Recreation: Training for my first race

Well, I ran the longest distance I ever ran continuously today. I ran the 5-mile route that I will be running for the BankNewport Pie Run 5 Mile Run & 3 Mile Walk. I owe a huge thanks to my wife for setting a pace I could keep for the whole time. I hope to finish the official run in under 45 minutes, and based on today's run, it shouldn't be a problem. I have never run a race before, as the title of this post says. I have a pretty good idea what to expect though. I am certain, on race day, that I will start out too fast and have to walk for a bit. Then I will probably reset my pace and finish out the run. Here's hoping.

Baby Gallery: New Laura Gallery

See Laura's month of October here: Album: Happy Halloween. While you are at it, if you haven't seen my other photos, take a look through them in the main gallery here: The Rhode Island Review Photo Gallery. Maybe you missed them the first time. Maybe you bookmarked the post where I linked them but never went back. Whatever the case, feel free to check them out at your leisure. I don't pay per electron used on the server.

Random Thoughts: I was having a great day...

I spent a wonderful morning with my little baby. We took a walk and went to Home Depot. I even cleaned our office and did some laundry. When I got in to work, the day just seemed to be flying by. It was already 6:08 and since I got in early I get to leave at 6:30. While helping a coworker with something, I passed by another coworker, who I was surprised to see here so late. I mentioned that fact to her when she informed me that is wasn't all that unusual for her to work until 5:30.

How's that for a bucket of ice water on your head? Stupid non-automatic setting clocks that don't know daylight savings time ended!

News: The blog site is functional

If you can't tell, the blog portion of the site is functional, although not complete. There are a bunch of older posts missing. Also, anything that links to a photo gallery is probably screwed up too. I also have 2 other videos that I didn't relink because I don't know exactly which was which. Hopefully, I will find a way to quickly repair/replace the photo gallery so that I don't have to re-upload and import all the photos.

News: Web Site Broken!!!

Hooray! My site is broken. Thanks, iPowerWeb.

Baby: Laura Walked!!!

Hooray! She walked! There are no videos or photographs. The only lasting evidence is the memory burned into Erin and my brains for all eternity. I’m just happy we both were around to see it.
