Knob

This is my blog. A knob log. Knob blog has been around since 2006. It used to be mostly about running, then it was dead, then some lame technobabble stuff, and now we’ll see where it goes.

Start at the beginning with the first post, about God and this blog, or read the latest posts below.

49th Birthday Solo 5K Time Trial September 27, 2020 - Race Information Name: 49th Birthday Solo 5K Time Trial Date: September 25, 2020 Distance: 5km Location: Lafayette, CO Strava: https://www.strava.com/activities/4110537270 Time: 20:53/7 Goals Goal Description Completed?

Video Episode 5: Short Running Update September 2, 2020 - Just a short status update on my running quest. Still running, added some track workouts and fast-finish long runs. Goal of a sub-20 minute 5k at 50 years old is still there, just taking it slow. I’ve been averaging about 30-35 miles per week, running six days and taking every Friday off, while lowering mileage […]
Video Episode 4: Running, Hiking, Fishing, and Tendonitis in Telluride July 7, 2020 - These blog posts and vlog episodes feel like they’re becoming rote and routine, and I’m already tired of producing them every week. Yet I keep telling myself, and others, “discipline over motivation”. But there’s also the notions of sunk cost and opportunity cost. Just because I’ve sunk time in the first month of the project […]
Video Episode 3: Week in the Life of an Ordinary Runner June 28, 2020 - This week’s video installment of my quest to run a sub 20 minute 5k at 50 is just a chronicle of my training week. Shot along the Coal Creek Trail in Lafayette, Colorado, there’s some beautiful sunsets and mountain vistas. Honestly, putting all of my creative effort into these videos hasn’t left much left for […]
Video Log 2: Training to Run a Sub 20 Minute 5K at 50 Years Old June 21, 2020 - I dropped another video today about my training plan to run a sub-20 minute 5K. Maybe I’ll blog at some point about the whole video creation process. The amount of effort required (at least for me) to produce a ten minute video is prodigious. Today’s video included fifteen videos, a dozen photos, three audio tracks, […]
My Quest to Run a 20 Minute 5K at 50 Years Old June 14, 2020 - After last week’s entry I knew I couldn’t keep writing rote recitations every week. And as I’ve gotten back into running I’ve been watching various running YouTube channels like Sage Running, Seth James DeMoor, and MileSplit. I watch them for motivation, entertainment, and arm-chair quaraterbacking if I’m honest. So I thought, since I’m excited about […]
Return of the Lifeless Training Log June 7, 2020 - I used to blog regularly about my running. When my enthusiasm and passion for running waned, my blogging died with it. Maybe they died in concert, me just losing passion for the hobby. Back then I was continually improving, getting faster, increasing mileage, running new workouts, finding new insights, setting new personal records. Although, looking […]
Why I Quit Running June 2, 2020 - I was talking to my friend Pat the other day about why I stopped running seriously almost a decade ago. I told him, “the moment I crossed the finish line of my last marathon (the 2011 Houston Marathon), I knew I was done. People didn’t believe me when I told them afterwards, but in my […]
The Beauty of Explosions in the Sky and The World Is Not A Cold Dead Place March 28, 2020 - Everyone has their preferences, and I’m not here to change yours, or even to argue for mine. I’m no expert, or even particularly insightful, and I’ve even claimed not to listen to music because it can be too manipulative. But being a critic is easy, and creating beauty is hard, so when we find it […]
Migrating a Laravel application to Symfony April 15, 2019 - When I started at the day job about 6.5 years ago, I inherited a jumble of custom PHP/MySql web applications. One of my first goals, after migrating a Drupal 6 site to Drupal 7 (ugh!), was migrating the custom PHP applications to a coherent and supported framework. I evaluated a few smaller frameworks (Slim, F3), […]
