Heat Wave

It's just too hot to run in the sun, bike in the sun, do anything except lie in a hammock and listen to the birds..... Day 3 of the heat wave - 97 degrees yesterday. It's supposed to stay like this for the rest of the week....... perfect weather for my new career as a beach bum. If only I had a beach....

Digitizing Vinyl

Spending vast amounts of time using the ION turntable and Audacity software to digitize my 30-year old vinyl collection. Starting to wonder how many songs I really like, and if it wouldn't be cheaper to just buy those songs from iTunes.... the really annoying part is listening to them all, so I know when a side is done.
Weather Report, Elvis Costello, Van Morrison (everything), Stones, Taj Majal.....a trip back in time. Then, it's on to the casette tapes ......

How far is 10 miles ????

Car on Fire (sort of)

Got off the highway today and smelled something burning. Made it home and noticed smoke coming from the right front wheel well, and up through engine. How exciting ! Have to wait until Monday to get it towed.

The Running Slug

This is the famous RUNNING SLUG......mascot of runners in my class. Look fast - before he gets away !

Slowing Down ?

Is it possible to get any slower ? This was a 3.4 mile "run" ("slog" ?) from yesterday.

How many days ????

Actually, it's 46 days until the Philadelphia Broad Street Run.
Managed 8.6 miles today in 1:45..... at this rate, I'll be doing the Broad Street SHUFFLE... not even a walk......

Today's mileage is 8.1 or 7.1....

Nike+ sensor needs recalibrating again. Nike+ Maps says I ran 7.1 miles in 1:36:18... which seems about right.....
Today's run used Running Playlist C - which contains a very strange assortment.....
David Frizell, Donna Summer, Elevators, Soul Asylum, Procol Harem, Elvis Costello, Irene Cara, Joan Armitrading, Nirvana, Peaches & Herb, Rolling Stones, Sly & the FS, Village People (yes), Parliament Funk...

Running for ...

Weeks......

Back to running outside today - 43 degrees.... in shorts............
