Cool Google Maps Hack
A while back, my pal Larry showed me a cool mapping site that lets you take out a virtual tape measure and measure distances arbitrarily. It really hit the spot for figuring out how far I’ve been running. Today, via Make, I found a Google Maps hack called the Gmaps Pedometer. Using the same awesome…

Quick Run Update
Pulled in a nice 14.6 miler on Saturday morning. I overslept and started later than I wanted to; so, I just grabbed a 20oz plastic water bottle because I didn’t want to mess around with one of my camelbacks. Worked out pretty well. No more annoying than a camelback, except a little cramping in my…

Running Update
Geez, I’ve been so bad about posting my running progress lately. Seems that by the time all the work, chores, and running is done, I just done have any motivation to do anything, let alone try to put words together. That being said, I’ve have still been pretty motivated to run. At work, the lunch…

Ahh. Vacation good.
Very good, indeed. 4 days of nice relaxing. Running, skating, sleeping. I could get used to this. Finally getting around to enjoying my deck. I’ve always wanted to drag the ole’ laptop out to the deck and pretend to be productive, so that’s what I’m doing now. Wireless ethernet is damn cool. Man, getting back…

Had a particularly high mileage week last week. The weather, for central New York has been dynamite: mid sixties and sunny for…

Finally got around to turning on my online running log. Its kinda lame at the moment, but it does give some quick stats as to my running addiction. Sooner or later, I’ll get back to it and add some more stats and some charts. Stay tuned.

Operation: Morning Run, Day 2
Some people think running 5 miles is crazy. Some people may think that running 5 miles before work is crazy. Some people thinking running 5 miles before 6 AM is crazy. Seems just right to me. Nothing too eventful in this morning’s run. Even though it was pretty cool (about 65) it was very humid;…

Operation: Morning Run, Day 1
After much procrastination, I’ve decided to try to get back into the running habit. So, Saturday, I dusted off the old running shoes and headed out for a 6 mile jaunt. Did pretty good, but started off a little late in the day for me. Dehydration set in about 5.5 miles in, so I walked…
