Just a few things from my day…

Instead of doing a road run this morning, I did a 16-mile, trail run.  Details: Home (152′) -to- Boccardo Peak (1906′) -to- Alum Rock Park floor (523′) -to- South Rim Trail summit (790′) -to- Home (152′). BOOM!  I shot this video up at at Boccardo Peak with my GoPro2:

I need to use my GoPro2 a more…

Took this pano with my iPhone:

Today was my wife’s birthday and she decided to get Psycho Donuts instead of a cake. I went with the S’Mores!

An “On Your Left” Alternative?

I’m tempted to do this the next time people are running 2, 3, even 4 across…when they shouldn’t.

My take on what he says is, “MAKE WAY FOR THE QUEEN’S CASTLE GUARD!”  I guess I would say, “MAKE WAY FOR KAREN’S HUSBAND!”

I’ve been toying with the thought of changing my blog design for a while…actually, quite a while…like since March 2012.

Anyway, the plan is to “go live” in the near, near future with a new theme, header, blog name, etc.

Nothing drastic – just different, sort of.

BOLO…

While I was in a meeting today, I found myself wondering if the other people had the same “this guy’s just droning on and on” thought.

The kicker: I was the guy talking.

It’s been a month since my father-in-law passed away. This morning, my wife and I were taking about his passing and the hurt, sadness, and gap we feel. She asked when the hurting stops and how I got through things when my parents died.

I shared that I still hurt – probably always will – but that this new phase is kind of the “new normal” in our lives. Things are different, we hurt terribly, but we press on – cherishing the great memories. We are so thankful for that wonderful, final night we had with him and need to realize that we really won’t get any answers to the questions that linger in our minds.

Still, this new normal sucks.

  • Comments: Since I took a couple of rest days during the week, I did 4.8 @ 8:14 this morning…and I just needed to run.

It’s been a tough Christmas this year with my father-in-law passing away at the beginning of the month. Not too much celebrating going on, but sometimes all it takes is a batch (or two) of tradition to make things a little more bearable.

These were an annual tradition growing up - K and I have continued that since we've been married.

These were an annual tradition growing up…though they were made in 1″ logs then.
K and I have continued that tradition…

Wow, this is the last post of the year.  Guess I’ll have to write a re-cap soon…

Training Journal – 12/27/12:

  • Current plan: Big Sur Marathon Training Plan – W1/D4
  • Today’s session: 3 mile easy run @ 8:37-9:37 pace + day one of carb loading for a half marathon on Saturday.
  • Comments: I looked at today’s forecast before going to bed last night and decided that it would be too hard to pass up heading up to Alum Rock Park this morning: clear and cool would make for a perfect trail run. I avoided the North Rim Trail though (based on Sunday’s run) and did the Creek and South Rim Trails for 6.95 @ 9:51
