I had the sweetest set up for my run tonight. I had my Netflix account ready, my big screen projector and a pretty cool documentary called King of Kong. It was about video games…old school video games to be exact. To be even more exact it was about the World Champion of Donkey Kong Steve Weibe.

One cool thing to note when streaming my Netflix from my laptop to a projector. Naturally, the sound on my cheap laptop is not strong enough for movie quality listening. I solved this by running a speaker wire form my laptop headphone jack right into the receiving / female speaker jack on my treadi. I just used an old wire from some computer speakers. It actually worked great and promoted a long and enjoyable run was movie long!

I play soccer tomorrow outside. I have not decided if I will try to get a run on top of that.

I played soccer tonight after a big meal with my family. It did not feel so well but I worked out none the less. We actually won…so that was good.

Will someone provide me a good explanation about why my weight goes up after a long run? I suspect it is a muscle burn thing.

So I was lucky enough to catch a movie with Harrison Ford right when I jumped on the treadi. I will watch any thing with Harrison Ford, but this was called Random Hearts. It was pretty good for a love story and even better that it lead to what I am calling the random big run.

I had a few real things get in the way of my drop, so it felt good to get back on the horse. It was even better that my body feels great after the random big run. I did take it rather slow.

One last note…the weather is getting nice outside. I think I will run a little outside, but I have to admit the movie run really might be a new thing for me. I loved it!
