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 […]
