Today's Afternoon Run...

Didn't run outside...although I wish I would have it is really nice in Edinburgh today!  Shower broken down at the flat (for the 4th straight day)...so I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill...

Morning Swim...

A little late on the post, but I finally have my gym card and this morning I went for a short swim.  Did about 750 m total of freestyle, breast stroke, and kick board.  Plan on going for a run tomorrow morning, and I will start lifting on Monday...

First Post on Mountaineering...

As promised in the subtitle, this blog is going to be about more than just economics and my PhD research.  Mountaineering is a major hobby of mine, and one that I plan on pursuing with gusto while here in Scotland.  But in order to go climbing and hiking one has to be fit and strong...and alas I am best described as soft (essentially the opposite of fit and strong).  To remedy this situation I have started a fitness program consisting of running, lifting weights, and hiking as much as possible...today was day 1 of my program: I ran 2 miles (in the rain).  That may not sound like much (and it isn't)...but one has to start somewhere...

Now off to watch more linear algebra lectures (16, 17, and 18 I think), shower, and then start my PhD lit review...
