More Fun with FC5
I’d love to ditch XP completely, but I still have a few things that I need windows for. My master plan is to run FC5 as the primary OS and use XP in a Parallels virtual machine. I’ve messed around with Parallels before on ancient history PC hardware (400MHz PIII, 384Mb) and found it pretty…

Harddrive Replacement
Monday, I took a day off to concentrate on some chores that never seem to make it off my to do list. On of which was replacing the OS harddrive in my primary PC at home before its impending failure. Starting with a brand new 120Gb ide drive, I figured it would be best to…

Yar, Busy Busy Busy
Haven’t had time to sit down and do any writing lately, between work, exercise, visiting relatives, and some side projects. Exercise-wise (man, that’s a nice domain. nuts, its already taken.)

20 Running Rules
Larry was kinda enough to share this great list from the Runners World forums. Don’t be a whiner. Nobody likes a whiner, not even other whiners. Don’t make running your life, make it part of your life. When doing group runs, start on time no matter who is missing. Don’t compare yourself to other runners.…

A thankless job?
Spent a few hours over the weekend tuning up my blog content. I’ve gone through a recategorized all the posts (so not everything appears in the default category.) Hopefully, that should reading stuff like my running updates a little easier. I also fixed a problem in some of the older posts that had newline characters…

ARC of Onondaga County Half Marathon 2006
Earlier in the week, I was hedging on doing this race. My left foot was bothering me a bit. Not so much when I’m running, but afterward. I think it was me gunning a little too hard on my Monday fun run. Sticking to my normal 6 milers at the Y during the work week…
