hey! time for a running update. most of my weekly updates get sent over the social channels and i forget i’ve been quiet again over here since letting you all know the twingy heel was pretty much mostly not twingy anymore ( exciting stuff, i know ).
well, i’ve been keeping at it and i added up all the mileage – 6 miles today and 35 miles for the week. this is my 6th 35 mile week in a row and i’ve ran 500 miles total over 22 weeks since starting running again while only missed 1 week on vacation.
wow!
things are feeling good enough that i signed up for the chicago marathon in october. assuming i stay injury free, i plan to be there for the first time in 9 years.
almost 60 years after the doors of perception was first published, in recent psilocybin research scientists discover that, “a lot of brain activity is actually dedicated to keeping the world very stable and ordinary and familiar and unsurprising.” i’m certain if i was a research subject my brain would have fun by playing no surprises on endless loop in the fmri tube.
wow. @flickr is 8 today http://blog.flickr.net/en/2012/02/10/an-amazing-8-years/ which means odin is going to be 8 soon! http://blog.flickr.net/en/2004/07/20/a-tiny-baby-16-days-old/
odin’s hockey team occasionally plays a brief scrimmage between periods of high school games. it’s a neat opportunity for them to play to the crowds and the parents of the high school players enjoy watching the young kids play while remembering when their own kids looked so little on the ice.
this was the last home game of the season for the boys high school team, so the arena was packed and boisterous since the boys were already ahead by several points by the end of the first period. exciting! ( odin is looking at the camera with a red mouth guard )
just moments before hitting the ice!
the kids had a great time and maybe enjoyed showing off just a bit 🙂
