So, when did Google get so paranoid??

Jon | January 31, 2009

While searching sites today on Google, I discovered that it is listing almost every site as dangerous, saying “This site may harm your computer.”  When you click on it, Google sends you to a security page and REFUSES to link you there.  If you want to go to that site, then you have to cut [...]

The I-Hate-Winter post

Jon | January 28, 2009

I hate winter.  Hate.Winter. Hate it.  Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate winter.
If you were winter?  I would hate you too.
Am I clear on this?  I hate winter.
I used to like winter.  I liked the snow and even the ice.  I liked running in the cold.
But now I hate it.  Its so damn cold ALL THE [...]

I passed!

Jon | January 21, 2009

Passed the stress test.  More details later, but the doc said he didn’t see any abnormalities in the results.
Two things:
1. Running up a 16% grade is hard to do.
2. I have shaved spots on my chest now.

Stress

Jon | January 20, 2009

Today I have stress test.  3:00 pm.  Wear comfortable clothes and sneakers.  Bring water.
I’m not nervous.
At all.
Really.

Brave the Blizzard Snowshoe Race

Jon | January 18, 2009

I ran in my first snowshow race today.  We had marvelously balmy temps (20F), which was such a welcome change from the single digits we’ve been seeing for weeks.  We also got about 4 inches of fresh snow last night.
I used my Dad’s polycarbonate snowshoes, which are a bit heavier than most modern ones, but [...]

That’s two things broken

Jon | January 15, 2009

First it was my back.
This morning it was the head gasket on the car.
Still waiting for major breakdown #3.
Let us all hope its not the plumbing.  I hate doing plumbing.
I ran 3 miles last night and my back felt pretty good.  I was looking forward to a good day at work and maybe a quick [...]

Home

Jon | January 12, 2009

I called in sick to work today.  I can’t stand up straight and can hardly walk.  I took some ibuprofin and I’m going to try a hot shower.
My stomach feels funny.  Like I drank alot of water and its gurgling.  Weird.

A beautiful day for a run!

Jon | January 11, 2009

We got about 8 inches of fluffy snow last night and today its bright an sunny outside.  Air temp is about 25F (not sure what that is in C, but its probably around -2C).
Ofcourse, I’m not going running.
I can’t go run because I can’t walk.  Or stand.  Lying down is not so good either.
I was [...]

If you are reading this

Jon | January 10, 2009

it means that I have not destroyed my blog too much.  I am trying to redo the template because the old one was always chopped off.  I love the 3-column format but the old one I used was unmanageable.  Wordpress had a nice one that I think will fit the color scheme.
Now all I need [...]

hi

Jon | January 5, 2009

I don’t get it.  Everyone says you can get high from this stuff.
I ate the whole can and I don’t feel a thing.
Urp.
