Thursday 091813

A quick run up and down the road in the dark in front of the hotel before heading out for the trans-Atlantic flight.  3.1 miles.

On the flight across the pond I checked out “Star Trek:  Into Darkness” (okay, but the Trekkie in me still was sucked in), “Oblivion” (better than I thought it was going to be but glad I caught it for free on a plane) and “42” (excellent – and Harrison Ford almost stole the damn thing).  Also checked out a couple of episodes of Game of Thrones. Not overly thrilled with that.  I think I am enjoying the books more simply because I think reading about someone getting their throat cut is one thing.  Seeing it on a TV show, even when I know it is not real is another.  That and they have the characters developed all wrong on the show. 

Broomfield XC invite tomorrow.  Oh yeah, I will be camped there all day and working the chutes in the afternoon.

  1. I have gotten to the point that I actually like the show. Thankfully they have killed off enough characters that I am not looking at Melissa every five minutes and asking, "who the F is this?"

    1. Yeah, I caught like season three episode 6. If I had not read the books it would have been like trying to pick up a soap opera in the middle of it all. There are so many characters in the books - even more than what I saw in the show. I have to often refer to the back glossary of characters to cross check who the heck is who.

  2. I am always impressed by your commitment to do things like run 3.1 miles out and back on a dark rainy street in front of the hotel before an all day flight, or putting in miles in an airport terminal (especially post 9/11), where most people, especially myself would just take that as a day off.

    1. Listening to the latest EP podcast with Tawnee and Phil and apparently this is not a healthy behavior on my part.

      The in the airport run was stupid though.
