You Can Run, But You Can’t Make Your Computer Run

I can joke about it now, because I’m up and “running” again after a series of computer plagues of biblical proportions. I kid you not, in a single week I had a desktop hard drive, a laptop hard drive and a wireless router all independently leave us for a better world. They were all more than five years old, but it has been pretty frantic around here getting schooled in 2009 technology. Not to mention that I’m singlehandedly keeping Best Buy in business.

Fortunately, training is going great. I capped a 43-mile week with a 16-miler at 9:11 pace on Sunday, and this morning my six-mile tempo run finally surpassed my target marathon pace (8:12, for those keeping score at home).

Even better, the Carnival of Running will return tomorrow… unless my cable modem explodes.

I’m Almost Back

Brand-new computer. Seven years of technology to catch up on, not to mention restoring old files. Running going well.
