Found a good 8 mn/mi rhythm right away. Too bad it only stuck with me for, well, 8 min. By k 3, I was there again and ended strong with a 7.5 mn/mi after another brief rest. Overall pace: 9 mn/mi.

Running Past
Mom sent over the times from my last season in High School XC – I mostly finished between 20:30 and 21 min. Thanks mom. Some good motivation after last night’s failed attempt due to going out too close to finishing dinner. While I hit a 7’42” mile. I stopped there.
Working With Nature to Stop Climate Change

Gesture Deja Vu
Gesture Deja Vu…..I haven’t read Steve Gilmor for a while now, so I kept having to check the post date on his Gesturesphere post. I swear I read the first 3 paragraphs more than 2 years ago. Perhaps, like Don Sobol, Gillmor re-uses a handful of intros with each gesture.
Goal: 5k, Actual: 5k, Time: 30:52
Good run for the first K and a half, held a nice 7 mn/mi pace. It was a fight to keep going after that and while I reached 7 again at the 3k mark, I finished with an average 9.75 mn/mi. The interval runs to this point have been a barometer to see where I …
Goal: 5k, Actual: 5k, Time: 30:32
Pretty hard run. Thankfully, the dust was gone. Unfortunately, it was replaced by 96F heat. iTunes isn’t remembering my Nikeplus.com account info – so none of the workout data is being sent to the Nike site. Definitely not the seamless integration advertised. Maybe I’ll look into this after I cool down. Update: Not sure what …

How the iPhone Unexpectedly Impressed Me
I stopped by the Roseville Apple Store this afternoon to diagnose 2 recurring problems with my year old MacBook Pro; 6 month old battery barely holds a charge, and bottom quarter of the LCD screen is all multi-colored stripes – completely unusable. It’s just a few weeks outside of it’s one-year warranty, again proving to …
