Yeah, you know, that guy that ran his first marathon last October.  Where is he?  J and I are both mush, mentally and physically right now.  He's burnt out on work and school, and I'm a bit burnt out with life in general.  Today we got together for a run, only deciding on a 5K, and running the thing at a snail's crawl.  Then we made excuses for it ( Read more... )

I just went to what was supposedly a "lecture," but what turned out to be mostly music with a little commentary featuring Patti Smith.  With the Tigers game on (which I almost went to as well and would have for very cheap if Stub Hub hadn't pulled tickets off their site) and Ghostbusters on the big screen nationwide (including here) it's hard to go ( Read more... )

I haven't written in a while.  Sure I've been moonlighting on the running blog, because, despite the fact it may not be all I'm doing in life, it is definitely changing it.  Instead of going out and hanging out late on Fridays, I've spent a lot of them just resting, hydrating, and taking care of myself the night before a race.  I'm  also losing my ( Read more... )

Life right now basically boils down to me not knowing what the hell to do about anything.  The terrible two right now are wedding things.  So let's cover this first ( Read more... )

Poor LiveJournal getting ignored in favor of the running blog.  In all honesty that stuff is starting to rule my life anyway.  I have to be the most dedicated fat runner in a 60 mile radius by far.  Yesterday's run actually had me baffled at my improvement on the short 5K distance, but it shouldn't have, given I just blew away my best 8K time by ( Read more... )

Well, as of now, it's looking like my running blog over there on blogger got wiped out.  There are still remnants of it and I seem to be following it in the dashboard, so I have faith the Google people will figure out what the heck is going on and set it right.  They're kind of big brotherish, so I'm sure they can find anything.  If not, I guess ( Read more... )

Can you see me?

If you feel like reading about my Crim run.

If you want the short version, it's pretty much:  I ran 10 miles in 1:50:25 and I'm fairly happy with myself.

In the meantime, there's a lot of family shit going down right now, none of it good and none of it that I can do all that much about.  I really don't want to get into it ( Read more... )

On Saturday August 28th, I will be running in a 10 mile race in my home city of Flint.  I've been wanting to do this for years, and it's been some pie-in-the sky goal for a long time.  Most of that time, it was only a dream and I've never been even close.  Even at my lowest weight, circa 2004, I was running 2.4 miles every other day, and the goal ( Read more... )

-Had another Garcia's burrito and joined the CPC (Clean Plate Club) there for the second time.  It's tough when the thing is the size of a small infant, but probably more delicious.  I don't know, I don't think that way, and I realize that "A Modest Proposal" is facetious.  Also taunted Jeff into finishing his Chorizo one ( Read more... )
