23 MILES - WOW




I couldn't run with my regular running group this Saturday, but caught up Sunday morning with my 23 miler. Started at 31st street (which is the 6mile marker), ran down to the 1 mile marked (end of lake shore drive), back up north to North avenue beach (12mile marker) and back to 31st street, where I added just another 1/2 mile south and back to complete the total of 23 miles. For all you runners, I ran the first 12 miles on a 4:2 interval, and 11 miles on 2:2. No shin splint pain (new running style!), no blisters (double-lined socks), legs a little sore. Lessons learned - dont forget salt packs (important after 15miles), and !!! put sun lotion not only on face and arms, but also on the BACK of your legs (i ran 11 miles straight north) - got sunburned on the backside of my knees LOL ! Now I am back on my running schedule and am looking forward to run with my group again..

Thank you to all of you who provided donations so far - your support is highly appreciated and makes the effort worthwile !!!

DON'T FORGET ! - September 2nd, Chief O'Neills (just a block south of the corner of Addison and Elston), 7-11pm - Fundraising event with live music and lots of fun !!! Checkout http://www.wix.com/lafloer/BenefitsBash.

Thoughts on ‘Connected-ness’

Thought about some statement that friends made about being online often isolates someone from the ‘real’ world. My experience is the opposite. I have never been as connected as I am now, where I talk to a lot of people in person, as well as online. For example, I re-connected with people from Germany, old friends and working colleagues, who otherwise would not run into me in person. Used appropriately and with caution, being connected can be a wonderful help in establishing, keeping and/or re-establishing human connection.

Life's Lessosn Learned of Today: How to delete a 'obnoxiously' re-appearing TV Show from iTunes

I happen to be a recent owner of an iPod Touch 4G. This is a longer story and going to be a different post. One of the things I do is to subscribe to free content on iTunes. I subscribed to a free pilot show, watched it and then deleted it from the iTunes list of TV shows. To my surprise, it reappeared uploaded from the iPod again. Since there is no command to delete it from the iPod directly, I was at a loss. Now i tried the following - delete it from iTunes, then sync, and when it warns you that non-sync content will be deleted from the iPod, say yes (!). Make sure you synced before, deleted the show again, and the only thing different is the one show. That will get rid of it. Gee, could be easier, couldn't it ?

2nd day of training

Image by Paul Morgan via Flickr Monday, 4/27/9 Running with the group at work for a 5 mile along the Lakeshore. I am caught off guard on how humid it is and end up huffing and puffing and walking the last 1/2 mile back to the office. Lesson learned – i have to adjust my speed based on weather conditions, and drink more water when the temperature is higher.
