Success! After a brutal two week, I have survived. Last week was riddled with plans and meeting preparing for a difficult weekend in support of a new release of our software. I worked for an ungodly amount of hours to ensure everything went smoothly as by random bad luck my weekend to cover landed on this release. Though the release was a great success, before we had a chance to celebrate, our primary database decided to crash causing a flurry of misery.

I haven't had a good nights sleep in almost two weeks. I plan to visit a nice resturant tonight and eat expensive foods and fill my belly with expensive wine. When I can no longer eat or drink, I will stumble into bed and sleep and sleep and sleep.

I wonder...

Amazing! On Sunday, April 27 the Alley Pond Striders 5 M challenge will be held at Alley Pond Park. This will be my fourth time running this race. How time flies! For me, this race marks the beginning of spring and the running season.

I ran last year in 0:36:12.1 (7:14/mile). I'm a year older and a quick review shows I've been slacking in my workouts this month. Too much going out I suppose. I hope all the biking I've been doing will allow me to push the pace and beat my record.

My watch is disintegrating. Offically, I've logged nearly 4000 miles since May 2005 and wanted a quick picture to prove it.

On a more somber note, Belle passed away yesterday. She was 11 years old.

Today, I feel like this. And I'm not the guy tossing the punch.

I feel like this today.
