Phishing Scams

It seems like some credit card companies do not want to know about phishing scams targeting their customers. I tried to let Discover Card know about a scam running at discovercard-service.com (which is NOT a legitimate site; it is run by fraudsters) but they did not seem to want to talk to me if I was not a customer of theirs. And I could not easily find any place on the real Discover Card site to make a report. Frustrating.

Peanut Butter Recall -- Zone Bars

I learned today that ZonePerfect bars--Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor--are subject to voluntary recall. All lots have been tested and no salmonella has been found in any of them, but is it worth the risk? And wouldn't you know that I just got a couple of dozen of them from Costco this past weekend?

Now I am curious: is it safe to dispose of them in the compost bin?

Track Work - 800s and 200s

I went all by myself to the track this morning for a solo 6:00am running workout. It was a combination of runs of 800 meters and 200 meters suggested by Pat. Following is the combination of runs and rests:

Run	Recovery
800m	2 minutes
800m	2 minutes
200m	200m jog
200m	200m jog
800m	2 minutes
800m	2 minutes
200m	200m jog
200m	200m jog
800m	200m jog
200m	DONE

The workout was interesting, and my legs were a little heavy for most of the day after this, my second track-work day since the cancelled marathon.

I want to do this, but I feel I would first have to set all of my affairs in order...
