I joined a local running club about two months ago, got on a running program before then to get me in shape to run one of the October 7 marathons and am running in Portland in two months. I can’t wait. I wasn’t massively out of shape but have lost about 25 pounds and haven’t weighed what I weigh now since high school and can do 6 minute miles (um, in a 2 mile time trial – not as a sustained pace!)

I bought a new Yamaha Vino 125. The Vino isn’t quite the coolest scooter but it’s way cheaper than a Vespa and (I’ve been convincing myself) will be easier to maintain. I love it. If you do this and you’re married, though, it’s probably a good idea to tell your wife about it beforehand because she might not be that excited about the surprise!

It beats using a PVR and having to fast forward through commercials!
