well, here i am.

man, i start school this week for real, and i really have to say...i'm freaking out a little. i was cooler than cool about orientation because it was just, well, orientation. this is for real, and i guess i'm worried that i'm not smart enough, and that people just won't like me (i need stuart smally or whatever al frankin's character's name was).

playoff teams don't find ways to lose, which is what the brewers did yesterday. i hate to say this, but they aren't a playoff team. that doesn't mean i'll stop cheering for them until the end. and hell, there have been several instances where teams that shouldn't be in the playoffs win the world series. my one and only question, and i do this with a little hesitation...why is greg aquino on the 30 man roster, and more importantly, why is he being used in tight situations in the midst of a pennant race when he couldn't throw strikes in april? i'm a big ned yost fan but come on...

more thoughts about the buckshot. upon further review, my time was in line with my vdot estimate for the distance based on previous performances at other distances. i guess that is a feather in the cap considering the last 2 miles felt like a death march. add my marathon in about a month to the list of things that are making me uber-nervous and jittery at the moment. 22 miles this sunday, 18 miles (with 8 miles at marathon pace) the following weekend, and then it's pretty much wait and see. holy crap.

happy tuesday.
