Found an online training regime. They suggest, for a 13 week training regime, start with 1 mile and add one mile every week. That's 13 weeks or 3 months. I have roughly 8 weeks.
They suggest to initially try runmomg non-stop for 30 minutes. I can barely do 20 minutes right now!! How am I gonna catch up? Needa accelerate the training... push for 7 miles by the end of this week!

Inception
$17.50 for two tickets!?!? Are you kidding me?????? When did they start charging an arm and a leg for 2 hours of worthless entertainment? We got our movie pass at Costco, but it was still $15! How do young people afford to date nowadays? Popcorn, soda... maybe a lunch or dinner. Darn you capitalistic monoliths!!!!
As for the movie... *sigh.... I fell asleep during the first 20 minutes. So was the rest of 2 hours a dream? Did I actually sit through 2 hours of over-exaggerated action? Cuz in reality, I'm sure I wouldn't pay $15 to watch a movie like that!!!
Apologies to the folks who loved INCEPTION. But for those of you who compared it to "MEMENTO", I am on the verge of disassociating myself from you. Ok... maybe not that drastic. But it's close.

Training: New highs!
Woohoo!! Pushed 4 laps around the block today. By the Google Map's guesstimation...each lap is around 0.6 miles. So I'm around 2 miles at roughly 10 minutes per mile. Time wise, it's a little embarrassing, but at least I'm building up on endurance and stamina.

Word origins...
How about these days when people say, "Oh... I'm gonna tape the show on my DVR." or "I'll tape the game and watch it later." People in my generation (Gen-X and earlier) probably still know what it means. But kids these days under the age of 10 probably have no clue!! But it probably rolls off their tongue like the Pledge of Allegiance.

Happy Endings...
Not that I watch TMZ or Extra or ET...but I am a closet fan of celebrity gossip. Especially their love lives. Recently, gossip has it that 許志安 & 鄭秀文傳復合.
Still remember back in the days when they ruled HK showbiz. Then all of a sudden, they go their separate ways. But if two people are truly meant together, 10 years shouldn't be a big barrier, should it?
There are those who hit a HR on their first at-bat. There are those who strike out...and are waiting for their next go around. And then there are those who are great players, but still roaming in the minors or riding pine. Oh... sports analogies. You can't go wrong with them.

Training: Inertia
The worst part about training is the initial step. Once you've stopped doing something for a while... it's the worst feeling to have to start over. Cuz in your mind... you still recollect when you were able to run a 5 minute mile... or dunk... or type 70 WPM.
Started, or shall I say, restarted tonight by running 2 laps. I vaguely remember that being around 1 mile. I can barely run a mile... how am I gonna make 13.1?
Mood: disappointed

大開殺戒
過去兩天, 梁府發生了五單恐殺案. 不是府上的人殺氣重, 而是死者們自投羅網!
蒼蠅啊蒼蠅... 為何天堂有路你不走? 反而處處逼人, 逼老夫大開殺戒呢? 不要怪我心狠手辣, 手下無情. 怪就只怪你自己頭腦簡單, 大限已到.
哈哈哈哈.... 哈哈哈哈... 哈哈哈哈..(呼吸).. 哈哈哈哈!!

What is a sport?
Absolutely love it when the debate arises about... What is a sport?
Some argue, "You need to physically impede someone..." That rules out tennis, golf, bowling....
Some argue, "You can't use a machine..." That rules out cycling and autoracing...
Some argue, "If you don't need a judge that can decide the outcome..." That rules out 70% of the Olympics...(figure skating, diving...)
But y'know what sport we just described??? America's past time.... BASEBALL!!!
How many times have umpires decided the outcome of a game? Like the imperfect Perfect Game this year? Or today's Giants' lost to the Mets! (Yes...this is a ranting post). It was completely the umpires incompetence that has tarnished our game!!!

A trophy wife...
From our daily devotion a few days ago...
Ever been to a company function... or a high school / college reunion? And you see your friend and his/her spouse and say, "He married HER!?!!" or "She married HIM!!?" I guess depending on your imagination... that can go many ways. Now imagine satan saying to our Savior, "You married THEM!?!?"
Don't you feel compelled to step up your game? Prov 31 isn't just used to bless our wives - but it's God using it to bless his church. And likewise, we can bless God by being the trophy wife we ought to be.

He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD. ~Prov 18:22I love these types of verses. It reminds me of what a blessing Joyce is in my life. If there's anything I can be proud of myself for is 1) my dashing good looks and 2) my trophy wife.
