A Passion for Running

Hey folks! I am still around and I am planning on posting my “get fit” plan shortly.

Where’ve I been? I’ve been working on something really exciting. Something I can’t share quite yet but, suffice to say, it’s been keeping me really busy.

In other news, I am the proud owner of my third iMac. iMac #1 was an original bondi blue beauty like this one:

iMac #2 got rave reviews (even got a five star rating from PC World Magazine) and we loved it.

iMac #3 is the newer model of the one you see above. It’s Intel powered, has a built in photo/video camera, a remote control for controlling music, video and photo applications, and is more powerful than the last one – even though I found that one to be perfect in the horsepower department.

iMac #2 is still working fine and dandy so why did we buy another one? Well, in a word, because I was having a hard time sharing her and the daugher and wife needed something too. Funny huh? Most families fight over the TV. We battle over the computer.

RunnerSusan calls hers “Precious” and I think that’s quite suitable for me too since I’m very Gollum-like around it. Hey, we have the same hair!

Another Mark has fallen victim to the pink running skirt! Mark is also doing this for charity (or so he says). Great job Mark!

With all the new bloggers out there, I thought I might introduce you to some of them. Today’s victim is Maine-ly Megin. Megin is currently training for a triathlon (rock on!) and you should see the pasta salad she’s got on there today. Yum.

Welcome to the RBF Megin!

The shoe of choice for pose method runners is the minimalist puma h-street. Unfortunately, it’s being discontinued and there is only one color left at the Puma store.

So, it was off to ebay I went where I bought this cool silver and black pair for almost half the price of a new pair ($44 + $13 for shipping to Canada)!

I’m bidding on this pair too:

My first pair lasted me about 16 months (the upper part finally tore) so I should be good for at least a couple of years.
