If we’re going to assassinate anyone to make the world a better place, why can’t we assassinate Fred Phelps and Pat Robertson? In other news, video footage of the deer running around and then jumping into the pack of runners at the beginning of Freescale is up at news8austin.com (“Watch The Video”). I can’t stop […]
Freescale Half-marathon
Posted in Uncategorized on Feb 19th, 2006
I finished Freescale today! It was OMFG COLD! I couldn’t wear my amber sunglasses because ice kept forming on them and/or they’d fog over. All the bridges and sidewalks were covered in black ice. Sweat would seep through peoples’ fleece and then freeze, leaving them a crunchy frosty coating. I can not believe I spent […]
Fearing the cold
Posted in Uncategorized on Feb 18th, 2006
8 hours, 32 minutes until race start! Weather forecast for tomorrow still holding at 6 AM, 31 degrees with 20% chance of ice pellets; at 8 AM, 34 degrees with 20% change of rain. I hope I don’t get hypothermia and die, that’d really suck. Austin Fit magazine is a horrible publication. The first twelve […]
40 what?

The weather forecast shows a high of 40 on Sunday, with a chance of ice pellets and rain at 6 AM. That’s going to create some freezing ass conditions for the race. If it doesn’t get called off for weather, it’s going to take a lot of discipline to get out there and do it. […]

My Powerbook has faithfully been with me for nearly three years. Today is the final straw. While stepping over it on the way to the kitchen, I snag my toe across the LCD, forcing it back and breaking the hinge assembly out of the LCD. !@#!@$@#! To summarize, here’s the lifeline of my Powerbook: April […]
Lots of running

Atomic tourists
Posted in Uncategorized on Feb 5th, 2006
During random Wikipedia browsing for detenators and nuclear weapon design, I ran across Bureau of Atomic Tourism. There’s groups of people that it’s their thing to visit bomb sites such as Trinity, and the assorted museums devoted to atomic weapons. I clearly need to go out to New Mexico to visit the Trinity site now. […]
Tired
Posted in Uncategorized on Feb 5th, 2006
I’ve been completely exhausted this weekend. I’ve been on-call for two straight weeks with some long days at the office and it’s been slowly wearing me down. I was working Saturday morning (and already tired) and decided to not do my group long run. I wound up waking up at noon, sleeping close to 11 […]
