Life in MD

The weather here is great compare to FL!!! I found a running club that meets every week to do a long run from anywhere b/w 7-20mi. I'm being pushed there b/c i'm in a small group that runs at my speed and if i lose them i'll get lost after 8mi. There are hills everywhere and my quad burns everyday b/c of those darn hills!! I'm doing a XC series where they host XC meets at different HS courses. My first one was last Friday and it was HARD, the grass was thick and the hills were long and steep. Sad news after my long run on saturday... i pulled my back and i'm in a lot of pain, but it has gotten better since :) I found a chiropractor, that i'll be going this monday!!

For thoses who want to keep reading i'll write about my work so far at APL. For those who don't know right now i'm studying meteorites in the upper atmosphere (~95km) and my supervisor wanted me to make a comparison with other data from my professor at school. Well b4 i wanted to do that i asked him to tell me exactly how the Radar works. After I found out how they retrieve and compute the meteorites velocities, i was very disappointed and now i'm going through their code and fixing how they are computing these velocity winds. Before i did this i was looking at high velocity winds and now after fixing their code, these winds disappear, which is good and bad. Bad b/c now i don't have any reason to compare high velocity data, and good since their program is almost fixed.
