Well that stinks. I was inputting my entry when my browser had a snafu and I lost all my typing. I’m just going to summarize.
I put in 15 miles on the trails today. A squirrel almost clawed me while attempting to cross in front of me around mile 4. I stopped at the food mart [...]

When I got to work this morning, my latest shipment from Amazon was waiting on me. I’m ready to get started on eBoys; it sounds like it’ll be better reading while The Fast Track seems like more of a reference. I saw on the back of The Fast Track that the author was a student [...]

Man, I haven’t had a run this nice in ages! I took the newest trail shoes out for another spin to try and convince myself that I’m still getting used to them. The weather was perfect, though the trail was a bit crowded with “Sunday Drivers”. I took advantage of this by putting in seven [...]

I stayed up late tonight so I could finish the last 30 pages or so in Liar’s Poker. I enjoyed this book, though I should have read it in fewer sittings because I’m afraid I forgot some of the story when I’d pick it back up. The subject matter took me back to my Money [...]

Wharton. Yes, that’s my final answer. It’s a nice feeling to have all this waiting over and done with. I suppose I need to cough up the enrollment deposit now.
Here’s how it turned out…
Havard – Denied without interview
MIT Sloan – Waitlisted with interview
Stanford – Denied without interview
Wharton – Admitted with interview
When I first completed my [...]

For the love, my local Krispy Kreme finally changed the featured doughnut from Pumpkin Spice to Cookies & Kreme. I have been awaiting this change for over a month now because I was not a fan of the Pumpkin. I will be stopping by on my way home from work to pick up a fresh [...]

Knowing that it’d be pretty dang cold outside and that the wind would be a factor, I put on my cold weather gear (which consists entirely of a pair of over-the-ankle socks instead of my usual rolltops). I simply cannot stand to burn up in pants or a long-sleeved shirt so it was shorts and [...]

I stepped over to the theater tonight to see Along Came Polly. I was mostly interested in seeing it because I found the previews to be hilarious. I also like several of the cast members, notably AB, JA, and PSH. DM from Will and Grace had a more minor role than I expected.
This movie is [...]

I am still divided over my new shoes, the Montrail Leona Divide. I took them for another run today, but stopped after 4 miles because things just didn’t feel right. My left leg is getting worn out very early and the shoes don’t seem to have much response. It’s as if all my energy goes [...]

To reward myself for finishing a 50K, I bought a new pair of Montrail running shoes. In the past, I had good luck with the Vitesse, but I ran into a sizing issue with the Melee and didn’t realize it until after I’d already run 3 miles in them (of course no store will [...]
