So, more about my recent marathon… lots more.
Erin and I drove up the night before to stay at a motel. Picked up my chip and race number (512) and breezed through the pre-race exhibits. We had Indian food; I ate a ton of naan and rice. No booze; lots of water instead (though probably not [...]
Attention multinational corporations: when your chief ethics officer has to take the fifth when asked to testify about boardroom malfeasance at your company, it might be time to look for a new ethics officer.
In other ethical news, an Illinois law passed last year or so requires that employees have to perform periodic ethics training. Dave [...]
I finished. Chip time was 3:59:23, or 9:09/mi.
My goal was 3:45 (8:35/mi). I kept that pace until 18 miles; after that point my right leg got really tight, and I fell off quite a bit. I ran the last 8 miles as intervals, walking for a bit every half mile or so. I did [...]
Tried to run Tuesday 9/19 but still not feeling well; hacking up a bunch of goo. Same Thursday 9/21.
Ran 4 miles Fri 9/22 with Madelyn in the stroller. 31:30. Good.
The race is tomorrow.
My previous Week 17 post was actually all Week 16 runs.
Anyway, no runs this week; I was sick and decided to take it easy. It is the taper period…
Like a lot of humanities departments in comprehensive universities, we here in WIU’s English & Journalism aren’t wallowing in technology. In fact, quite a few of our faculty use computers which are aging rapidly. So every little bit of new technology helps.
I write this because I recently sent a wheezing old Pentium II to UCSS [...]
NFB v Target is going forward; Target’s motion to dismiss was denied.
As Joe Clark points out, this does not mean the battle is over, by any means. And it’s more than a bit premature for the DRA to make rather broad pronouncements (link is PDF) about legal precedents. The case simply isn’t far enough along [...]
Um, I think it’s week 17…. traveling so I’m away from my schedule. Why didn’t I upload that? Tapering begins this week. And I still haven’t registered. I have to do that when I get back home….
Tue 9/5: speed work with Doug: 8 x 800 @ 3:25 per set, which was tougher than I thought [...]
Cross-training today: playing football for 90 minutes or so, two-on-two with a fifth man rotating in and out. So lots of running. For the record, I am the Worst Quarterback Ever. Injury report is thin: only a few scrapes, bumps, and bruises. Nothing major. Oh boy, was it glorious.
My feet have definitely gotten wider [...]
It’s been a while since an omnibus post (or really since any kind of regular post except tracking my running). So what’s up?
House-wise, nothing is up; it’s all down. We just got our floors refinished by Dan Ayer–and they look fantastic–so everything is in the basement, including me. Lots of stuff is in boxes. It’s [...]
