Four miles. Somewhat fast. About 9 min/mi. It felt good. Five more weeks until the 10 Miler race. Much more training to do!!

Had a date with gf last night. Dinner out, movie (A-Team). It was our "2 Month Anniversary." Silly, perhaps, but true nonetheless.

I've got my boys overnight tonight. That should be nice. I should have them long enough in the morning to...

I think I have been inadvertently, and incidentally, learning to hate my own mattress.

I slept at my place last night and, from the moment I woke up through the present moment, my back has been hurtin' like a sum-muh-muh-bitch! Gf has one of those fancy Sleep Number beds. Maybe there is something to that whole notion. Or maybe this is just a "bad" morning...

Went to birthday party/cookout Friday. Had an argument with gf that evening. Don't worry, ladies -- it WAS my fault!! And I told her so.

After family time at the community market Saturday morning, we went to my place and took a much-needed nap before watching a movie.

Gf brought over cupcakes to celebrate her birthday with my boys Sunday afternoon. We all had a...

I took the afternoon off yesterday to run some errands.

Bought some darkroom chemicals, mix up the master batches, and should be ready this evening to process some film.

Spent some time (and a considerable amount of money) in Target getting some things that I wanted to have: a cooler, a picture frame for gf's birthday present, swim goggles for the boys, etc.

Went to...

Fuck Nike + iPod. The last several days I have had to go through a process of deactivating/powering-down/reactivating/powering-down to even get the frigging iPod to recognize the sensor in my shoe. Today the process included an additional power-cycle, the work out started. I checked it at the halfway point -- 3 miles in. It had recorded a total distance of 0.00 miles despite the 31...

Dinner and a movie last night. "Salt." Very entertaining. We were going to stay in our seats and watch again, but it was getting late, so home we go.

4 miles this morning at a good pace (9:something per mile).

It seems as if the ex and I will have lunch together Thursday or Friday. I suppose to talk about child support and/or gf being...

Ran 10 miles yesterday. Gf and I pushed ourselves a bit. 7 more weeks until the ten mile race. Our run yesterday was mostly flat, the race is almost completely hills!! THAT ... is gonna suck!! We took today off from running. We will probably keep the distances this week in the 4-6 range, but run more and walk less. Come the weekend, though, I...

Feeling pretty good today. Yesterday I wrote a new post on my dating advice blog. Went home and ran three miles on the treadmill while a major storm dumped rain on the area. Met one of gf's good friends before going to pick up the prints from the "intimate" photo shoot I sat for (will scan during lunch and post). Watched "Superstar" -- I had...
