Update: We were backed up about 45 seconds from the starting line, so our official results (according to the chip worn on the shoelaces) were a smidge over 1:00 and 1:04. Woo hoo!
Spouse and I have completed our first 10k!
Neither of us did it as fast as we would’ve liked, but both of us came [...]

Blogging is funny

To wit: WordPress allows me to peruse certain stats like page views, most read posts, etc. My personal favorite is the one that tells me how people got here through a search engine. Most searches are for “grimsaburger,” which is no surprise since when I’ve been asked about how to find my blog, I generally [...]

Race day is tomorrow, and the nerves have started. I haven’t run since Tuesday since sometime over the weekend, that IT band/thigh nastiness hit me again and I’ve been trying to rest it and stretch it out. Hopefully this means my legs will be fresh and ready to run. We’re walking to the start from [...]

I don’t know why they sent us a paper check instead of directly depositing it into our account, but now that we have it in hand, I’m not going to spend much time trying to figure that little mystery out. I am going to spend all my free time figuring out how to renovate a [...]

Let me repeat that. If you run, get fitted for shoes.
I’m a cheapskate, but there are a few things I’ll spend a chunk of money on. Like the running shoes I bought in late February. You know, the ones that felt tight and a little uncomfortable right out of the box? But I was so [...]

Where’s my teleporting device?

We spent the last four days driving approximately 970 miles through Indiana and Kentucky. It was nice to see parts of Kentucky that we haven’t seen since we left five years ago, and nice that the Focus gets about 33 miles per gallon on the highway, and nice that we got to visit with friends [...]

Paducah is a tad warmer and muggier than it was at home when we left. We spent most of yesterday afternoon sweating. Not doing anything really, just sweating. I miss the south.
