A beautiful day
Today’s weather is quite nice. It hit 70 °F today (about 21 °C) and is still that temp as I type this. The sky is a lovely blue with only a partial covering of white brush strokes of clouds. The wind has been blowing, some times quite a bit, but there’s only a hint of a cool temperature to it.
Nice work out weather, indeed. 
I decided to devote more time than usual to the warm up today. The extra time was spent walking slowly to get the blood going and the leg muscles used to moving, and from there I moved into speed walking for a few minutes and then finally (very quickly) jumping rope. The usual routine of transitioning between jumping rope and speed walking was used before doing my stretches.
Working the leg muscles followed the stretches. That was done by doing the ‘ol dojo step/crouch. That is, walking forward in (at least a rough) stance and slowly lowering one’s self down until the back knee touches the floor. Of course, you slowly lift back up into the stance, move forward, and repeat the process for the next leg, and I do that walking both forward and backward.
I gave myself a longer-than-normal cool down time to enjoy the first great day of 2006, and even considered doing push ups outside by plancing my feet up on the porch and pushing up from the back yard’s side walk. I passed on the idea, though. I’m not yet quite that heroic, and face planting into the side walk is not an enjoyable thought. :p
Even better, I finally got around to getting that hair cut that I’ve been wanting. So it was a quick jump in the shower and a ruffle of the’ol hair and I was done. I lub having short hair, it’s so darn… . . functional! 
~Mysk, rambling.
About
I’d describe myself as a very ecclectic and strange individual. My interests range from the very spiritual to the very technical, having delved into both non-mainstream faiths as well as little bit of Linux. I’ve been called a “hopeless romantic” by a very dear and intelligent woman and I find that quite fitting, and I typically shun social interaction in general.
This blog is a sister blog to Shadows In Motion and will most likely be used for personal posts; what goes on in my life, perhaps some of my writing, random thoughts and so on. Be prepared for some strange ideas!
