Mid Week Blues

Off and on for the last couple of weeks, I have been waking up at 5 and then heading to campus by ten till 6 to do some cardio workout. The benefit of knowing people, I am getting all of the experience of a personal trainer without the cost [expect in the realm of sleep]...

For the most part it has been a trade off from jogging on a treadmill for most of an hour with certain criteria added into the jog, or working out on a rowing machine. At rare moments, I am told to do whatever, but given minimums on the time i should be doing cardio...

This morning was unique in that it was trying and interesting at the same time. Working on an incline trainer, I did a program that simulates a trail in the Tetons, not a long one a total of maybe two miles, but needless to say it was trying given that at points it went from a 10% grade to a 35% grade or the 13% grade to 50% grade jump...under different circumstances I would have quit...but its harder to do so when you make special effort to do it.

Its the middle of the week and I am unsure what I have accomplished or what needs to be done, a side effect of not being in school and work consisting of reading a lot of user manuals.

On a personal enrichment side, I am working on understanding data compression, or how to work with data compression. It seemed an interesting topic and it continues to be interesting on how it should work. OH well
