one of my co-workers sent me a link to an interesting article this morning. although there may be some exceptions, i must say i agree with most of it.
if you can’t park it, you shouldn’t be driving it.

i am now officially certified to teach Spinning ! i successfully completed the new instructor orientation yesterday. this is something i’ve wanted to do for a long, long time. over the years, i’ve met many different Spinning/indoor cycling instructors. some have inspired me, others not so much. after having completed the course, i wonder… what kind of instructor will i be ? i have the right attitude, drive and motivation, but the thought of 30 people staring at me scares me half to death. i’m sure that i will conquer my fear but it’ll take a lot of intimidating stares. yikes !
i couldn’t have gone through this certification without the inspiration and support of certain people in my life. i know it sounds a bit over-dramatic, but thanks to them (you know who you are), i was able to achieve one of my dreams. thank you !! and thanks to Laura, Jason, Adrian and Sonya for celebrating with me at Sublime last night !
i’m trying to increase my running times by small fractions. i really don’t want to hurt myself this time. pretty responsible of me, huh Ted ? 
i got a sharp piercing pain 4 minutes into Friday’s run. i stopped, stretched and walked for a bit. i played around with my form a bit when i started running again until i felt comfortable. the rest of the run was fine.

i’m not a big fan of bumper stickers but every now and then i see one that makes me laugh. then, rarely (e.g.: last night), i come across one that makes me think…
“It will be a great day when schools get all the money they need, and the Air Force holds a bake sale to buy a bomber.”
Geoff and i went to a fetish party this weekend. i had never been to one and didn’t quite know what to expect. it was all good though. we had a wonderful time ! the music was great and i was thrilled to see all sorts of interesting people.
this week was kinda lame. most people start off the new year with a bang while i tend to stay away from the crowds at the gym. at least i can run now ! yay !
