Not much to update.

Monday, May 5th, 2008

I ran a bit this week. I know I ran 3 miles one of the days during the week, but can’t remember which one. And Saturday I ran for an hour. Then Sunday I did cardio for an hour.
I found that the TV shows at the gym suck. One [...]

Dear stupid runner

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Dear stupid guy who was running on Kingsley Road last night,
I know you wanted to get a run in during the evening like I do (lately). That town is very small and makes a relatively safe place to run, however, there are some points you need to be aware of so that I don’t [...]

I’m not so mature

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

I ran this morning. We had nice weather for the first time since last August, so I went running while the family slept. It was hot and humid, which is a really strange feeling for April and even stranger since it hasn’t been hot and humid since, well, last August.
I ran [...]

long weekend

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Not that I had more days than usual, but this was a long weekend. I spent Saturday at The College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering. They had a Community Day event where people could go and see what they did there. One of the big parts of the day was the tour of [...]

old man running

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Inspired by your comments (particularly about bald, fat guys being sexy), I went running tonight. Three miles, nothing spectacular. It was a grueling job. And my lungs burned from the cold, which is kinda new for me especially at these temperatures. I’m sure tomorrow I will be punished appropriately.
Mark put a [...]

Dear stupid moron driver

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

To the idiot woman driving a black SUV on Scotchbush Road today, you are a flaming moron.  I don’t know if you were born that way, were dropped on your pointy head as a child, are brain damaged from drinking antifreeze or just never got out of 4th grade, but you have no business being [...]

Another bad haircut

Monday, January 14th, 2008

I had such high hopes for a good hair cut today.  This woman seemed better than the others.  She seemed a little older so I thought maybe she had been doing this for a while.  Nope.  After the first cut I could tell she was new.  Slow and careful each cut told me she didn’t [...]

Ugh

Friday, January 4th, 2008

Yes, I am still alive.  Fat, but alive.  I actually did go running twice during the holidays.  I did ok but it wasn’t very pretty.  4 miles each, and they shouldn’t have felt like they did, but that’s my punishment for neglecting it.
I haven’t wanted to run at night when I come home because its [...]

End of the line

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

I think I’ve reached the end of useful life for my Adidas Adizero’s.  As I put them on tonight for the last run before the race, I notice they felt lumpy.  Like my socks were a little thicker in the middle.  After about half a mile, they seemed to “smooth” out.  When I got home [...]
