Today went out with a bang. Started the 5k/10k program, ran 7 miles. It felt good running when it wasn’t below freezing. I got the wild notion to put in a 100 miles today on the bike, so I did it. I followed part of the Shiner BASH route southeast of town. There was a […]

March slipped up on me. I didn’t realize it’s the 3rd already. I turn 27 in 16 days, gah. The Rogue 5K/10K program starts off tomorrow morning with a 7 mile run. Then a week later, we’re supposed to run a 10K race. What a way to jump back into things!

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]
