    Day 80

    I’m back from the weekend camping trip. It was a short stay. I got a little better at packing. The weather was warm, relatively speaking. It was a little bit above freezing through the trip and was quite comfortable.  There were three of us. I had my fun. We arrived a little late, I think 8:30 or 9:00 pm. (more…)

    Day 79

    Morning going to work.

    Foggy morning after yesterday snow; taken at Vienna bus/metro station

    Checking the weather for this weekend. We have little over full moon and few degrees above freezing temperature. Wind is at 5 mph. It may rain both Friday and Saturday, but I am going camping!   (more…)

  • Trolling

    Day 78

    Marine Corp Marathon is one of the revered marathons in the area, and probably is internationally renowned as well. The lottery to sign up for it will open next month. I think I was pretty lucky person when I got a spot in 2017. Some people say it is not as hard as one thinks.  (more…)

  • Inconsequential

    Day 77

    Snow for real! Schools are closed. Government is closed. Buses are on a special schedule and can cancel any time without notice. Yeehaw! It means  we are going camping (can’t wait). That’s how I feel any way. The camping trip is this weekend but I feel we can go today! We have been waiting since last weekend for snow when it was supposed to snow and it has been pushed back to today. (more…)

  • Even busier

    Day 76

    Weekend was even busier but I didn’t do much over the weekend. It was a great weekend for various personal reasons, all related to God, family, and friends, so I won’t go into it.  (more…)

  • End of the week already

    Day 75

    I can’t remember much what happened the last few days. I did about four miles run over three days. It was not that much. Monday, did I run? If not I don’t remember why. Probably it was the weather and I stayed in to read/catch up on my manga. I am a recent convert to be a manga fan from anime. (more…)

  • 5k report

    Day 74

    I ran the “Run your heart out 5k”.  I was so close to running my heart out. It was 27 seconds away from my personal best. I finished at 24:27 and my best was 24:01 on the same course set on Feb 2017.  (more…)

  • Middle of the night

    Day 73 Halfmoon Mnt

    Run: It got cold since last night. I was going to run to get to 30 miles but having been out the whole day, I just couldn’t bring myself to get back out there in the cold.  More on this why I was out.  Instead of running, I had a cross-train day.  (more…)

    Day 72 – Seattle Trip Plan (July 2019)

    I just booked my plane ticket to Seattle for the Jack and Jill Marathon. This is for July. I know it is still awhile away but usually price will go up,  so might as well book it now.  (more…)

    Here and there

    Run About – Day 71

    I did a run here and there. I know if this keep up I will be in trouble, at least for the first marathon coming April. I am doing about six this year (goal of doing six in six months), doubling the number of last fall. It is not too late to save it. I think if I focus to train the next 8 weeks I can do it.  (more…)
