Outed

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

It was bound to happen eventually.  I was outed at work.  Egads.
Apparently, one of my collegues googled “jon” and “chocolate” and my blog popped up #1.  Go figure.  Apparently there were enough clues on my blog to make it incredibly obvious that she was in the right place.  Clever little bugger.
However, she has been sworn [...]

Its been a busy rest week

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

I spent this past week at cub scout camp with my son. Lots of scoutly fun. I didn’t run at all (did you know there’s no running allowed at scout camp?) but did more walking than you could imagine. I’d say I walked about 5 miles a day. And I really, [...]

Groundhog Day

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

I went out for a long run today. I was out by 9 am but it was hot already, I wish I had been out by 8. I was targeting about 12, no hills just smooth flatness. I was feeling reasonably well but a little hot and I could feel my form [...]

Dead Blog - fire alarm

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

This one had me laughing.  I guess Asha doesn’t get to sleep in very often.  Did you notice it was on a Monday too?  This was the only post and there were no comments.

The Canadians can say whatever they want to.  Not fair.

Back on track

Sunday, July 15th, 2007

The basement is dry again (though I see storm clouds looming as I type) and gutters look like they will cost about $1000.  I suppose that’s cheaper than throwing out everything I own after it gets soaked.  And nobody wants a wet moldy basement.
I got my workout in on Thursday and Today at the Y.  [...]

Splish splash

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

I was going to the gym tonight for a little post-race crosstraining.  But first I decided to check the email.  Since we had a big storm, the power went out earlier and I had to reboot the modem, which is in the basement.  The power systems in the capitol district are horrid and we lose [...]

Ode to an anchovy

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

Oh little anchovy
in the Moroccan sea,
please come to America
and have some pizza with me.
You can bring your cousins
and all the neighbors too,
because I’m having pizza for lunch
and I’d like to have it with you.
I have a place for you to sit
right here upon this slice,
because when I’m having pizza
an anchovy makes it nice.
I will ne’er [...]

Boilermaker 15K

Monday, July 9th, 2007

First let me say the Boilermaker 15K was a fabulous race!  There were 12,000 (?) runners in the 15K, and easily that many spectators lining the roads.  This was one of the biggest races I had ever been in so it was a big deal to me.
Lara was kind enough to let me stay at [...]

Guess where I am!

Sunday, July 8th, 2007

I’m at Lara’s house!  Its very cool.  I can’t be online too long because we’re heading out to the Boilermaker 15K this AM.  Apparently, it will be very hot.  Yea.  I’m hoping for good snacks at the end.  :)
Hope you all are having a good weekend!
