random thought of the moment:
Worrycrats, as I call them, are a special breed of totalitarian bureaucrats who spawn rapidly as society is socialized. These people concern themselves with our health, education, welfare, auto safety, drug intake, diet, and what have you. Worrycrats today outnumber any other professionals in history, so rapidly have they proliferated.

2008 Race for Pace 5K
Well, I didn't finish the Race for Pace in under 25 minutes, as I'd hoped. Still, I can't be too disappointed. Running on a very hilly course just one week after running a grueling half marathon, I finished in 25:20. Not bad.

Thisentryis part 5 of 5 in the series 2008 RunningIt was the best of races. It was the worst of races.
On September 28, I ran a PR in the Great Race, finishing in 50:49. That's more than 3 minutes faster than last year's 53:56. The only way I could have been happier is if […]
2008 Mothers Days 5K and Fathers Day 10K
Thisentryis part 4 of 5 in the series 2008 RunningOops. I've neglected to report on my participation in the Race for the Cure 5K on Mothers Day. Well, my 26:59 finish (8:42 pace) wasn't my worst, but it certainly wasn't my best. I certainly haven't been training as much as I should. In my defense, […]
2008 Just a Short Run Half Marathon
Thisentryis part 1 of 5 in the series 2008 RunningOn Saturday, I ran my fourth half marathon at the 8th annual Just a Short Run. It was definitely my worst. I'm not too disappointed, though, considering I didn't really train for it. BTW, that was a bad idea; don't emulate me. Anyhow, I finished without […]
2007 Harry C. Holland Gutbuster 8mi
Thisentryis part 13 of 13 in the series 2007 RunningOn a warmer-than-average Thanksgiving morning I ran the Gutbuster 8mi. I stumbled in at 1:34:23, exhausted and sore. Man that's a brutal course, especially when you haven't had time to train more than once a week. My split was a little more than 43:00, about a […]
