While I was stretching by the truck after my run, I noticed alot more steam in the air than could be coming from my breathing. I looked in the window reflection and saw that my whole body was steaming. It looked like I was on fire! I did my long run this AM at the [...]

I’m so very sorry for the incredibly rude delay in posting. I had to go out of town and the internet access wasn’t available. Well, actually it was but it cost so damn much I didn’t want to pay. Again, sorry for not updating. I was in Toronto for a week of super special training. [...]

Saturday I did an hour of crosstraining instead of my long run, due to scheduling issues. I ran my 12 mile long run yesterday. Only the second time I’ve run that far. Coming off a week of little running, and having missed the previous week’s long run due to the race, this was a very [...]

Just got off the phone with Garmin and they said the Ghostrunner is being put into a safe containment center for the spiritually misbehaving, and has been replaced. Making some final preparations still (battery charging and programming?), but the new one should be heading my way soon. Psyched! Can’t wait to try out the cool [...]

I dreamt I was running in a marathon. It was through some old part of Europe, where the cobblestone streets were really narrow with houses on each side, like a Charles Dickens story. I was running up some very hilly areas but, very very fast! There was a couple that had gotten married and were [...]

I ran my three miles at the gym today. It looked like rain was coming and I wanted to take my son to a magic show at the library. Did I mention I have vacation this week? I do. Not just blowing off work. My legs were a little tired, and the right shin was [...]

In case anyone can reach this post, here is the problem with the blogger pages here and elsewhere. They’re working on it. Ran 3 miles at the park. I was scheduled for 2.0 but I wanted to try out my latest fix for the GhostRunner. The techs sent me an email asking me to try [...]

It turns itself off and on constantly. Entirely useless now. Ofcourse, it takes a total crap on a holiday weekend so there is no way to get an RMA# from tech support to start shipping it back now. So, I have to wait until Tuesday just to have them tell me to ship it back. [...]

Lara mentioned the electronics freaking her out. Whether she is kidding or not, there is more to this…(insert lightning and spooky music). We’ve only lived in our current house for one year. The other house was in the city. An all brick Cape Cod built in 1947. The first year we lived there, really, really [...]
