fat man running

Jon | November 29, 2009

I got out for 5 miles yesterday and it was truly a struggle.  I couldn’t believe how hard it was to run.  I was huffing and puffing from the first tenth of a mile.  My legs felt like lead and my belly jiggled the whole way.  Isn’t that gross?  I could actually feel the whole [...]

urp

Jon | November 27, 2009

Egads.  I ate way too much (as usual) at Thanksgiving dinner.  And I just realized this morning that I never even got any mashed potatoes.  Too many people at the table and too many dishes flying.
I didn’t have a chance to make truffles for dessert and my sister was more than a little disappointed.  I [...]

carbs and protein

Jon | November 23, 2009

You know how “they” say we should eat a little protein with our pasta, to help us absorb the carbs better?  Well, should that apply to our everyday breakfast too?
Think about it.  For those of us who have cereal or some such carbo-licious breakfast, we want that breakfast put to good use so that we [...]

hey guys

Jon | November 22, 2009

Did you ever notice that about 95% of the videos that people make of themselves and put on the web, all start out with the phrase “Hey guys”?

we are not alone

Jon | November 22, 2009

On Wednesday I had a run at the park with my running partner (RP).  This park is a state park and is off in the hills in a very rural area.  Lots of woods, few houses.  There’s a good size lake and nice facilities in the summer.  Its technically closed in the winter time, meaning [...]

E. Guittard Chocolate

Jon | November 20, 2009

Hey look!  A post about chocolate.   :)
This is the first time I have ever had E. Guittard chocolate before.  I had read about it on another blog, but have never seen it in stores until now.  While I was at the Cape this summer, I came across it in Stop ‘N Shop, of all places, [...]

9 miles

Jon | November 15, 2009

I ran 9 miles today at the park with my running buddy.  I don’t know why 55F feels chilly, but it did.  I guess I haven’t got my winter blood running yet.
My foot is doing lovely.  No pain during runs.  Its a little achey in the morning still and a bit after the run once [...]

on the verge

Jon | November 10, 2009

Did you ever have a word on the tip of your tongue, but just can’t get your brain to send it to your mouth?  You know that feeling, where you know the information is all there, but you just can’t get it to come out right?
I get that now and then, but now with just [...]

in with the new(er)

Jon | November 1, 2009

The truck is dead.
The transfer case is making horrible smashing sounds.  The shop says $1500.  Add that to broken A/C (another $1500), and you have the recipe for death of the vehicle.  If it didn’t have 225,000 miles on it, I would say the repairs would be worth it.  But, just my luck, it would [...]
