  • I backtracked this weekend.

    So it was funny that this article would find its way in to the Post this morning. I didn’t stop, I didn’t have any elbaorate story… I was on the toll road, in the wrong lane, and didn’t feel like busting my ass (and or car, and or anybody else’s) trying to get over in

  • What I’ve Been Up To – 06/05/08

    It has been a while since a general update of things. NetflixDespite realizing that there is no way I’ll watch enough movies in a month to warrant this, I dove in. I have a two week trial, so what do I have to lose? I’ve already rated like 400 movies, created a queue of 100,

    I’m not entirely sure how this race got in my calendar, but it was there so at 11:15am I left work in my running outfit enroute to DC. I drove around a bit, couldn’t find any runners, eventually parked, jogged around a mile before finding a guy (Mark O’hara?) who knew where the start was.

  • Arlington Science Focus School 5k Recap

    My first race of the season (and supposedly my baseline, but the silly course was a bit long so it didn’t help much)! Anyway, I ran around 20:04 (fumbled my watch and results aren’t posted yet) for 5th overall and 1st in my age group (yay for a trophy!). Based on the recent times of
