Great Strides 5K
This morning they had a 5K walk to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis research and treatment. FaucetCompany was a local sponsor of the event, so I got to participate без платно (free). Even though it was officially a walk, and … Continue reading

The 5K That Wasn’t
I was supposed to run my second 5K this past Sunday afternoon. Those in charge cancelled the event due to rain and forecast heavy storms at race time. As it turned out, there was nothing but a cold drizzle until … Continue reading

Not Ready
But not horrible. I started out strong, despite lingering hip pain. But I couldn’t keep it up. This time it was more a lack of wind than pain, although both were factors. I want to be under 40:00 on Sunday. … Continue reading

Fuck Windstream
Windstream has bought up most of the small, rural telephone companies, making them the largest rural telephone service provider in the nation. Fortunately for them, few of their customers have any other options. I’ve been stuck with them since I … Continue reading

Full Of Shit
Instead of running this morning, I went to see a doctor. I’ve been having lower abdominal pain since last Friday. It’s a combination of pressure indicating the need for a bowel movement, and aching as if I’d strained or pulled … Continue reading
