Running Update
The big test for streak came today, the weekend. Some how I was able to drag myself out of comfortable bed and added another half a mile. Everything working ok, but callus on left foot is still kinda angry for the first mile or so. Hopefully that beings to fade soon. Hmm, never noticed that…

No Complaints
Arizona may be insanely hot much of the year, but right now it’s super pleasant with day time highs in the low 70s, loads of sun and nice breeze.

My Favorite Kind of Friction
Got my renewal notice from AAA in the mail recently. Decided that we really don’t need the service any more. We haven’t had a service call in over 5 years and we don’t save enough money from their discounts to recover the $100 yearly charge. So, I logged into my account to cancel. Cool! there’s…

Day Two
Just got back from today’s run, less than 24 hours since last one. Still feeling mostly ok. The callus by my pinky two on left foot still pretty angry, but I that should fade in the coming days. Felt good to make it during pre-dawn hours, even if it was pretty cool. Oddly, it was…

Back on the road
So, after 3 month break from running (meh, don’t ask…) I decided that today was the day to get back out there. Staged clothes, shoes, and mp3 player last night. After a slow start, morning kid stuff, I figured I couldn’t procrastinate any more and hit the road. It seems to have gone well.…

Well, I wish I knew that…
Turns out I’ve been swallowing pills wrong my whole life. The trick is to tilt your head forward instead of back. My chonky probiotic daily pill now goes now much easier.
