D228 - Consolidate

I really need to consolidate my running 'supplies' for this training program as it's getting to be a bulky mess out on the road. As it stands, I have my mobile for speed/distance/timing of my runs, my ipod for music to run to, and headphones (obviously). Also I carry my ID in case I get stopped for running in the middle of the night as if that hasn't happened already. A house key and a flashlight are the last two items. I used to not carry the ipod but my mobile likes to recycle while playing music because it's awesome.

Tonight, I ran my fastest time yet, but can only prove it by what my phone recorded, which was only 2.3 miles at 19:34 minutes. The last mile recorded was a 9:31 and I pushed pretty hard through mile 3. At about 3.2 miles I took my phone out to see my time, it was powered off. Awesome. My ipod was at 28 minutes and some change. This isn't the first time I've lost my time and sadly it will not be the last. At least until I upgrade to a new device. But until then, if you see a guy running down your street at 2am with bulky pockets don't call the police, it's just me. Besides after 3 miles I'm mostly harmless!

D174 - Back into the routine

The routine is not just the blog. Getting back into the routine of practicing Japanese and trying to tackle a few characters a night. Actually I am planning on to take a Japanese proficiency test [N3] at the end of the year , which means I needs to know at least 350 characters, fun times.

This is the character for time, 10 strokes, can be a duration of time, time on a clock (one o'clock), interval, age, period, season, hour (speed per hour), moment, and several other meanings depending on the characters it used with. With practice reading the kanji and understanding it's meaning will be come second nature, just like anything that you do in routine.

Enjoy.

D153 - Timing

The minutes keep ticking away into hours and then mount up into days. A lot of things on the plate for the next few month, so much so I have a 3 page task list that needs to be attacked. It will be interesting to see how on schedule I can stay since for every item I cross off, 3 more get added to the bottom. Would be nice to have a clone to knock out some of the task while I was at work or sleeping.

Next on the list: Sleep
Then: Emails
Enjoy

D137 - TIme

The sands of time wait for no one, unless the hour glass is on it's side of course. Also, you can stop time by enjoying a moment..I know, it sounds corny, but it's true. The next you are driving on the highway and your hood pops open crushing your windshield, take note, that will be one of  those instances when the rules of time do not apply, and possibly the rules of bladder control as well.

Enjoy,

Ja mata,
