Well it appears that I have once again been slacking on my blogging...but I have to say I have a good excuse! I have been watching my team, the Yankees dominate the AL East! GO YANKEES!! REPEAT!!!

Actually I have been running...a lot. After skipping missing three days two weeks ago and having terrible runs following the three off days I have been making sure to not only run all the runs that are in my work out plan, but also making up the runs that I missed. Let me tell you, I haven't felt better the entire time I have been training. I ran some of the fastest runs since I started training for the San Diego Marathon.

Starting today, training is going to be harder to do at work though. Apparently, during my four days off, someone left work early for a medical appointment but didn't get anyone to cover for him. Somehow this translated in our LT's mind that we are no longer entitled to leave to work out during the day. Not only that, we aren't allowed to leave to get food either. It doesn't translate for me how a one persons medical appointment could mean that everyone on the watch floor is denied the opportunity to eat or work out...especially considering our long working hours and the fact that the Navy mandates that every command provide their sailors the opportunity to work out at least three times a week. It ridiculous and out of control. Today I was supposed to run 17 miles so I was forced to get up at 5 am so that I could get in my run before work. As it turned out, I'm going to have to get up a lot earlier in order to finish my runs and still make it to work on time. I'll be finishing my run tonight when I get home. All I can say is that this stupid rule is only going to reduce an already low morale and I have a feeling that without a doubt this is going to be reflected in the quality of work that comes out of this office.

Oh man! I literally just got the best news ever! So I may have made mention of how much I want an iPad recently (here) well, the wife just told me that her parents have decided to go ahead an buy me one as a very early Christmas present! I get it tomorrow!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!! I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP TONIGHT KNOWING THAT I WILL BE GETTING AN IPAD TOMORROW! Expect the next blog to be from that most awesome device!!!
