Marine Corps 10K in DC

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Well, I did it! I ran the Marine Corps Marathon 10K this past Sunday here in DC. 6.2 miles without stopping! Seriously! This was my first distance race event ever. I ran in Mark’s place since he’s running the NY Marathon next Sunday. He had already paid the $50 entry fee and I figured, I’ll […]

DC - the first weekend

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

Hey Everyone! We sure do miss you all, but can’t deny that we’re having a great time here in DC. This past weekend was a whirlwind of activity, and I was really happy to be sitting down at my computer today.
Mark had Friday off from work, so we worked some while he went to pick […]

We made it.

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

Well, we got here on Wednesday and the trip was surprisingly pretty easy: Direct flight in to Baltimore, free shuttle to the train station and a 20 minute Amtrak ride into DC. Mark’s place is very centrally located with anything and everything close by. It’s quintessential fall weather here with the trees on the verge […]

We’re moving to DC…

for three weeks
We intended to write this post much sooner but have been completely overwhelmed with work and life the past couple weeks and couldn’t fit it in. And we have to be at the airport in 6 hours so the overview will probably be brief (we need to get some sleep). But […]

In case you though the Captain couldn’t get any awesomer…
So my brother Mark (AKA Captain Awesome) is running the New York Marathon on November 2nd. And apparently his time that he ran at a half marathon in Philly a few weeks ago made him eligible to apply for the Sub-elite runners in New York. Well, […]

Oh! Oh! Pick me!

Best .99 I ever spent

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Sometimes you just need to record stuff.
Yesterday I bought this very useful application, simply called Recorder, for only 99 cents. It already came in handy for a meeting I had this morning. Über practical and very easy to use.
The end.

Aspen weekend ‘08

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

 
Every year since we’ve known each other, we’ve taken a walk at Aspen Vista near the Santa Fe ski area around this time of year and have taken a picture in the exact same spot. So this past weekend we made our annual trek to snap photo number 8. It’s always a great time and […]

My current desktop wallpaper

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

So this is random. Above is my current desktop wallpaper. I think I got it on Monday. I really like it; it’s not as distracting as I thought it would be. If you want to give it a try, you can download it here.
Please only use for personal use. Enjoy.
