Good day again today. Shake for breakfast, almonds mid-morning, calamari (same as yesterday) for lunch, almonds late afternoon and shake for dinner. Supplements - thermobubbles in the am plus flush and cleanse pills, vitamin superjuice (lemon), Ugo's choice probiotic, Hoodia. 45 minutes of cardio on Mabel, the cross-trainer. Hurrah!
Signed up for the ballot for the Great North Run. When my sister suggested it last year, the consensus from me and other sister was 'GNR - GTF!'. However, I need something to work towards. I was speaking to a colleague today who was telling me how to get into running training and gave me some great information on using a heart rate monitor to work in HR zones. Going to get launched into it when my fitness is up a little. More here
Another colleague gave me another link to Take to The Streets that helps you design a running program to build yourself up to a half marathon, or the distance of your choice. It seems that for every 'enabler', there is a person that will have helpful and rousing advice!
I was kicking about on a Google Walk today (when you google something and end up about 300 sites away from where you started) and started looking at and for Infographics. Infographics fill me with great, great joy. I could rave about them for hours - art meets science in a big way. There is loving something a normal amount - I love these more than a normal amount! Infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge. Best I have found yet is a Force-Directed layout on the Protovis project. This network represents character co-occurrence in the chapters of Victor Hugo's classic novel, Les Misérables. Node colors depict cluster memberships computed by a community-detection algorithm. This project is led by Mike Bostock and Jeff Heer of the Stanford Visualization Group, with significant help from Vadim Ogievetsky.
Off to bed.
