I cheated and listened to Patrick Stewart reading it while painting my bedroom (me painting, not Patrick Stewart).

  You're doing very well then! My advice is: see how it goes. Keep that option open as long as you can. If you have to sign up fairly soon do so if you can and then see how it goes. Also try to start training outside as much as you can. I went to my kinda local pub last night but it was soooooooo packed that I gave up after about an hour and a half. Still, managed to catch quite a good band playing so can't complain. I must say though college seems a bit empty today

lol college is always empty on a wednesday though? Atl east here it is because its never more than a half day.

Are you at college in ireland then? Have applied for a job in Cork for when i graduate (if i graduate?:P)

ps just foudn a really funny picture of me uploaded on facebook, not entirely sure what i was donig lol

Yeah doing my PhD in Applied Languages in Limerick. Unfortunately we don't have half days here - i'm afraid the reason for it was simply a national hangover What are you studying? You look awfully young in that picture!

I'm actually 21 and doing my final year of Electronic And Computer Engineering at Uni of Nottingham.

Do you know any other languages then? I've always been interested in french and know a reasonable amount but gramatically its horrible lol. 

"Some running should be different mentally just the way it is different physically. On my easy runs, I may use the time to relax and let my mind wander, but I never do that in hard workouts or races."

I have always liked the idea of learning English from DaisyMouse.  That could be because she called me stonking once.

Ceade.  Don't feel bad about Moby Dick.  I read 60-100 books a year (not counting training and nutrition books or mags) and I have never read it either.  Always thought I read Bram Stokers  "Dracula" and realized I hadn't so I just finished that a little bit ago.  Actually quite tame compared to movies,  but good none the less.

Thanks. The bit i'm worried about is the run rather than teh swim. I am absolutely crap at running as it just hurts me knees so much.

I have decided i'll do it for charity too. One of my dear friends mum is blind, and its a hereditary disease which means one day he will just wake up blind also. I have a huge amount of respect for the man as he does so much good stuff and so i'm going to fundraise a bit for the charity that he helps out and that helps him out.

This weeks weight 194.4

So that is up .2, but I can love with that!

I agree with Saling.  The distances are short enough that none of the three disciplines should be a problem, it will give you a flavor or triathlon and you will be hooked forever. 

i still have night mares from doing latin at secondary shcool.

caecilius est in via

and the like

history / classical civs is quite interesting tho

THe joke is that Moby Dick is the story of the whaling Quakers of Nantucket.

The movies always gloss over it but the book has alot of history of the men from Nantucket.

My late weigh in is 211.6

Not what I was hoping for but then again when you don't eat right what should I expect???

thing about latin is hte history side is great and the way that you can see where english words came from is interesting, for example an ambulance is literally translated as 

"does the walking for you"
