after meeting with the recruiters here in chicago, it has dawned upon me that they are serious about PT and getting into decent shape before basic training. my parents neighborhood (yeah, gotta crash with the folks until i ship) is directly across the street from a forest preserve with off-road and paved trails. yesterday i ran the east loop, and when i got home to look at the map, i was surprised to find it was about 3 miles. the reason for my surprise is that i haven't run 3 miles in a while, and i didn't feel that bad. on the other hand, i am pretty sore today, even though i stretched, cooled down, and stretched afterwards. there's really nothing else i could have done, except not run so far the first time around, especially since the path is covered in about 2 inches of snow. then a friend and i went to water polo practice. i figured it would be a good, low-impact way to work out any stiffness, but instead my leg cramped on me the last 10 minutes of scrimmage. although the run didn't feel bad, i got smoked in the water yesterday. hopefully after a few practices i'll be able to keep up a little better. stupid cigarettes.

If I have regular coffee, I can drink it black no problem. But if I have flavored coffee, like I do right now, (tiramisu flavored) I end up needing milk and sugar or it doesn't taste right at all.
Yeah, I love biscuits and gravy also. Ever have gravy fries? Good old brown gravy over a big thick pile of french fries? That and a roast beef sandwich and a nice thick shake and I'm a happy man! Damn, I wonder how I manage not to get fat!
The Blackhawks certainly aren't the team they used to be, but someday they will be a strong force in the league again. No team should rely on a single player. That's why there are 5 other guys on the ice with him.
