Day 3...

And the final day of the Execute Package, at least for 2003, I expect. Today's load consisted of the usual two Form 24s, along with a 6-page radiogram devoted to troubleshooting a cycle ergometer problem. (The cycle ergometer is a Russian exercise device in which the user turns pedals - either by hand or with the legs - against a resisting load.) I am happy to report that I now know entirely too much about this device (or, at least, about how to troubleshoot it).

I rose at a reasonable time this morning and went for a two-mile walk after breakfast. I was aiming for a 4 mph pace and was off by only 20 seconds after completing the loop. In general, I must say I have felt better, i.e., more energetic, these past few weeks since starting Atkins; I even entertain notions of starting to jog, but am easily controlling such impulses. The Russian expression "хорошого по немножку!" [roughly: "good things are to be done in moderation"] would appear to govern, in this case.

Weighing heavily on the immediate to-do list:
A. My invoice for the past week.
B. Completing the translation due tomorrow morning.
C. Completing the outstanding editing pages.

Cheers...
