I started working full time and gained 10 lbs, ask me how! With  my new, innovative system – sit more, exercise less and eat more crap – you too can be on your way to a thicker waist and tighter … Continue reading →

Posted on July 18, 2014 by skepticaltechnophile

Noticed this great sticker today on my way to work.* It was on the back of an SUV that was just ahead of me. I laughed out loud. I don’t know anything about this driver, except that she’s a non-runner … Continue reading →

My security run

Posted on March 27, 2014 by skepticaltechnophile

When I don’t have much time and just want to get a run in, I can always rely on my 3.5 mile neighborhood run. It’s my default run. When in doubt, just run around the big block. I run it … Continue reading →

It’s Spring! Maybe.

Posted on March 20, 2014 by skepticaltechnophile

Celebrated the first day of spring with a run. Nothing grand, just 4 miles around the neighborhood. I wanted to get other stuff done so I just did a “run to get a run in.” It’s nice to have routes … Continue reading →

I’m the decider

Posted on February 14, 2014 by skepticaltechnophile

Went running 2 days ago in anticipation of the coming snow storm. It was cold, in the mid-teens, but not windy. Wind can make a cold day feel much, much colder. I’ve got my running clothing figured out for such … Continue reading →

Gonna get me a 13.1 sticker!

Posted on February 11, 2014 by skepticaltechnophile

I’ve taken the plunge and registered for a 1/2 marathon, the Potomac River Run in November. It’s billed as the easiest 1/2 marathon in the country. That’s because the course is essentially flat. The race takes place on the towpath next … Continue reading →

Don’t Target executives shop?

Posted on February 4, 2014 by skepticaltechnophile

I’m at Target right now. One of my kids has a gift card she wants to spend it. She is happily browsing the toy section. I am aimlessly pacing the main aisle. Why aren’t there any chairs here? Or anywhere … Continue reading →

Not feeble yet!

Posted on December 17, 2013 by skepticaltechnophile

In my Let It Snow! post from last week, I noted that I had to walk the last mile or so of my 9 mile run because my knee was giving me trouble.  It wasn’t in pain really, just very, … Continue reading →

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a…flying deer!

Posted on December 8, 2013 by skepticaltechnophile

Poor Krystine Rivera of Northern Virginia. She had a bad day at work last week and went on a run to relieve her stress. She should have used the treadmill. Here’s an abridged account on the Washington Post website. The account the … Continue reading →
