I realized I'm going to kill someone if I don't start running, especially with three weeks before a PT test. I'll let myself go after the test, but this is one time when I'm going to just take the fucking pain and just run.

Today made for an interest set in the iThink this morning.  It's interesting to see what sparks what when you're on the run.

I hadn't thought about "Cars and Helicopters" in a while, first time I heard it was 25 years ago on Hearts of Space on NPR when I was in high school.  Not sure where the Craig Safan bit came from, but as I was running, I was reminded of the opening credits to Hamburger Hill, and then I remembered about Bobby Troup on the show Emergency, which I watch on the TiVo as I'm punishing myself to pushups and situps in the evening.

I also realized that I'm starting to get bigger and that's just not acceptable. I realized this as I was rolling the trash can out to the kerb and the line "because you are a disgusting fatbody, Private Pyle" came to mind.

Time to see how bad I hurt later today. Might not be that many people at work since the government shut down today...
