Taking out the trash continues.  While I'm not ready to knock out a marathon yet (by a long sight), Nike+ reports that I've broken 100 miles since I began in June.

Nike+ website watches your progress and posts achievement nuggets to your account.

Last night, during a ten second water break, while the Cuban Assassin set up the next gauntlet of torture devices, a blonde woman in tight black spandex panted to another blonde woman in tight black spandex, “I heard someone threw up in this class once.”

“No way,” I said.

Okay, today was a big freakin’ deal. 

First, I made the 21st red magic marker mark on my printed-off walk-to-run schedule from Nike+ .  It’s around this time in any new undertaking that I start getting a little lazy, thinking that I can skip a day.  And maybe other people can, but I can’t let myself do that. 

Nike+ says I’ve logged 32 miles over 15 runs walks.  This week (2nd full one of the program), it was a little more difficult to get out the door … sort of spent a couple of days thinking "Hell, when I get home tonight it will be time to go get my walk/run thing in."

The NY Times and others are reporting that GE plans to sell its appliance division

In other news, McDonalds has announced it will stop selling Quarter Pounders and Nike is exiting all lines of business related to sports.

I haven’t talked a lot about the fact that I just turned 40 because I haven’t really had anything profound or witty to say, or anything, for that matter, that hasn’t already been said a lot.

I once discussed my jacket made from plastic cola bottles, here’s a link from TreeHugger about a new Nike basketball shoe, made from waste.

Yes, we have tickets to the Super Bowl!
