Gettin in the groove

Just figured out this blogging whatnot and am putting up old news. I'll make an attempt to keep at this in timely fashion as it is always important to write down thoughts, share pictures, and offer a neutral perspective on other's (Matt's) outlandish tales. 

Since arriving here on Jan 1, Cork has provided friendly people, a stress free atmosphere, and plenty of stout beer. I've had great times and already made great memories with the group of csbsju students as well as others. Life is good.


Jan 6:

First day of classes

Walking was the word of the day. The built in pedometer on my phone registered over 16,000 steps. While I have never calibrated it for accuracy, a typical day at sju would register about 4000 steps. On top of that, I went for a run on this "cold" afternoon. People gave me more looks than usual while wearing shorts in 35 degree heat. During the run, I went over to the local track for a few laps where I met tim miles' irish cousin. He wasn't mad, but saw me running in lane 3 and quickly and sternly (ala tim miles) told me to stay in outside lanes as frost had accumulated on the inner lanes. Not a problem, but I did wonder what he would think of sju's track in march, packed with runners and only one or 2 lanes cleared with the snowblower.
