back in the swing

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

I spent last weekend at an anniversary party for my folks.  It was out near Buffalo so it took the whole weekend.  I got up Saturday and ran a quick 12 miles, came home, showered and jumped in the car for a 5 hour drive.  Saturday night was the party and I ate lots of [...]

Terrorists hit New Haven!

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

To those heading to New Haven next week, please watch your step.
Apparently, some runners in New Haven have been arrested for causing a terror scare.  I guess they were marking a crazy running path through the city as part of a running group.  They used flour.  People saw it and thought it was some kind [...]

Fall is coming early

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

I stepped outside this morning and wanted to run back in and get my hat and gloves.  Brrrrrr!  Who stole my global warming?
I shouldn’t complain though because it made for a nice refreshing run.  I think if it was 80F I’d have been miserable.  With the wind and cold and clouds, I was well cooled [...]

The Idiots

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

Dear Idiots,
I know you like riding your dirt bike on the bike path.  I know you think its cool because your parents aren’t around to tell your teenage asses to get the heck home.  I know you like sucking each other’s faces until your ears are pulled inward, when you are not riding the dirt [...]

A stitch in time

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

I was just getting out of my truck to go run last night when my phone (in the truck) rang.  It was my wife calling to say my Dad had fallen and they needed help getting him back on his feet.  I drove to the folk’s house (a mile or two away) and found out [...]

Cool morning

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

This morning is was beautifully cool.  I think it was about 55F when I left the house to go run.  The start of the run was over cast and very nice.  I got sun later but I brought my hat so I was good to go.
I picked up a new running route from Map My [...]

Von Deutschland

Friday, August 10th, 2007

I received a long awaiting package in the mail yesterday from far across the sea.  Thanks, Jack!  :)
I tried a couple last night, being very mindful of not overdoing it as this is the first chocolate I’ve had in a month.  The first one was the Alpia Alpenmilch, which is a milk chocolate made by [...]

Cooling down

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

We had cooler weather today, but more importantly, the humidity was gone.  I know its only temporary, but its nice to have break.  I did 4 tonight and 7 on Wednesday (humid!).  My left calf is sore before the run and my right calf gets sore late in the run.  Its crazy.  It was nice [...]

they’re watching me

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Quickly.
I went to pull in the driveway tonight (my wife was out) and a minivan was parked right in front of the house. Lights on, car running, driver in the front seat. They were very far from the neighbors’ houses and driveways and the people across the street are on vacation so it [...]
