Today was long run day around here, and even though I just ran at race pace yesterday, I went ahead with my scheduled long run.
My left leg felt like most of the muscles in it were fatigued the entire run and as a result they were very tense. This lead to a lot of pain as I made my way around the 6 mile loop. For a little while after I got back, both my knees ached.
I think I know why. For one, I raced yesterday. The bigger reason, I think, is that my shoes are 8 months old. I am pretty sure they are just broken down and ready for retirement. I am sure I have put too many miles on them.
Before I started writing this post, and even before I took my shower, I sat down and ordered a new pair of the same Adidas Supernova Ctl I already have. These are a different color, so I am sure I will be faster.
I just hope it’s racing and old shoes that made my leg feel like that, because those two things are fixable.

I had a 5K race today. This was a virtual race, and I have to say, I am not impressed. The course was ill thought out. It turned out to be an out and back, but there were no markers at all. The start time of “Around 4″ was also strange. It was as if I made it up as I went along.
The race director, and cheering crowds for that matter, where no where to be found. I saw one guy, ONE GUY, along the entire course, and when I said hi to him he turned and walked away. It was like he didn’t even know there was a race going on.
I figured they had saved all the money for the post race meal, not so. When I got to the finish (which luckily was right outside my house) there was not a MORSEL of food ANYWHERE. I had to walk to the store and get MY OWN post race meal.
Nice shirts though. 24:19 finish time.

I can’t spell, it’s terrible. It’s one of those problems though in modern society that really doesn’t beg to be fixed. Machines take care of it for me for the most part.
Today however I was sending a text message on my phone (on there if I don’t know how to spell something I use a different word, or I turn the word into leet speak so I can fake it) I wanted to use the word startled. I wasn’t sure if I had spelled it right, so I, like I often do, typed it into google before hitting send. This site popped up:
What the heck.
irb can be a lot of fun. I will usually fire it up to test something out as I am looking over some ruby.
I just wanted to drop a pointer on here to a new Group Blog I have recently joined. We don’t have a proper domain yet, we are piggy backing on Lon’s domain for the time being, but we are putting up some posts as we iron it all out.
The blog is currently 4 men, some who can cook (the other 3) and 1 (me) who is learning to cook. So far it’s been a lot of fun and I hope we can keep it active.
Drop by and have look see.
If you have an idea for a domain name, drop it in the comments.

One of the apps I really liked on OS X was Quicksilver. However I really only used a small subset of what it was capable of. Mostly I found using it as a smart ‘Run Dialog’ was quite handy.
To that end I decided that I would bind a run dialog to the same key combo as I had used with Quicksilver.
Nothing in Gnome is straight forward and it took a little digging, but I figured it out. To set up our custom keybinding (we’re going to use <ctrl>+<alt>+r to launch our run dialog) you have to install or already have ‘gconf-editor’.
Fire up gconf-editor which appears to be an ill-conceived regedit and navigate to
apps -> metacity -> global_keybindings
Double click on the run_command_1 and then hit the key combination you want to use. (In my case <ctrl>+<alt>+r).
Now, we need to map that combo to a keybinding_command. Click on ‘keybinding_commands’ (right below ‘global_keybindings’ in the left hand pane) and double click on ‘command_1′. Type the word ‘gmrun’. You’re done with that part so go ahead and close gconf-editor.
If you haven’t already done so, install gmrun. `sudo apt-get install gmrun`.
Now we are ready to give it a shot. Hit the key combination you picked for your keybinding, and when gmrun appears, start typing. It supports tab-completion, so you really only need to hit a few letters and then the tab key.
One more gmrun tip before I end this post. You can create a ~/.gmrunrc file and set up certain behaviors (see man gmrun for a full list). For example in my gmrunrc I set it up to make Firefox handle urls in a new tab:
# Url Handler
URL_http = firefox -remote "openURL(%u, new-tab)"
Happy computing!
After the 5 miles on Sunday, and the 9 mile walk yesterday I wanted to keep the pressure on today. Then I woke up some pretty snowy conditions.
No matter, I walked over to the barracks and ran my 3 miles there and then walked back.
It’s about 1.4 miles from my house to the barracks giving me over 2.5 miles walking in addition to the 3 mile workout.
The 3 miles was slow. I was feeling strong, but not fast and the snow kind of dictated that I slow down anyway. It was fun. Amusingly there was another guy over there at the same time doing some run/walking. I passed him and he didn’t acknowledge me.

Like a blacksmith to the forge people.
Over the past few weeks my weight has crept up a bit. I had been weighing in at 177 for the longest time, and now I am at 183. I need to cut a few pounds before the spring racing season gets into full swing.
Today I decided that I would go for a long walk to help burn off some extra calories.
I set out to walk 2.5 miles in one direction and then I was going to turn around and come home. I ended up finding a road and following it way out around town. In the end I walked 9 miles.
