I meant to write more

In two weeks I'll be in Paris, on my way back to the US after 6 months in France. It doesn't seem like I've been here that long. I was going to blog more, but then I just lost the motivation I suppose. I had some problems initially with bank accou...

Overslept

nobody@vox.com(StanfordSteph) — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 09:24:18 -0400

Well I was going to go to Basel. I even set my alarm. I hit snooze too many times though, and next thing I know it's 10:30. Oops. Guess I'm not going much of anywhere today. Oh well. I made coffee, had the leftover almond croissant from yesterday...

I ran!

So, I'm in France right now for work, trying to adjust to the big change in pretty much everything: work schedule, eating schedule, diet... I am still amazed at how people here eat the amount of butter and bacon that they do and not fall over dead...

Traveler's Conundrum

nobody@vox.com(StanfordSteph) — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 16:34:07 -0400

Having recently engaged in some serious intercontinental travel (Switzerland to New Zealand via Singapore), I have endured my share of long flights. On the way to NZ I watched 3 movies (Enchanted, August Rush and Juno) as well as a few episodes of...

Not dead!

Well, I kept intending to write a really good race report on the marathon. You know how that goes... So here we are, over a month later and I still haven't posted one. Things got a little crazy after the race, including a move overseas for work. ...

Running soon

nobody@vox.com(StanfordSteph) — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 23:17:34 -0500

The race is this Sunday! Eek! I'm runner #12894. I'm still a little wary of the race. I have been trying out some different socks, but I think I'm going to go with the beat up pair of New Balance ones that I wore for the marathon the first time ar...

I can not express how psyched I am to see this film.

Lucky 13

nobody@vox.com(StanfordSteph) — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 19:25:43 -0500

13 - The date of the race, and the number of days until the race. I had a pretty good running weekend. I decided to give up on the Asics Nimbus 9s. A seam at the front was rubbing a spot on my big toe and they seemed to be causing me bruised toena...

Merry Christmas!

So, the curtailed mileage schedule continues. I only ended up doing 10 miles on Saturday, as instructed by the TNT coaches. It is very hard to get my brain to accept that this is the right course of action, especially when presented with others g...

Dink... Dink... Dink... Dink... 24 days until the marathon! This saturday is supposed to be our last long run before the 3 week taper. I am not sure how far I will go. I may try for 16 or 18. I'll listen to what the coach has to say and do that...
