AM-Progressive run with a gradual increase every minute in pace at .5 incline. 6:30-5:27/mile progression. Eventually I want to get to the point where I'm used to the incline adjustment and don't even really notice. Well.. at least not as much:) My experience has told me 1.5-2% incline equals flat road pace. Depending on the treadmill and it's deck of course. Anyway, it was a great workout and hopefully will add to my base training well.

On a side note I guess according to right wing radio propaganda I am now considered a "Paulbot". All because I believe in a more literal translation of the constitution and no longer want any more of the status quo back in Washington.

PM-Easy 6 miles on 7th east. 7:30-8/min pace.

B-Cereal/oranges. Sn- 3 Peanut butter cookies (large) Yum.. L-Cheese/bread. D-Crockpot Chicken and Rice with Cream/mushroom soup. carrots. Snack-3 more cookies and fruit with milk.

I'm a Ron Paul supporter too. I majored in Economics and he makes a lot of sense. I'd take you up on that run anytime, I have a fairly flexible work schedule.

I'll pm you as soon as I figure out exactly what time and day. Maybe next Monday?

From ACorn on Fri, Jan 06, 2012 at 15:36:06 from 68.66.168.22

Yeah. I'll PM you my cell # and we can make something work. I look forward to meeting you.

Candidates who have really rabid supporters always get nicknames.

Remember the "Perotistas" from 92?

I assume you meant that you want no more of the status quo back in Washington except for Ron Paul right? He's been in Washington since the early 1980s.

I like the way you challenge my statements Rob, It keeps me on my toes:) But it's like what Ronald Reagan said; "There is no right or left, only up or down". Time to throw the emergency brake and re-route this train.

From Rob Murphy on Fri, Jan 06, 2012 at 20:33:35 from 76.27.122.13

OK, I see your point. But our country and our government does a lot of great things as well. Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

From steve ash on Fri, Jan 06, 2012 at 21:58:06 from 24.10.169.210

Don't get me wrong, I believe in a strong central government, but I don't think even Alexander Hamilton had the kind we have now in mind. In fact I think he would roll over in his grave..

Ron Paul is not a perfect candidate. But who can be? At least what you see is what you get. Can't say that about Romney, Santorum, etc.

I guess don't have an opinion or do I:)

From Rob Murphy on Fri, Jan 06, 2012 at 22:07:12 from 76.27.122.13

Actually, Hamilton favored a president that would be elected for a lifetime term. He also hated the individual states and would have abolished them if he had his way. "Wretched nurseries of unceasing discord" he called them. Hamilton stopped just short of being a monarchist.

I am having a harder time deciding who to vote for than I ever have. So since I can't decide I'm having a great time running down everyone else's choice. :)

I'm interested in your recent efforts at dietary improvement. We'll have to chat about that sometime.

From steve ash on Fri, Jan 06, 2012 at 22:24:33 from 24.10.169.210

You know your history I'll admit that. Ok, We can do that just let me know a time and when I get my work schedule we'll coordinate.
