So, I was all set to run after work. I had it all planned out. I would come home around 6, say hi to my father-in-law, then go out to run. I totally had it all planned out.

But then I beat him home, so the agreed upon plan was to meet at [...]

I thought we were done with the shitty hot weather? Of course it gets all heated up again when it’s time for Jason and I to V02 Max. On the way home I saw a temperature on a bank sign of 87 degrees. Awesome.

The run went fine actually. I think we both started to get [...]

Oh have a cup of coffee at about 9pm.

Then I’m twiddling my thumbs, watching a movie, opening new circuits on Mario Kart….and then it’s 1:30am….still looking at the clock and double checking that yes in fact the alarm is set for 6am.

I am turning in my analysis to the group today and I’m all nervous [...]

22 MILES that’s what!

Yesterday morning Jason and I headed out for the last long training run before the taper starts. Since the Fleet Feet people were going to be out there for a their “Ready to Run” run we decided to go as early as possible so we wouldn’t have to deal with them too [...]

The boy turned in his thesis to his committee.

I don’t know what else to say except that I’m so proud of him! I can’t believe it’s just about done. In one month from today he will defend the thesis in Bloomington. So not quite done yet as he still has to write a defense talk [...]

Yesterday we had another V02 Max workout. I would have to say of the tough workouts V02 Max workouts are my favorites. They are tough, but unlike LT workouts they end. (I hate LT runs)

So on the calendar was 4x1200m @ 5K pace. I did some running math and a 3:30 marathon had us projected [...]

I love this town for several reason, today displaying one of my favorites…

It’s been sticky and hot and stickier and hotter and swealtering and steaming and horrible in Chicago I would say the past month or so. I woke up this morning and my little weather widget came on with a ’48′ degrees outside. WHAT. [...]

Cause she has a warm place to sit……spoiled kitty.

On Sunday Jason and I got through a 17 mile long run.

I wish I had more interesting things to say about the run. We ended up averaging 8:55 min/mile. With about 5 miles to go I got a little cranky, but kept putting one foot in front of the other and the run came to [...]

Well, Friday marked my last day at Fermilab (other than the day I go in to clean out the office and, probably, the nerd Halloween party). To mark the occasion, we did one last run around the accelerator ring. For those of you who aren’t familiar, Fermilab sports the world’s most powerful particle [...]
