Treadmill run again, though the weather appears to be turning. I’m hoping to get outside by April.
Ran four miles today in 34:33 on extremely sore legs from last week’s heavy weight work. Pace was 8:38. No iPod — forgot to charge it.

The vice president made what is being described as a surprise visit to Iraq today and proclaimed the war a “successful endeavor.”
“If you reflect back on those five years, it’s been a difficult, challenging but nonetheless successful endeavor,” the vice president said at a news conference in the Green Zone, where he was flanked by Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, the chief U.S. commander in Iraq, and U.S. Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker, the top U.S. civilian official in Baghdad. “We’ve come a long way in five years and it’s been well worth the effort.”
I guess this is what he means by successful.
A bombing on Monday evening killed 43 people near the Imam Hussein shrine in the Shiite holy city of Karbala, penetrating one of the most secure perimeters in Iraq, and Iraqi police officers at the scene and several witnesses said it had been carried out by a female suicide bomber.

Annie’s brother Steven called tonight when Annie was out, so we chatted for a while about the family and what not. Then he told me about a new radio station he came across, one that played the good “classic rock” and mixed in old new wave and punk and a healthy dose of new alternative sounds.
The station sounded a bit like the old WNEW — that commitment to rock music of all stripes. I listened for a while on line tonight and it sounds pretty good. I don’t know if rock radio is making a comeback, but it is worth giving a shot — especially because I’d given up on commercial radio and listen almost exclusively to WXPN and WHYY (NPR).
Here’s the link to the new station: 101.9 RXP — The NY Rock Experience.

Here’s the story on Cranbury’s affordable housing problems — or, more accurately, the township’s legitimate problems with the proposed state regulations — that I mentioned in a post yesterday.

Monroe taxpayers should speak up about the Monroe municipal budget. At a time when everyone in the state is complaining about property taxes, there is something wrong with a 5.9-cent tax hike.
