<p>I don’t know whether we’re hiring or not but my building is almost all software engineering. I think that I’ve only had a Krispy Kreme donut once in my life. I really should avoid donuts - I think that my favorite donut place - Dunkin, uses trans-fats in some of their bakery products. I’m pretty sure that they use them in their bagels.</p>
<p>I don’t think that you’d like running up here in the winter. There are many people that run regularly but not everyday - there are some days when you run indoors.</p>
<p>Sorry to hear that some are skipping such delicious and nutricious food as donuts. Yummm! No skipping here.</p>
<p>Week 7 workout 1, check. Still had something left so I pushed hard at the end. I am now officially whooped.</p>
<p>^Whooped person definitely deserves a donut or 2, if she likes them or some other treat to reward the hard work.</p>
<p>Idad: Had to laugh when you mentioned the carioca and the skipping exercises in the NRLL warmup–those were the two exercises that I skipped at the gym today. In the last two years since I’ve been serious about exercise, I’ve gained a great deal of upper body strength (when I was working with a trainer, she told me I was strongest woman she’s trained). That being said–I am totally lacking in coordination and those two exercises require more coordination than I’ve got. When I’m at home, I try, but often end up doing what the book calls the “social anxiety option” for those two exercises.</p>
<p>We bring in bagels and pastries from Panera on Tuesday. </p>
<p>I confess I has 1/2 of a cinnamon roll today. Had a carb-free lunch to balance it out.</p>
<p>Dunkin Donuts claims to be trans-fat free, I believe Boston and Cambridge have actually banned them.</p>
<p>NROL for life workout and elliptical for me today. I miss my running. Last week when I did the warmup for NROL, I forgot that my calf was injured and did the jumping things, which caused more damage I think. This week I can jump, but when I tried to run a little, the calf spoke to me, so I stopped. I’ll wait another week and try again.</p>
<p>I’m so glad to hear that donuts are now nutritious. I’ve always felt that they were a totally misunderstood food group.</p>
<p>Mike Boyle has a great article on his StrengthCoach.com blog. I definitely think it’s worth reading…</p>
Wow. That was painful. Yep…Airdyne intervals. Three intervals to 90% of max heart rate, recovering with easy pedalling in between until my HR fell to 65% of max. I pushed the pace really hard.
There’s something about the Airdyne that makes me feel like I’m simply not going to be able to catch a breath after an interval. You can see from the graphs how quickly the heart rate goes up and how long it takes for it fall. Brutal. But, it’s over in 20 minutes!

BC. I pulled the trigger on new eyeglasses, so watch for your NIKE stock to skyrocket. I might have mosey on over to the Dressing Young thread, now that I’ve hopped on board the latest 2012 fashion trends! No more ol’ (formerly) fat guy wire rims for me! 
I hunted and hunted for similar frames that didn’t have NIKE advertising on them, but the only thing I found was HUGO BOSS in black and orange. I’m not THAT trendy!
3.25 miles, around 9:00 pace. Also abs dolly plus, farmers walk (80 pounds), Smith Machine and some free weights. I also worked out before going to the office and am trying to decide on doing part of an Efit30 before going to bed.
The stock market is in a funk because of Europe. I don’t think that the stock market, and that includes Nike, goes north by much until there are better economic signals here and abroad and that doesn’t look likely this summer.
<p>When there are solutions and improving economic signs. Central Bankers seem to like to sit on their hands over the summer waiting for better data unless there’s a crisis.</p>
<p>I figure when it appears there’s good, solid, convincing news about Europe, the market here will soar about 700 points in one day. I don’t want to miss that day!!</p>
<p>I will respond in the investment thread.</p>
Did I just spot a bear? Runners need to know these things. 
Of course if I were to spot a bull while out on the path, then I really need to start worrying.
I’m pretty sure that my “investment” in NIKE eyeglass frames will single-handledly lift the world economy out of recession…
But, if not, surely they will make me jog faster, squat jump higher, and dead lift heavier. Right?
<p>The important thing is that you look good.</p>
<p>I buy my eyeglasses on-line.</p>
<p>3500+ frames to choose from, as cheap as $7. The frames I get are memory titanium, and are typically around $20. The price includes 1.57 index lenses.</p>
<p>It’s astonishing how overpriced eyeglasses are at retail stores.</p>
<p>Zenni Optical - and they’re not even the cheapest.</p>
<p>I contacted Zenni a few years ago with my requirements. They didn’t have any frames that could meet them. They are like WalMart - they aim for the sweet middle 70% - if you’re outside their zone, you’re out of luck.</p>
<p>My trifocals will cost me $10. I’m reusing old frames so no frame cost. Insurance will pick up the costs of the lenses.</p>
<p>The last pair I priced at Pearl, they claimed they were $700 glasses before insurance, over $200 after insurance. $25 on-line.</p>
<p>DW bought DS a pair that were $450 (!) after insurance. Why she would pay that much for glasses for a 13 year old… yeah.</p>
<p>Of course, he lost them. Got virtually the exact same thing to replace them on-line for $20.</p>
