON GYM

They sell it for $40. You can get it at Bed Bath and Beyond for $30.

I am searching for a place to live in Santa Clarita. Probably will rent a room in someone's house. Just found a really nice one for the reasonable rate of $500 a month. They sound like good people, and it is only 1.5 miles from campus. Maybe that's where I will end up.

Running Every Other Day, Iron Gym

So, I have this idea where I could just run every other day, but have those runs be of higher quality and of higher mileage. For instance, I would run 12 and then have a day off, then 15 and a day off, then 20+ and a day off. The 12 miler would be at a quick-ish pace, the 15 at a good pace, and the 20+ at a slow pace.

How do you think this plan would work?

When I find a place to swim and get a bike, I think this plan would be awesome...on the days that I would not run, I could get in swimming and biking...

I bought an iron gym, that thing that you can rig up in the doorway and do pullups on.

And it works wonderfully! Since I do not have access to a bar, getting the Iron Gym was probably the best idea I've had in a while!

Plus, it is portable. I can take it on vacation if I wanted to.
