This afternoon, Jerry and I went to a matinee at the cheap theater to see "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." I thought it was good and I enjoyed it. My only complaint? Its length. It was almost a full 3 hours long, and there were parts that I thought definitely could have either been cut or condensed. Although, if you think about it: Tickets at the cheap theater are only $3 a person, and with a film that runs 3 hours, we're really getting the most for our money! Few forms of entertainment only cost $1 an hour.
After the movie, we came home, had a quick snack and then went out for a 5 miler together. We managed to run at just under a 10 min/mile pace and finished it in 49:54, and it felt like a comfortable pace for me.
Now, I think I will have some dinner and settle in for the evening. I don't have tomorrow off (boo! I should get all holidays off, right?) but it's a short work week for Jerry and I since we leave for our cruise on Thursday. So, I think I can live with a 3 day work week, wa-hoo!
Good job on your run.
ReplyDeleteLucky you! 3 day week with a cruise at the end. :-)
5 miles...is that the farthest you've run in a while? Good job. I bet it felt awesome.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see/hear about the cruise.
Sounds like a good afternoon. I don't have the day off tomorrow either. It's a storm make-up day. boo!
ReplyDeleteDang $3 is a steal! What's the going rate for tickets these days $10 or so?
ReplyDeleteI've heard mixes reviews about Benjamin Button but the general concensus is TOO LONG. Glad you enjoyed it nonetheless. Nice job on the 5-miler too!
ReplyDeleteI just saw that movie last week. I cried, and didn't notice the length. What makes me angry, though, is that I paid a whole TEN dollars to see the same movie you saw for THREE! What gives?! We don't even have a cheap theatre around here... Boo.
ReplyDeleteYou are going on a cruise?!?!?! How fun. Ya, I don't have tomorrow off either.
ReplyDeleteYou're still running pretty fast for having this whole baby thing going on, it's amazing!
ReplyDeleteHave fun in the cruise!
Great job on the run! I'm jealous of the cruise!
ReplyDeleteNice run. Enjoy the cruise.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good day!
ReplyDeleteWay to kick butt on that 5 miler.
I wish I could find a $3 movie. Sounds like a great deal. Good job on the run. Cruise that sounds awesome!
ReplyDeletethat is my perfect day.
ReplyDeleteif you substitute weights for the running and shopaholic for the buttons :)
(was the movie not depressing? why do I think it would depress me?)
Your last cruise before baby! Live it up, have fun!
ReplyDeleteI'll wait until BB comes out on video.
ReplyDeleteCaffeine addiction
In this article, we are going to discuss the importance of caffeine addiction and the most important facts ictions in the world, just like cocaine and marihuana. Caffeine addiction sometimabout it, as caffeine addiction is something we all must prevent in order for us to be healthy and stay that way for years. We are also going to mention some significant facts about caffeine effects and how caffeine effects may affect our body performance considerably.
Caffeine addiction is one of the most famous types of addes has been considered a lie, but it is a really, because caffeine is a stimulant that becomes addictive within a certain period of time. Interestingly, caffeine addiction shows up when you are not expecting it, and it does not necessarily show up because we want to.
Pure caffeine is, chemically speaking, a plant-based alkaloid that stimulates the central nervous system in any living creature that intakes it. Biologically, caffeine serves as a form of pest control for certain plants like cacao trees, coffee shrubs, yuba mate and tea trees; it causes insects and other pests to fall down from the effects of over-stimulation. So, just like those pests and insects that I mentioned, caffeine also produces stimulation in our central nervous system, which usually makes us feel more energized, invigorating and active.
There is something called caffeine withdrawal, which refers to the sudden denial of us to consume caffeine, and it happens when regular consumers of caffeinated products may experience painful headaches if the body is denied caffeine. These headaches are caused by excess blood gathering in the area around the brain and sinus cavities, so without the stimulation provided by caffeine, the blood vessels shrink, restricting the blood flow. The traditional cure for caffeine withdrawal is to ingest more caffeine, which is not a healthy solution and this is also why many headache medications contain small amounts of caffeine.You can more information for the Caffeine addiction in: http://yourcaffeineaddiction.com/

ReplyDeleteWe keep planning to see that movie, but always get discouraged by the long time. Ha ha! I bet it will end up a rental.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about Presidents' Day--I thought schools got all holidays off. My college closed for anything.
