? How come the ultra-swank Marriot Suites which goes for $185/night discounted only offers internet for an additional $9.95 per day? On the other hand, the ghetto Park Plaza Hotel, which I had to scramble to book for a couple days, (damn ballplayers comin' in for spring training) offers a nice beefy wireless internet connection free of charge.

Oh well it will be moot when I get my Apple Airport Express which will allow wireless everywhere I travel.

  run Started working out again after a fairly long layoff. For a while I thought my two weekends of basketball a month would keep my weight stable but that was not the case. It took a fair amount of discipline just to start up again but after that it becomes routine. The worst is the first day of running when you get the chills and shivers and your heart seems like it can't take much more. Once I reach that point I just dial it down a bit, hope the next day better. And it is. My max heart rate was probably around 160ish which freaked me out until I found out the MHR is calculated by 220-age. Which still seems a bit high to me.

On the other hand, the long layoff didn't seem to affect how much I was able to lift. It is recommended not to work out too often to allow the muscles to heal. As long as you refresh the workouts a couple times a month.  ¶ 5:20 AM 0 comments
