Allergies…or Bubonic Plague?

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Only your medicine man knows for sure…yes I am writing this post to let you all know that I went to town today to change my allergy medication (all over the counter, not prescription). I took one at 5 PM today and hope that it will do the trick. I changed from [...]

Karate 46

Monday, June 16th, 2008

After my race Saturday morning in Devon I rushed off to join a Kobudo class in Devon. There were just brown, black, and higher belts there so Marilyn (the only lonely orange belt) was happy to see me. She gave me my Tonfa sticks (which I irreverently refer to as “tofu sticks”) and [...]

Yes, I got in another lesson but there really isn’t much I want to say about it as I am suffering from burnout and don’t really feel like writing. It was good and I am getting better. Next Saturday I have a race to attend so I will miss the first two hours [...]

A biking we will go…

Friday, June 6th, 2008

I chose to rest up from road pounding today and not run, so I hopped on my bike and mapped out a route for my next long run on Sunday which is to be 24 km. So I rode to Devon. For some stupid reason I had a huge lapse of focus and [...]
