Today, for exercise, I went to Quest Martial Arts for my first ninja lesson. While it wasn't exactly a physical work out (we did a couple bear walks and a couple crab walks) it was very interesting. I learned some different punch moves (basically the jab and the cross from boxing) It has a very different mentality than the Army's combative program.
Book read: Gwenhwyfar: The White Spirit by Mercedes Lackey. (An Arthur story from the female point of view so its rather depressing at the end)

Ouch...
Exercise: None. Arms and shoulders still on fire from rock climbing. I think I have bruises on the back of my thighs from the harness. Tomorrow, I am going to go to Quest Martial Arts to go get beat up. I'm excited :-)
Books Read:
A Touch of Dead by Charlaine Harris (short stories)
True Confessions by Rachel Gibson
I went to work today. First time in weeks. I was very productive :-) It felt tremendously good :-)

Day 2
I went rock climbing with Jim. Needless to say it kicked my ass. I will be sore. It was my exercise for the day.
Book finished: Dead and Gone by Charlaine Harris

Happy New Year!
I have decided that I want to keep a blog this year for a couple different purposes:
- to track my running and other fitness activities
- to keep people up to date with my graduating-job-searching life
- to rant like any good American should
I hope to be fairly regular with my postings but who exactly knows how that will go!
Anyway, new years resolutions:
- Find a job. I graduate 7 May with my Masters and I'd rather not be homeless
- Keep track of my fiances and spending. Not that I'm bad with money, but one can always be better.
- Run another half marathon. I ran my first this past year (Detroit Half on 18 October - in about 2 hours 15 minutes) and I'd like to do it again. Hopefully faster.
