Good grief. Took me long enough to go again. Slowed the pace a bit – same distance (a mile and a quarter maybe), eleven minutes “clock-to-clock” – i.e. I look right before I step out the door, run, have a cool down section, and walk inside and look again. Last time was 9 minutes I think, and I was HURTING. Not so bad now, but we’ll se tomorrow. This time I just really need to get back out there sooner.

Kind of distressing this evening. Looked down and realized I was taking a regular drugstore’s worth of pills – two ibuprofen (which is less than I often take), one multivitamin (this new one has ginko and ginseng!), one claritin generic (antihistamine), and one sudafed twelve hour (decongestant). Fuckin’ hate allergies.

Started running on Sunday. Yesterday (Tuesday) I was still in pain, and today I got an allergy attack – should have run though. The main part being I need to establish a routine. I’d like to get to 3 times a week, and then start increasing length of time and/or distance…

OK, so the new plan:

Cardhu the Mac mini as the web server, maybe running off an external firewire drive (probably the 160 GB) for size plus longevity (?).

Oban the 1 Ghz Athlon with FreeBSD 5.X as fileserver with 2 200 GB drives in software RAID-0 (gvinum).

Springbank the old fileserver goes away/becomes new testbed.

Knockando the 867 Mhz PB 12″ becomes dev/Mac testing/used more as a laptop.

New mac mini gets ordered when it would come with Tiger, used with the Dell FP2005W (need a name!).

Cosmo the Celeron 466 desktop becomes solely for Erin’s work and a 2nd browser.
