Ugh

Jon | September 30, 2004

I spent today out of the plant. We had to do some fancy technical engineering stuff at another company. When we have to drive more than 100 miles round trip, we have to get a rental vehicle. I rented a Dodge Dakota. They suck. Cheap as cheap can get. [...]

Sunrise

I took this pic with the spycam on the way to work yesterday. Click to enlarge.

Wow, that sucked

Jon | September 29, 2004

I ran 3.0 miles, which is actually according to the schedule but it really sucked. My legs were so sore. Lots of pain and aches. Major dead legs. Pain that didn’t feel like sore muscles. It felt like my bones hurt. It was awful. I ran it slow, [...]

Ok, I am indeed a sloth

Jon | September 29, 2004

I didn’t run.
I wanted to, but my son’s cub scout fishing trip got cancelled and we had to put together a hasty pack meeting for the night. My wife is the Cubmaster. Last night she was handing out special awards for people that assisted the pack this year. I got [...]

Thanks for comments from everyone on yesterday’s post.
There’s an article this month in Design News about the new Adidas 1. Its got a sensor and a motor in it to adjust in real time the cushioning depending on where or how you are running. It will retail for about $250 [...]

Some stats

Jon | September 27, 2004

I was just looking at the stats in my log and discovered:
1) This past week was my highest mileage week ever. Its only 17 miles total. What has happened in the past is that when the mileage begins to build, I would get injured and end up cutting out the mid week runs, [...]

8 more miles

Jon | September 26, 2004

I did my 8 miles this AM at the park. I got there later than I had planned, around 9:30 and the place was already filling up with runners, walkers, bikers, dog people, and the disc golf folks. Everyone was trying to get in the last few nice days left. Been getting [...]

Cross and cross again

Jon | September 25, 2004

Forgot to post what I did Thursday. 1 hour of crosstraining. Guess what I did today. 1 hour of crosstraining. Bike, stepmill, stepper. This is getting really, really dull. The only fun part was seeing VH1 pick the new Lori Partridge. Lori was like Marsha Brady, but more [...]

A mystery…

Jon | September 24, 2004

You are visiting the private museum of Dr. Rudolf J. Muffinschmidt. Over the years he has amassed a giant eclectic collection of oddities and rarities from around the world. Some are extremely rare, some extremely valuable and some are just plain strange.
“Right this way.” he says with great anticipation his voice, leading you [...]

Flashback

Jon | September 23, 2004

My first half marathon was last March. I was thinking last last about where I was during that training…er…at this time…then. You know what I mean. Anyway, digging through the posts I found this one which was technically a few days before where I am today but sums up very nicely my [...]
