I found my 5K
OK, tonight I plan to fill out my entry form for the 5K Challenge held at the Crossings in Colonie on Sunday, September 28. This is where I work out anyway, so I’ll be used to the layout. Also, the timing is good because I still have plenty of time to get into shape. Free long sleeve t-shirt if I’m one of the first 300 people to enter. I do like free stuff 
(please note, the 6 week program I linked to assumes you can jog for 2 miles non-stop, which of course, I cannot do. The first week may be a bit tough, but I think I’ll catch up)

New Operating System
I’ve been wanting to try out Linux for a long time now. I’m not sure why, just something new to learn I guess. Anyway, we have a laptop at home which is very old and runs very slowly, so I erased windows off the machine and replaced it with xubuntu. So far so good, I’m impressed. It looks good, operates quickly and does everything I need it to do. I can connect to the web wirelessly, use firefox, open zip files, excel files, word files, image files and videos. And lastly, the computer’s 10 gig hard drive now has 7GB free rather than 0GB before.
