Feelin’ Like a Proton……or Anti-Proton

Last night we ran at Fermi Lab again since the getting up at 5am has not been happening (big surprise) but we don’t want to try driving home at 5:30 because of rush hour traffic. We wanted to get 6 miles in and although we really like running around the main ring, it’s only 3.8 [...]

Volleyball Back in Season

Monday nights are back! Oh that’s right, 1 grueling hour of physics nerd volleyball happens and yesterday was the first day of the season. Our team is strange, we usually don’t play very well in the regular season….BUT come playoff time we have come close to knocking out one of the top teams out of [...]

Weekend Fun

Our weekend started with a 5 mile run at Fermi Lab on Friday afternoon around 2:30pm. I really wanted to get this run in because if I didn’t I would have had to run really long on Sunday to get in our planned 25 miles for the week. However, the weather in Chicago on Friday [...]

A Trip to Fry’s Electronics

Ok Ok, I admit I am a gadget geek. I love all electronics and am patiently waiting to have a “real” job so that I can have enough money to fully supply my gadgetting needs.

Now then….what are next big purchases on my dance card? The new MacBook Pro (but I want to wait to the [...]

Ring Around The Rosey……

Ring Around The Run…?Run around the Ring….?

***Edit for those of you that don’t read the comments***

By the way…for whoever finds this sort of thing interesting…the ring and Fermilab and the Great Wall of China are about the only two man made constructions that show up from space. — Leah’s DAd

A nice, pleasant – HOLY CRAP

Last night Leah and I went out for a nice, easy 6 mile run. We decided not to take any kind of music or anything and just enjoy the lovely fall evening. The weather was perfect and we were cruising at a healthy clip.

We just chatted about various things and tried to avoid [...]

Now That I Have Had Coffee

I can write a coherent post. I tried this about an hour ago when I got to work and the post was starting to sound like,

I need to run and sleep and eat better.I need to not go out much.I like running.

So then, since that would have been lame….what to say. Well, I need to [...]

Do Not Say Chicago Bears

I don’t want to talk about it.

Wow, I have been MIA for a few days now, so let me get back up to speed.

I have mentioned that I have to start my thesis analysis all over. Yeah. That’s not good. It’s going to take me a little while longer to graduate than I had thought. [...]

Fast & Furious….

Cause there are no Rules this week!!!

This is one of my favorite times to run. Just going out, listening to some music, running fast if i want, slowing down if I want. Whatever. I can run like I’m a kid till my legs are tired and my breathing is heavy and it doesn’t matter.

Yesterday we [...]
