we were – this has been a quick, quick weekend – it helps to be quick when you’re out until 2:30 am with a football game (it’s not my fault espn 2 wanted it as the preview for the hawaii-nevada game – the group i sat around, being alabama football experts – cough, cough – have assured me though that the mississippi state game will be at 11:30 – which means most of them will lose their expertness – which seemed to come from lots and lots of alcohol – oh joy…)

i did get 200 pages read in “the annotated us constitution and declaration of independence” yesterday – pretty interesting read about why we got both documents – and how both documents should be read – for example, both documents were rather new to the world – so the system of government that was outlined was meant to be a work in progress – ironically, it’s been viewed as rather a document you don’t change

the other book i read (i did finish “war of the worlds” early last week – thought about ordering a class set but then found out that it’s 12th grade reading – at least the author is – so there went that idea – you’re not going to miss much though – it wasn’t great), was “the runner’s body” – i also got a book late in the week, “road to the top” which was about running – just 10 years earlier with its publication – both books were similar in that they used science to drive the advice about running – like the importance of vo max (having lungs that can take in a lot of oxygen)

i’m now to the psalms – like psalm 65 – i found a few that talked about running – which was cool b/c i was running on the treadmill when i read it – i also read the sports illustrated story on the agent that came clean this week by ratting on the players he paid when they were in the ncaa – the story wasn’t that shocking

guess those are the highlights – two weeks until i’m racing in tennessee
