I was supposed to have an eye doctor appointment today… but I screwed up the dates. Because apparently I was supposed to have an eye doctor appointment YESTERDAY. For some reason I had typed into my phone to remind me I had a doctor’s appointment and I thought that meant as a reminder it was […]
Here are a few photos from the past few weeks courtesy of others. Sometimes you see a picture of something you distinctly remember happening but can’t believe that particular photo exists. You suddenly realize it’s from a different angle than you ever remember seeing before. It’s new and provides a different context or perspective on […]
So my left shoulder blade isn’t hurting as much but my neck is absolutely killing me. It hurts to hold up my head, it hurts to lie down. It hurts to move from side to side. It hurts to hold still. It just plain hurts. I’ve tried tylenol, advil, aleve, topical analgesics, ice, and nothing […]
It’s befitting that this race has such close ties to NASA because the only way to describe it is that today was my Apollo 13 Marathon. It was a successful failure. Things started a little rough as despite warnings and doom and proverbial gloom air raid sirens in the Captain’s Log emails leading up to […]
This is the last entry on the Seniors First Turkey Trot 2016. Here are a selection of photos “for purchase” from the race photographers. Were they not so expensive I would definitely buy one or two. If you didn’t know it was me, it could be anybody in that Turkey Costume. Hell, I should’ve just […]
That’s one dead turkey costume. It being Black Friday, I was on the hunt for a new pair of running shoes on the cheap… and then found my last pair of Brooks Beast in the back of my closet. So new shoes for zero dollars, right? Yeah, yeah… I paid for them BEFORE… but I’m […]
Happy Thanksgiving from this big ol’ turkey in the City Beautiful! Today I went downtown to Lake Eola for the Seniors First Turkey Trot 5K. Last year Mom and I went and I ran in a full turkey costume; not wanting to repeat myself, I donned a cooked turkey outfit I bought off the internet […]
It took me a while to figure out the rather byzantine Disney Photo Pass website. I finally cracked the keystroke/mouse click combination to download all the photos in one go rather than clicking each one individually and downloading one… by one… by one. Hint: It’s NOT this: Here then are a few of the pics […]
I’ve got an email out to Kate over at Mainly Marathons as I think she was overly generous on my 6th Day race in Needles, CA. I suspect there was a transposition error on the timing as my Garmin showed something like a 3:32 finish. This chart however used the figure she has on the […]
Years ago there was a snafu at the Space Coast Marathon and I wasn’t allowed to run because they claimed I hadn’t registered. I drove him in a Groundhog Day angry, foul mood and pulled up an image of the cashed check that showed I had paid 10 months before the event and they hadn’t […]
