Vajra is back

I picked up my poor little beetle last night from Tualatin Auto-Body. They gave me a chocolate beetle and a pink rose for my bud vase. Vajra is better than before the jail break. Smells like fresh paint.

Our 18 mile run was the first time I felt good running in 7 weeks. I’ve been training to run with an upper respiratory track infection. Just in the nick of time since Hood to Coast is Friday. We are in Van #1 I am leg #1 and paul is #2.

Run Away Car

My car escaped out of the garage, down the drive way, hit my neighbors car and crossed the street to take out the mail box. I was exhaused from being in Oakland all week. Remembered I left my lamination machine on and didn’t get the parking brake on tight enough. It took a week to get it into the shop. 8 days in the shop (because Allstate wouldn’t come over to approve the hidden damage). and over $3,000 worth of repairs.

1/2 Marathon 2005

It was a couple of weeks earlier this year. Our mileage increased really quickly. The run itself was much better this year. I wasn’t nursing an injury and the weather was coooool. It even rained a bit. For a couple of miles i considered putting my jacket back on. By the end of the 13.1 miles I was so done. How did I ever finish a marathon?
