Yesterday, Erika and I ran a 5K through our neighborhood. It wasn’t fast by any means (I definitely slowed her down), but it felt so good to get out there and do it.
I have to start following my training plan for the fall!
Here were my stats for the run:
It was so hot that I got a migraine after we ran. Grrr. I swear, my body does not do well in heat. I get cranky and tired everytime I have to be in the sun when it’s too hot.
I’ve been staying up really late recently, which is really out of character for me. I’m usually out by 10pm or so. But this week I’m just not tired…
So I stayed up tonight to put together a video of our New England Trip. It’s a pretty rough edit, I really hate Windows Movie Maker.
[[Does anyone know of any consumer editing software that is similar to Avid or Final Cut Pro, but for a PC?]]
This video is 2.5 minutes long. Enjoy!!
I Loooooooove Tetris! I wish my Nintendo still worked. (The 1989 console, not the newer gameboy junk).
I downloaded a Tetris widget for my computer a while back and I seriously play EVERY DAY!
Not to toot my own horn, but I’m pretty good. It takes me FOREVER to finish games sometimes because I keep clearing the lines back down to the bottom. haha
Tonight, Irving and I just listened to this over and over.
Awe man, I miss my old-school Nintendo. I really think that if they brought those things back, they’d make a killing. I’d take that over the wii anyday.
Last night, Erika, Timmy, Irving and I teed up for a foursome of golf together! We played the 9-hole De Bell course in Burbank, and it was pretty awesome.
I love this course because you don’t have to be very good to play. No pressure. 🙂 But from all the cool weather we’ve been having, the greens were actually in really good condition.
The sun was really pretty too, we had such a nice time. There goes Timmy!
Erika lining up a putt!
I love Irving’s new shirt because it’s TEAL! Golfing is 90% fashion, 10% skill.
Speaking of fashion… just sign us up for the country club!
Look at that focus! That ball went flying!
Um… unlike this ball on the 9th hole…. WHIFF!
I love this picture. We should sell it to Golf Digest Magazine. HAHA
It was such a great way to spend a summer evening.

I’ve now been training for endurance events for over six years! I still consider myself “new” to the sport of marathon (and half-marathon) running, even though I have 8 half-marathons and 3 full marathons under my belt!
But I’m still a rookie and I need a training plan to prepare for my events in the fall. Here is my long run schedule I will be following more or less until the winter.
It follows similar plans to those I’ve had in the past. As much as I love marathons… it’s so nice to not see any 15-mile or 18-mile days on there. 🙂
I got off on the right foot today (literally)! Irving and I walked 2 miles before work this morning and then I did a 3 mile hike after work. 
LA has been having some unseasonably cool weather lately and it’s perfect for hiking! 
So I did a total of 5 miles, and it felt great!
