I did, however, learn a lot about the Blackberry especially from a development perspective. There is a lot more to the Blackberry than I thought. I saw examples (e.g., 7Digital) of applications that really rock. I am excited about the opportunities for learning and doing more in this regard. I also finished a very simple, but finished an application for the iPhone while I was there. So, flexing my technical muscle and enjoying it. I love learning.
| I have started reading Born to Run by Christopher McDougal. I keep hearing that others in the running community are reading and commenting accordingly. So, my curiosity got piqued. I like the start of the book. Now, to see if I find enough time to make a dent. Should be an easy read. |
My Brook's Beast running shoes have started wearing down on the left heel. In fact, they have been wearing through the first rubber layer in less than 200 miles! I wear an ankle brace on that foot. I have been wearing the Brook Beast for years. But, I know this shoe has more miles of service remaining. So, I am using shoe goo to extend the life. I just can't fathom changing shoes every 175 miles. I think it is going to work. I have had 1 run on the shoe shown here (after applying the goo).

Hey Bob! Go for Augusta!! It was a great race, and I wish I could have done it. JG had a good time and says that the swim is easy. Stay at the host hotel if you're bringing your fam.
Are you doing the Mercedes full??
--KG
Did I hear you placed in a race recently? They mentioned "Katie won ..." I missed the details as we were getting ready to head out Sunday at Brownell. I am getting fired up on the Augusta idea. So, I think the writing is on the wall.
Yes, I'm in for the Mercedes full. The TNT training for Augusta starts in January. I think blending these 2 is going to be interesting.
Ha! I wish . . . no placing for me these days. I'm lucky if I make it out the door (and back for that matter).
It is hard to juggle marathon training w/ tri training but with TNT I'm sure you'll be able to stay right on track. I'm excited for you and hope you have a great experience. I'm hoping to do my first half IM next year too--not sure if I'm going to sign up for Augusta or another . . . see you @ Mercedes and good luck training until then!
