Running... Again?

Image
  If you know me you know there was a time about 10 years ago or so where I was running. A lot. At least 5 days a week and at least 5 miles a run. I wasn’t training, I wasn’t preparing for a race or a marathon. I just found myself enjoying the time spent running. I wasn’t obsessed with numbers, but I kept track of them all and liked seeing improvements in time and distances. It was good physical health and mental health. Then I tweaked my knee. Not bad enough that I couldn’t walk on it, just a tweak that told me I needed to back off of running for a little bit. So I decided on 2 weeks. At the end of 2 weeks I aborted a run very early as the pain was still there. 2 weeks became 3, became a month, became 5 years. 

Lent

Lent kind of snuck up on me this year. I was thinking about it a couple weeks ago and preparing my list of things to give up, and then it hit and I was a little late. Lent, in a nutshell, is the act of giving up something/s to prepare oneself for Easter and Christ's resurrection. So what am I giving up? Fast food, pizza, and alcohol. Yep, no alcohol. The other thing I'm giving up is the computer... after 9pm. I can't give it up completely, I mean I work on one daily, but I can limit my off the clock time on the computer. So if you're used to seeing me online at all hours of the night, hopefully you won't be seeing me for the next 40+ days. So, what are you giving up for Lent?

The Weekend

Pretty busy weekend, this past President's day 3 day weekend, with Macworld winding down on Saturday and some fun events opening in the City my Saturday was booked from breakfast to dinner. Sunday was again spent in SF doing some photography, picking up some delicious goodies from  Sugar By Ida , (delicious stuff, by the way) and a stop at the Apple store to make sure a couple things were still good on the ol' Mac Book Pro, and finishing with a disappointing dinner followed by the events in the previous post.

Busy Weekend

Pretty busy weekend on the tech front coming up. Saturday I'll be at the Apple-less  Macworld  expo. Truth be told I wasn't planning on going to it. Apple isn't going to be there, and most of the big name companies in the Mac world aren't going to be there either, but apparently there's going to be some kind of iPad demonstration, so I'm hoping for some hands-on time with it to help with the whole iPad vs. Nook thing.
