I ran a 5k this week, the 22nd Annual Lafayette Oatmeal Festival 5K. It’s a local race that I want to support, the start being about a mile from our house. 21:25 chip time which is 3 seconds faster than my turkey trot time from November. Considering the holidays and vacation I guess I’m ok […]
So I recently removed myself from most social media. Well, Facebook and Instagram. I haven’t missed them at all. I can still see Juiskie’s Insta and every now and again she’ll show me something on Facebook from the family, but otherwise those platforms are just a sink hole. But what I have done is opened […]
Another little workout today, 6x643m, each in around 2:35-ish. If that seems an odd distance, it is. So I had the idea to do 800 repeats today, and figured I’d hop over to Waneka Lake where there are mile markers. The trail around the lake is 1.2 miles, and well, I thought there were 1/4 […]

There was no reason for running a Turkey Trot, other than it was free and I could ride my bike to the race. We moved last year to a new house in a new town just outside of Boulder, and well, the Turkey Trot was only a couple miles away from us, so I rode […]
So I wrote a WordPress plugin to display photos from a public album on Google Photos. You can also get it on Github. You can see the result below, or over there –>, on the right sidebar, near the bottom. That’s all it does, it goes and gets the latest photos from an album in […]
So let’s recap: Men’s national team failed to qualify the 2018 World Cup. The U23 Men’s team has failed to qualify for the last two Olympics. Columbus Crew is possibly moving to Austin/holding Columbus hostage for a new stadium. NASL is suing USSF for denying the NASL Division 2 sanctioning. Youth clubs are suing USSF […]
