Yesterday afternoon Jason and I got through 12 miles which is our longest run since the Chicago Marathon. We did a 10 mile run a couple of weeks ago, but mostly our distances have been 8,9 7 and so on. I have really been missing running longer miles, but I think my legs are extremly [...]

Yesterday was oh-so-busy, but it was a good kind of busy. What does that mean, exactly? It means that Leah was busy making Christmas cookies! Woot, that’s what I say to that.

To be precise, she was mostly making dough to be baked today (which she’s doing this very moment). So far, [...]

After a long day at work yesterday full of 3.5 hours of meetings and 6 hours of me scratching my head at my code and wondering where in the hell I am going with this. Forward Leah. FORWARD, we headed out for our 8 mile run.

Being not too bright we didn’t do a last minute [...]

The plan was to work out at the Fermilab gym after work yesterday.

Instead answer the following SAT style question:

What is delicious?

a. Beerb. Steak & Shakec. Core Strengtheningd. a&be. None of the Above

If you answered D then you would be correct.

After work we went to a “social” with folks from our experiement where the [...]

Today Leah and I were all set for a brisk 7 mile run over the frozen tundra of Fermilab. Fermilab is famous for two things: well plowed streets and wide open spaces (all the better to build wind with). It was going to be cold and windy, but at least we wouldn’t have to skate [...]

I’m not going to say this is as beautiful as the screen shots I have seen of SportTracks. However, that is not saying that it’s not going to become more beautiful in the future.

As a Macintosh user I bought my Garmin in June with the knowledge that Garmin was going to release the Training Center [...]

Originally when I started thinking about training for Sarasota I thought I would move the schedule in Pfitz back one day so that our long runs would be on Saturdays which would give us Saturday nights free and then Sunday’s free to go watch the Bears. However, this poses two problems :

We play volleyball [...]

How can one love to get out there and run when the temps are in the 20s? Because the idea of doing that is well…..crazy sounding. After a few comments on my last post I thought about why I don’t mind the weather and how I have really come to embrace it over [...]

We spent our morning shopping and gettng some holiday decorations. I am going to get into the holiday spirit if it kills me and if that means raiding the Crate and Barrel Outlet store, so be it.

Then we hit Target and I almost killed…well everyone there. It was so crowded but we got some cute [...]

I absolutly love the first snow of the season, before it gets all dirty and gross and eventually just a pain in the ass. Today we woke up with a couple of inches on the ground, a winter wonderland you might say. To bypass the morning commute in the snow, working from home was [...]
