I just finished building a Custom PC for a friend of mine; it’s built around a Celeron G850 and an ATI Radeo HD 6850.  Not too shabby for around $400.

I haven’t fully recovered from my marathon when I joined this race (not doing more than 3 runs before the race didn’t help, either)…but regardless…I will never fall below 25:30 again in a 5K race.  This is beyond embarrassing!

So I completed all the races I planned to join earlier this year. I feel great!

For 2012, here is my short list:

• NYC Half-Marathon (if I get in)
• Silver Lake 5
• Princeton 10K
• Boston Half
• Philadelphia or NYC Marathon (if I get in).   GOAL: To beat 3:50

Somewhat better. 4:41.

Finished. Barely. 5 HOURS.

It’s quite apparent that at mile 18 or so that I have not prepared enough for this. My longest run before the race was 17 miles.

I felt hitting “The Wall” more than once. I didn’t have the energy even to lift my legs! I have no idea how I managed to pick up my pace around mile 22!

I’m running the Philly Marathon next month…Hopefully I’d fare better…at least I know what to expect. I think.

I wasn’t even expecting to do OK today because my leg muscles were still stiff from a long run yesterday. Still a FAIL, though. No excuses.

I have one word about Nikon’s recent mirrorless camera announcement: stupid.

I think I’m getting the hang of going minimalist…I ended up with a VivoBarefoot Neo. 8:30 minute-mile! YEEEZZZ!

One thing’s certain: I’m probably not doing this again. It’s too boring. I’m pretty sure there’s less than 50 of us for the 40-mile race.
