InnerTeub

I wish I could bring you a substantive post all about the world as I see it, but I’m so tired from my stupid insistence of working out at 5am it’s all I can do to stop from slumping to the floor and sucking my thumb. So on that note, I give you a few quick hits of mildly interesting tibits:

• We have a new blogger in the family! The Boss has started blogging about his Ironman training. He promises a new blog title is coming, now that he’s done being annoyed with DC politics circa 2008.
• I’ve been doing some really neat stuff at work, which I’d love to talk about but can’t, except to say that the stuff I was doing today was making me wish I’d finished my masters in Statistics, and when work can make that seem fun, you know you’re doing something right. (Extreme side note to the English majors that I used to teach in Intro Stat: SEE? I told you statistics was awesome!)
• I’ve started my Ironman training “for real”, which is to say that I’m officially scared of the 112 mile bike ride that is coming my way. Not to mentioned the 2.4 mile swim and 26.2 mile run.
• Related: that fear was apparently not strong enough to make me actually go do my swim workout yesterday.
• Related related: It WAS strong enough to get me out of bed at 4:40AM to get my workout in before heading into the office. Y’all, there is just no way around it: if you get your workout in before the rest of the world/family wakes up, life is so much easier. Except for the part where you’re ready for bed by 2pm.
