Texas just lost. Need to update this web-based logging journal (what do the kids call it?), so will be quick and lame. Ran 9.25 miles this morning with Pat and Andre. Longest “long” run I’ve done since 3M Half back in January. I think the time was around 1:15, but not sure. Started at Robert […]
So what did I do Sunday? I can’t even remember. Maybe I rode my bike. Yeah, that’s probably it. All the workouts just sort of blend into one now. I think that was the ride where some tiny dude passed me then started giving me hand signs like he was doing the hand dance from […]
Somehow we “won” the Corporate Division at last night’s Fila Relays. So what if we were placed in the wrong division, and who cares if it was 2.44 miles and not 2.5, we’ll take the win, and we ain’t giving it back. Everyone ran great: Andre kicked ass to lead off, Pat and John both […]
Fartlek is my favorite workout, I didn’t want to miss it for some measly 2.5 mile race, but I guess class starts at 5:45am, not 6:00am. “Why are you always late?” Gilbert asked. Everyone but Gilbert and his fast group Gazelles were already gone when I walked up. He told me to cut across to […]

There’s a lady at work that pronounces the acronym “MFCU” as “muh-foo-koo”. “Well, the muh-foo-koo policies say blah and we at muh-foo-koo aren’t too keen on non-muh-foo-koo personnel seeing those documents ….” Grrrr…. I ran with Jessica’s iPod yesterday. All hail Morrissey and his funtime, runtime beats! Today I ran mile repeats at Austin High. […]
Missed the long run yesterday morning. It was Jessica’s turn to partake, so I slept in (yay!) and went for a bike ride later in the morning. About the bike … I almost never get passed when riding, but yesterday I was doing about 27mph on Southwest Parkway and this dude flew by me like […]
You ever get out there on the track or the trail, and in the middle of a workout think to yourself, “what in the world am I doing? I mean really, who do I think I am? This is waaaay too much work just so I can finish 247th in the Not Your Ordinary 10K? […]
