Its’ worth it !!!

Dawn at Taritari (Nueva Esparta, Venezuela)

This week ran by fast ! LOL, nice play on words.. the week RAN by fast..  Sorry, corny german humor.

Every day of the week (except for Friday, as per plan), I was able carve out 45min. to an hour to run. Either inside in our training room on the treadmill (convenient and saves about 10min. but the scenary doesnt change), or outside (with the running group from work or by myself).

Per plan I am supposed to run 2 times 45 minutes and work out 2 more times. I ran 45-60min every day except Friday, trying to stay a little ahead of schedule.

Its the second sunday and we did our 4 mile run today. The other members of the running group picked me as their running group leader. While running for 4 minutes and then walking for 1, we continue to talk and get to know more about each other. Definitely a great team building exercise.

I had purchased a watch specifically on advise of the running coaches. Really great watch and very helpful for the intervals of running and walking (sidenote: one has to set it correctly.. not 4 hours and 1 hour LOL !).

Thoughts on ‘Connected-ness’

Thought about some statement that friends made about being online often isolates someone from the ‘real’ world. My experience is the opposite. I have never been as connected as I am now, where I talk to a lot of people in person, as well as online. For example, I re-connected with people from Germany, old friends and working colleagues, who otherwise would not run into me in person. Used appropriately and with caution, being connected can be a wonderful help in establishing, keeping and/or re-establishing human connection.

Life's Lessosn Learned of Today: How to delete a 'obnoxiously' re-appearing TV Show from iTunes

I happen to be a recent owner of an iPod Touch 4G. This is a longer story and going to be a different post. One of the things I do is to subscribe to free content on iTunes. I subscribed to a free pilot show, watched it and then deleted it from the iTunes list of TV shows. To my surprise, it reappeared uploaded from the iPod again. Since there is no command to delete it from the iPod directly, I was at a loss. Now i tried the following - delete it from iTunes, then sync, and when it warns you that non-sync content will be deleted from the iPod, say yes (!). Make sure you synced before, deleted the show again, and the only thing different is the one show. That will get rid of it. Gee, could be easier, couldn't it ?

2nd day of training

Image by Paul Morgan via Flickr Monday, 4/27/9 Running with the group at work for a 5 mile along the Lakeshore. I am caught off guard on how humid it is and end up huffing and puffing and walking the last 1/2 mile back to the office. Lesson learned – i have to adjust my speed based on weather conditions, and drink more water when the temperature is higher.
