Intervals, Alien
Did 15 minutes warm up 2 x 15 at upper zone 4, 15 minutes warm down. It didn’t suck as bad as it should have. Which means that on Wednesday, I need to go 3x.
Watched the second half of Alien on the trainer. Suspense doesn’t really work very well when you are exerting yourself. Times stretched out enough, I found myself wondering at one point ‘Jesus Christ, is this thing gonna kill Yaphet Kotto any time soon?’

VV Part VI
Another not so great showing. got dumped someplace in Ambler again.
The cold was quite managable. I double bagged my hands with a set of running gloves and then my bigger nicer gloves. I did 2 sets of socks, and booties on the feet. I did 5 layers on the chest, 3 layers on the legs, and a ski mask and a winter hat beneath the helmet. I’m still not going to start commuting again for at least a few more weeks. Its nice to know that I could though if I needed too.

Sharks, Trainers, etc
I was passed a story about a guy in Australia who survived a great white shark attack at work yesterday.
I love this gem:
“He believed it was a 9 foot (3 meter) white pointer. He said he fought it off,” she said.
No dude, you didn’t fight off a 2 ton animal, that’s not how it works. The shark let you go.
Heh.
Did another hour on the trainer this morning. Watched the Sci-Fi version of Dune.

Knockin on Heaven’s Door
Got on the trainer today for an hour. Sweated up a storm. Watched The Cowboy Beebop Movie. It remains a classic.
