Building a Great Exercise Program

I’ve had a number of people ask me about building an exercise program that will work so here are my thoughts, enumerated in five main points: First, get ready to workout. From my experience running Division I NCAA track and cross country, the hardest part of the morning runs we did at 6:30 am was…

Weekend round-up

Nothing particularly notable this weekend. I went to parties both Fri and Sat nights and they didn’t blow me away, but I had fun. Saturday was the law school field day extravaganza and it was fun to watch the second year and third year law students dominate the first year students in football. I ran…

This and that

A long day of classes started at 8 am this morning. Fortunately, they still had the free tea service going and I two-fisted some Numi Jasmine Green Tea that did the waking-up job. A firm graciously provided a fajita buffet lunch that was delicious. Let’s just say I had my fair share. After Trademark class…

Coal Mining

It’s set! Mark and I will be writing our research paper for the Lawyering for Social Change course on litigation associated with the environmental harms of coal mining. The practice of “mountaintop removal” of coal mines in the Appalachian mountains destroys landscapes, obliterates forests, and pollutes streams. The fight to protect the Appalachian Mountains is…

Tamalpais Photos

Not much to report on this “normal” Tuesday. I had a fun interview in the morning and went on a 48 minute run in the evening (Oak Creek run). I felt decent for having run the dish pretty hard yesterday. Tomorrow I plan on lifting at Arrillaga, but I need to start thinking about when…

The Mansion in Marin

Today featured the first day of patents class (it’s on the quarter system). The reading was interesting and it sounds like it will continue to be so. This afternoon I ran the dish as part of 46+ minute run, with 21:30 gate to gate, and then worked the abs and biceps a little at Arrillaga….

Busy Day

Calling today a busy one is an understatement! From the moment I woke up at 7:15 am, today has been action. First, I had a seminar and then lecture straight through from 8 am to 12:15 pm. Then, it was off to interviews, more class from 2:15 to 3:45, and then one more interview. I…

Undergrads arriving!

8 am. The screaming, yelling, and annoyingness begins. The freshman class of undergrads is arriving and that means I get woken up early. It was pretty bad. I thought it would end, but it didn’t so I begrudgingly got up and made breakfast. I couldn’t even concentrate on any reading so I was forced to…

Saturday Exercise

Aside from some reading, surfing the web, and just plain sitting around, I ran the Dish loop and went to Arrillaga gym for a little weights. The weather was idyllic for a dish run and I enjoyed it. The ascent of the hills are getting much easier now that I am running it consistently (physically…

Hangin’ with my sis

Today my sister and her husband came over from Fremont and we had an awesome afternoon. We first took in some sun by walking the Dish loop. The temperature was perfect and the breeze was nice for most of the way (it was a bit blustery on top of the ridge). After the good walk,…
