Invitational Colon-Resection 1/2 Marathon






I ran over a half marathon today. Wow am I sore.

Jill had me down for 11 Miles with different pace intervals, when I did the math I got 12, I mapped out a run for 13, then ran almost 14.

I set a 1/2 Marathon Training PR of 2:47:08. Not the best time in the world, but it will work as a target to improve upon over time.  When I was running back, cooling down, with the lovely blizzard snow biting my face in the strong wind, I though if I just laid down on the overpass I would most probably be moving faster than I am shuffling.  A snail and two turtles passed me.

WTF?

Ok, imagine my surprise, when I get back to my blog and discover, 2 automated posts didn't show up.  And only poor Katie writes to see where I have disappeared to.

Being the world's greatest scientist and most intelligent person, I began to investigate.  It turns out that Blogger is run by Americans.  And therefore the date is Month/Day/Year.  Of course, the rest of the world does it Day/Month/Year or Year/Month/Day, but that does not matter.  If it's good for Americans it's good for blogger, and therefore it is good for me.

As a heads up:
  • on January 2 (the past), a post will appear discussing traction devices for winter running
  • of course for some really stupid reason I didn't post anything to appear on the one day that would work February 2 
  • on March 2, a post will appear discussing my Diverticulitis which happens to be improving and is a little gross so I will delete it for now unless I want to start a trend called "farting Friday" or "bowel resection Thursday" or something similar
  • I'll rewrite Friday's post or even wing it!
Finally, I'm in talks to partner on a guerrilla venture to develop some time-sensitive super-secret software, with an entrepreneur who has a successful track-record of taking stuff from the garage to the victory lap.  I have a decent track-record too, but I've never been the money guy, I've always been the Scotty to Captain Kirk.  In this venture, I could be Dr. McCoy, or even Mr. Spock!  All I really want to know is that when we organize a landing party, I don't have to wear the red shirt!
