Running, World sux

I put in almost a mile and 3/4 on the treadmill over lunch. Since I stopped running several years ago I still have done aerobic exercise on a regular basis, stuff like the stationary bike, cross trainer, steppers and recumbant bikes. Although those get your heart rate up it is nowhere near the same as running. On the treadmill you have to get through that point of discomfort where you just want to slow down or stop. When you are done running you feel spent, spent in a complete way that other machines can’t duplicate. The only other aerobic machine I ever found that hammered me like running does is the versaclimber. You know that thing Dolph was using in Rocky IV? 10 minutes on that thing seemed like an hour if you pushed yourself. By the end of next week I’m hoping to be able to put in a 2 mile run without passing out.

I heard on the radio some group is threatening to sue any manufacturer that continues to use the Master / Slave designation that is used in the computer industry to indentify hard drives in a multiple drive configuration. They don’t like the idea that it could be perceived as racist in origin. COME ON! How f’in ridiculous and petty can you possibly be? My Green Bay goodwill has all but evaporated already. Morons.
