Finally

Finally broke 10 minutes running today. Ran my mile in 9:55, but you'd be surprised how much more difficult it was to squeeze out that extra fifteen seconds since my last run. I think I'm going to have to chill at this pace for awhile. It's the conditioning I want here after all.


Back to those high gas prices... It's up to $1.87 along the highway here in OK (at least around me anyway). Got me some $1.79 off-highway gas today since it's probably going up again soon. Turns out I wasn't too far off the low in the city according to Oklahoma City Gas Prices.

It kills me that I thought of putting up a site like that back in 1996 when the web was young and new ideas were everywhere for the taking, but I didn't have the time or resources. If I had a million dollars for every good idea I've had I'd be... well, at least a millionaire... but maybe a multi-millionaire. However, if you then took away a dollar for every BAD idea I've had, I'd probably then be in debt.

Today I was reminiscing back to the early 90s when I was in college and gas was $0.79 a gallon. And I drove a Festiva. Rock on! :) So like once a month I had to fill up... and for REALLY cheap. I love my VUE, and will not give it up, but I anxiously await the hybrid version next year.
