First 5/1 for 30 tonight
This was suppose to happen Saturday morning, but I decided to sleep in and get a little extra rest before my accounting test. I don’t think it helped. So I ran it tonight and had a good run, a little back pain, legs and lungs felt pretty good.

Accounting is not for me . . .

Today I took my first test in my second accounting class, ugh, I did miserable. Totally forgot some stuff that I know and that I studied. I can not wait to be done with the accounting portion of this program. To top it off when I got out [...]

Tired
Today I did my last 4/2 run/walk for 30 minutes. I was slower than yesterday, kinda on purpose. I ran yesterday kinda hard and my back bugged me and my asthma bugged me. That was Wednesday, today I eased up on the running parts and everything felt better. Saturday goes to [...]

This and that’s from last weekend . . .

Pho 79 has great pho, I swear!
Saturday, in the late afternoon, we headed to Pho 79 in Chinatown (Los Angeles) for some great Vietnamese soup! This was a belated birthday celebration for Sang. Bill, Sang, Carrie, and I took the Gold Line to Chinatown and enjoyed great conversation with the requisite crazy drunk [...]

Cramp
Today I did the last 4 minute walk/2 minute run of the week. At about minute and half in to the first run section I got a cramp in my leg calf. Walked it off and felt okay by the end of the works. That calf is still a bit sore. [...]

RANT
I am sure this has been blogged about about a million times and even been on the news. The last few days I have run in to many drivers on cel phones in the FAST LANE going 45 MPH!!! This is beyond infuriating . . . it makes me think horrible thoughts [...]

Art and car show in Old Town Pasadena
Following hiking Zar and I met up with Lee in Old Town to check out the Hot Chicks and Cool Rides show. It was a pretty nice show with lots of retro rods and a few ’sleds. There was also a Cobra, I couldn’t tell if [...]

I should also mention that Sang came as well, but that was no surprise. We did the same hike I did last week up in Altadena. This time I snapped a few pics. This is my favorite:

Is that Michael Moore again! No! it’s Bill in [...]
