So as July is drawing to a close I am left with a lot on my mind.
Some is simple things....sports for one thing, and other things not entirely simple.
Sports
I was thrilled when the Mariners finally parted ways with Richie Sexson...finally.
Their season has been so rough but at least they have made one smart move.
I've been watching the Tour de France daily.....and
WOW!! The last few days have just been incredible!!
It's almost as if Lance Armstrong was still taking home the victory.
It has really been that exciting.
Now, tomorrow will decide the Tour.
Two men and an Individual Timetrial, winner takes the Tour.
The next day they ride into Paris, and that's more of a parade than anything else.
School
I've now finished the first half of my first term of my Masters program.
The first half was pretty time consuming but otherwise good.
I only have one class this second half, but for being just one class, it sure is requiring a lot of time.
Life
With school its been really hard to have much time for anything.
My girlfriend, Sarah, is on her third weekend in a row where she's gone and done something and left me behind. Next weekend will be the same thing again. It sucks.
On a happy note, while I've never been in bad shape, its been a few years since I'd say I was in good shape.
I've been making real progress on being in that condition again!
I've started walking to and from school daily, and its a pretty good distance.
You throw in a backpack and my quick pace, the 2k walk becomes a pretty good workout.
Also helping the situation is having a pool less than a hundred feet away in my apartment complex.
I try to swim at least a few times a week and mostly do laps.
Been doing a little bit in the healthy food department as well, and about to step that up a lot.
Starting Monday, Sarah and I are going to try out a fruit diet for a couple weeks.
