4 miles

Jon | August 31, 2006

I got 4 miles in last night.  The temps have dropped very nicely here so the run was pretty decent.  I was feeling pretty good about it too because I wasn’t dying like I normally am.  Just under a 9:00 pace which I think was where I often was training at, so maybe some of [...]

UPDATE!

Jon | August 30, 2006

Geez.
OK, very quickly.  I moved the last of our crap into the house on Sunday.  All 15,000 pounds of it.  I’m not kidding.  The total was 20,000 and we hired some mover guys to move the big stuff but the rest my wife and I did.  My mom helped near the end when we couldn’t [...]

Quiet Company

Jon | August 25, 2006

I bought Quiet Company’s album this week.   Leah talks them up pretty big on her blog because Taylor (the lead) is her husband.  I always saw the pics from his concerts and thought it was hard rock music for some reason.  Then Leah made a post where she was dancing (and you know I love [...]

0.37 miles

Jon | August 25, 2006

Jank wrote about running with his son the other day and I thought that was a pretty cool idea. My son rides his bike while I run occessionally but I thought maybe a run might burn up some of the excess energy he has. So we went out for my 3 mile run, [...]

Its done.

Yesterday we bought the house. I think when I bought the other houses I was very happy after closing. This time? Not so much. Dealing with a rotten seller really soured my feelings about the whole deal. I don’t have time to write about the entire saga right now (and maybe [...]

I can only imagine.

First, go here and read it.  Then go see the cool video at the end.  I just linked there through Jack.  Its just amazing.  I watch that guy and feel inspired but at the same time totally humbled for whining about running, being annoyed with my kid for acting up at the table, and fretting [...]

If you search Google for this, I’m first. Yea.

An athlete’s heart?

Jon | August 19, 2006

I had an EKG test done at the doctor’s office during my physical. Here’s what she said.

Accompanied by the offending reading. If you look at the set of peaks on the right, see that sharp tall one? It should come down to baseline before starting up again for the lower rounder peak.  [...]

Chocolate in the news

Jon | August 18, 2006

A quickie…
I suppose there are worse things that can happen at work than this.  The man was trapped waist deep in chocolate.  Picture it, the guy comes home, soaked to the waist in chocolate. Wife having a bad day. Turns to see him. I’m thinking he probably had a fun time, if [...]
