I had to get out and get a run in tonight. Still lots of snow and ice on the ground - makes it fun.

I got out tonight for a run before the -10 degree temps come tomorrow. 10K in 47:55 is my fastest time ever - a little under 8 minutes a mile. It felt good, but my right calf was really tight. I just haven’t given my legs enough time to rest this week.

I’m trying to figure out what the benefits would be of Microsoft buying Yahoo! I think they’re just trying to do something to keep up with Google. In Steve Ballmer’s letter to the Yahoo! Board of Directors, there’s a line that says,

“Today, the market is increasingly dominated by one player who is consolidating its dominance through acquisition. Together, Microsoft and Yahoo! can offer a credible alternative for consumers, advertisers, and publishers.”

It’s like… “Oh yeah Google, watch this. We can buy a big company with lots of money and look cool too.”

Anyway. I don’t think a deal like this would make any difference in my life.
