I hear it is tough to be in a big law firm and have work-life balance. I understand it will be difficult and I fully expect long hours and hard work. I am not kidding myself. I intend on fulfilling my obligations at work and becoming a successful lawyer, wherever that may be. However, I…

Much Better
The run today felt much better. The muscles near my shins did not tighten (or cramp) and I felt much smoother. I did the Oak Creek route for a total of 48+ minutes of running. The stabilizer ligament above my ankle is a little sore as are my legs in general, so tomorrow I am…
NFL Sunday
The Seahawks had me nervous the entire game today. In the first half, it was looking like a repeat of the dismal performance of two weeks ago, but the Seahawks pulled it together in the 3rd quarter. Just when I thought they were about to wrap it up, a fumble, and the Rams take the…
Tamar Photos
Nothing really interesting went down today aside from laziness, reading, a workout at Arrillaga, and more laziness. The workout at Arrillaga was actually good, working mainly shoulders. I somehow didn’t run today even though I had all day to do it, but I definitely plan on running tomorrow. Well, I guess it’s time to do…
Flyback Update II
It’s been a busy last few days, but I am now finished with my Seattle callback interviews. I visited some great firms and met some great people. I also ate out at some great spots in Seattle, including the Metropolitan Grill twice. Once I had some steaks and the second time I went for the…

Until then, I plan on relaxing some more and getting some reading and homework done. I visited my sister and my niece, Tamar, in…
Seattle
Tomorrow I fly up to Seattle for a week of callback interviews, relaxation, fun, and some law reading. It should be fun to spend some time at home during the fall. It has been 5 years since I have been in Seattle between September and December! It will not be a hectic-free week as I…
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…
