Etc. 30 seconds and 4 minutes. I've been doing 40 seconds (taking into account the treadmill slowly speeding up) and 2:40. To do intervals more than twice a week, I think 4 minutes is too hard. The intensity I'm using is also I think a little too hard. Feel very tired at times. Thinking to reduce to 3 times a week....

Read Dr. Susan Brown's The Acid Alkaline Food Guide. Going to try to eat more alkaline. Claims it gives more energy among too many others things. Must note that it's pointed out that at high altitudes the lack of oxygen has an alkalizing effect. Found this interesting as people at high altitudes do actually live longer. Doesn't seem that it's understood why: http://www.wisegeek.com/does-altitude-affect-life-expectancy.htm The concept of Chromic Low-Grade Metabolic Acidosis could explain it. Maybe it will catch on.

Read The Brief History of the Dead by Kevin Brockmeier. Meh. Kind of boring and just fades off. Much more realistic people. A lot of time spent in people's head as they remember mostly random bits of their lives. It was kind of boring. Idea is after death everyone goes to a kind of purgatory? until there is no one alive who directly remembers them anymore. And on earth a plague is in the process of completely wiping out mankind.

Also I bought a viola. Really like the sound. I guess it will bite into my cello playing but I'm not racing against the clock to become awesome.
