It was a rainy and windy 50 degree day at Ocean Beach, but I finished the half with an official time of 1:55! Since it wasn't a timing chip race, and it took me a couple of minutes to get to the starting line, I'm comfortable calling it a 1:53 or a 1:54, which I'm happy with ( Read more... )

My sister-in-law knows that I type in the dvorak layout, and from that she inferred that I'd enjoy a Star Trek themed hanukah present. I'm not into Star Trek, but that's a funny deduction to make. We decided that "dvorak" sounds pretty Klingon. And that, well, I'm a giant freakin' nerd and the Landes family doesn't know what to make of me.

hey LJ peeps! I just (12 hours ago) finished my first half marathon in 1:58:18, averaging 9:02 miles. It was a blast, and I'm psyched that I could pull it off in under 2 hours. Dan Monzy and I ran together for the first half, then he continued on in the second half and picked up his pace quite a bit, finishing around 3:45:00. Way to go me! Way to ( Read more... )

So if I were single right now, which I'm not cause of this whole marriage thing, my match.com profile would read, among other things, "recently acquried fungal infection from a dog."

It is awesome that I am not single.
