I survived Thanksgiving. Lots of traffic, the CB saved me at least three very lengthly stalls due to wrecks. Went to Oklahoma to visit the family, went to Tulsa to see the few friends I have left there. Got to see my cousins, some who I haven’t seen in years. I bought my parents a […]

Race photographs are online. While I was up in Pflugerville tonight, I went over to Ikea. Lots of yummy affordable furniture. They made it exceedingly easy and pleasurable to buy a chair. Found the one I wanted (“Poang”), picked off the shelf, carried it to the self-checkout counter, assisted by a tall, slender, rather attractive […]

Back in Austin. I had a hell of a time sleeping last night, I kept waking up wondering just how cold it would be and how I was going to deal with it. It was cold this morning, but not nearly the bitter freeze that we encountered at Freescale. I’m pleased with my clothing selection, […]

In a hotel room in Tulsa just outside downtown. I swear this isn’t a by-the-hour place (it’s a Holiday Inn Express), but there’s a jacuzzi in the room next to the bed. That seems like weird placement. Overall a pretty shitty place for the money; a glorified Motel 6. Should’ve opted for La Quinta. I […]

I didn’t plan my days off for Oklahoma very well. Hopefully I leave Thursday for Tulsa, and come back on Sunday after the run. This means that I’m going right back next Wednesday for Thanksgiving. Had I thought about it, I would’ve taken the whole week of Thanksgiving off. I bought one of them thar […]

A small geocaching trip today turned into a 9 mile hike along the Greenbelt. I got it in my head to find a trail that I could use to cut across the Greenbelt to be able to walk/run to work. The cache today was in the vicinity of a trail that followed a transmission line […]

I put in 10 miles at Town Lake today. I wasn’t in shape to run my normal 10/1 or 5/1 splits, I wound up doing 5/3 or so. I did this in 2:14, compared to 2:10 during a training run on 11/25 last year. Today was also after only eating a bagel for lunch, no […]

This weekend I read iWoz by Steve Wozniak and Ed Viesturs’ No Shortcuts to the Top. I was disappointed by iWoz. It felt like it was written for a very low reading level, like it was targeted to middle-school kids. While I have to give Woz credit for all the work he did, the book […]
