The Robot's Thoughts

I haven't been blogging very much because things have been pretty much same old same old. Things with the SO are good. Work isn't making me go gray, nobody in my family seems to be getting sick, and things have settled into a routine.

A nice quiet, peaceful routine.

So I'm trying to change it up a bit. October, as I've previous mentioned, is national christopher wilson awareness month. So here are the improvements I'm trying to make this month.


Early Riser: Its doubtful that I will ever be a 'morning person'. But I know I'm shooting myself in the foot by working 9-5 when the majority 7-3. Also, I just find myself lazier the later it gets: I don't like working out as much at 6 or 7pm than I do at 3pm or 4pm. So I'm going to make an effort to go to bed earlier, and wake up earlier.

Cut Down: I'm switching to a cardio-intensive, long-distance training routine at the gym. There was a 5K race this past saturday, and I chickened out of it. I only gave myself a week prep time, and I was sick thoughout most of the week, so I was setting myself up to fail. When I woke up at 7:30, it was dark out, rainy, and cold.

So I just went back to bed.

Now I'm doing about 3-4 miles a day on the treadmill, and focusing on training for muscular endurance. So far, for day one, I'm at least meeting my goals.

Geekery: I'm going to try to geek out more. That goes without saying. I'm also going to try to relax more -- by listening to more of my music while I work and when I work out.
