Money spent…

Tonight we had another session of our training. Was a good session and by good I mean we got WORKED OVER. Lindsay and I have never really run intervals before. For htose that haven’t felt the pain.  Intervals (typically) are those exercises where you run a certain distance in a certain time and then have the same time to rest. Repeat way too many times….

The intervals in this case was two laps of 160m track in 70-75 seconds. Which I have no idea if that’s ‘good’ or not. Let me tell you though… it’s hard. Especially number 3, 4, 5 & 6.

Besides that I have a little rant.  My rant is how much the American Presidency Race (or whatever this candidate race is called) is costing… If we go to the CNN Election Center page we can see that Hillary Clinton has spent $80 MILLION and Obama has spent $85 MILLION! I also love the part when you break down the people who dropped out of the race.

• Edwards -> $36 Million
• Richardson -> $13 Million
• Dodd ->$10 Million
• Biden -> $10 Million
• Kucinich-> $3.5 Million

Did those last 4 really think they had a chance to be president? Seriously, did they?  Were they really that sure that they’d risk $3.5 million+ dollars on this? What a waste of money. And yes, I do understand the importance of this job.  However, maybe their should be some sort of cap on spending for a campaign.

Either way that’s $237.5 Million dollars worth of campaigning, SO FAR! And, I’m glad we’ll have to go through a similar situation when the democrats and republicans face each other. All I know for sure is that that money could feed one or two people….

End of rant.
