Monday: The usual. Ran 20*100's and lifted.

Tuesday: We had a team meeting today. I got a chance to meet some of the freshmen. Looks like our freshman class will be pretty descent. We got this recruit from a far away land who is going to surprise everyone. Ran 5*500's.

Wednesday: Today was the first day some of the freshmen practiced. Ran a hill workout. 3*300's, 3*100's, 3*300's. Looking back on things, maybe it was a bad idea to start the freshmen off on a hill workout.

Thursday: Recovery day. Did a light warm up and called it quits.

Friday: I felt kind of sick, so I took it easy. I got in a good warm up and then biked for 20 minutes.

Saturday: Took the day off. Long weekend of homework.

Sunday: I did homework, but I had to break up the day with a little workout. I was feeling guilty about not lifting 3 times this week, so I decided to do something to make up for it. I jogged for 20 minutes, got a good stretch, and did some abs.

ROUND HERE

Mid-term is finally upon the students and UST. I love it! NOT! In case you are not familiar with mid-term at UST here is a summary: Mid-term typically last two weeks and every long night is filled with cramming and memorizing pointless facts that'll soon be forgotten. And if you happen to be one of the unfortunate students then you have to write countless essays about things that will have no effect on your life or on anyone else you know. Seriously, mid-terms are just another hoop the professors make you jump through before you can get your coveted sheep skin. Okay, I'm done being cynical.

This past week was pretty cool. I gave a presentation at work on the importance of having value added services in financial institutions. Yup, that's right folks...I gave a presentation at work on BS. It went pretty good. Unfortunately, I missed the Presidential Debate so I had to read all about it online. It appears Nader is still the front-runner. HA! And I'm depressed to report it was a sad, sad week for all Minnesotans. The Gopher football team choked like last year and lost to Michigan. And for the second consecutive year, the Twins lost to the Yankees and are eliminated from the playoffs.

FYI-the winning Powerball ticket for the $215 million jackpot was already bought by me, so you all can just forget about it.

LEADER OF THE PACK

The fourth installment of my Leader of the Pack Award goes to none other than Nate Page. Nate is a pole vaulter on the team and he's keepin' it real this fall by sweating blood in the weight room. Nate happens to be king of the clean and jerk. He's reppin' 120 kilos like it ain't a thing. Keep it up Nate!

WORDS OF WISDOM

This week's words of wisdom come from Mr. Dave Letterman:

"The first Presidential debate was down in Florida. Residents spent all day putting plywood on their televisions."
