Crash Test Dummy

We just set up the crip for question mark. Sydney earned his keep by acting as field test specialist.

He was not ammused.

Running

Got back on the running schedule after a vasectomy about a week ago. I
did a quick trial 4 miles on Sunday to make sure everything stayed
together, then did 5.5 miles today. Today felt great. I raqn at about
8:30pm in about 36 degree F weather. I felt really comfortable at a
8min/mile pace.

Sunday was my Birthday. Rika and Addy are all I could ask for on my
birthday. I did get an iphone and embroidered pillow too which is just
icing on the cake.

Everything is good, waiting for the next bambino what ever it may be
(boy, girl). Not long now.

Hike in desert snow

it snowed about 3" today. Addy and I took a little hike in the snow.

I left my Pants in Starbucks on Jefferson

Yesterday Rika wanted to spend some money at the scrap-booking store so Addy and I headed over to Starbucks to get a coffee and honey bran muffin. While I was ordering and looking at a stainless steal thermal french press, (come google adsense give me some money here), Addy decided that her pants were restricting and took them off. Well she took them mostly off she was walking around the store with them hanging on one ankle.

Super market fresh basil is a rip-off I'm trying to grow my own. We'll see how it goes so far it is working out. Not big enough for pesto yet...

Update on running

I've been getting good miles in.

>11/07/07 3.14 miles on treadmill in hotel (SO BORING)
>11/09/07 3.56 miles on pavement back home
>11/10/07 4.5 miles run to bluehouse with Addy in chariot, then part way back with out addy.

>11/11/07 4.7 miles run Guadalupe+ route.
>11/12/07 6.0 miles ran home from work. The section of the pecos river through town is very disturbing I counted 120+ dead floating fish on the side of the river on my way home.

We are off to Albuquerque as a family for my vasectomy. Probably won't be running for about a week after that so I want to put in some high mileage runs this week.

-Cheers, Nate

I'm not addicted enough to wait in this line

So I like coffee, but not this much!

10k then you puke

So on saturday I ran a 10k road race in Roswell. It was fun and I felt really good. THat night I must have gotten sick because I spent the whole night ulternating between throwing up and sitting on the toilet. No fun. I took sunday off and spent all day monday traveling. I did a quick 3.2 mile run Friday last week. On a happy note I've jump started my weight loss by dropping five pounds when I was sick.

I'm in Canada for a few days. Weather sucks, but I should get some good runs in.

Love to my girls!

Travel Kills the workout schedule

I had to travel from Tuesday this week through late Thursday night. Even though I had a gym in my hotel and warm sunny socal weather I only got out for one run on Wed afternoon. It was a quick 4mile run.

So good to be home with my Girls!
