IMG_4480 Originally uploaded by josh.ev9. Apple Powerbook. That’s right, I’ve made the switch. I’m writing my first blog entry from the new machine. It’s always exciting to get a new computer, but this has been especially interesting because I’ve had to learn a whole new operating system, which hasn’t been as much of a chore…

Blog Reader Location Map Originally uploaded by josh.ev9. Just checked my Blog site’s statistics and noticed that my readership on the West Coast has become the most popular readership group! Up to now, the Eastern Time Zone (where I am currently located) was the leader. I’m not too sure how this has happened, but it’s…

Worked out today, but running was not part of the equation. It’s nice to know that I’ve trained my body enough to feel like running is definitely part of the routine, and when I don’t do it I feel bad. Today was an absolutely beautiful day. Perfect running weather. It was a little windy, which…

Just returned from the IU Health Center. I decided my ankle pain was nagging me enough to warrant a trip to the doctor. They took my temperature and blood pressure, and those seemed to be fine, offering no clues as to the cause of my ankle pain. Then the doctor brought me into his room…

Talk about a whirlwind tour of San Diego…I was back in the land of my Alma Mater for the last day and a half. It was nice to get back, as brief as it was. It’s hard to remember how great the weather is there. Those who live there now: you don’t know how lucky…

My ankle hurts. Badly. It’s been in pain all day. About a mile into my 3 mile run this morning it started to be a touch painful, but I just ran through the pain. Big mistake. I won’t be doing that again. I’ve been limping all day, and even a bit depressed about the idea…

Didn’t run today. Bad Josh, bad! In my mind it was justified, however, since it was really cold out, and tomorrow will be 10 degrees warmer and sunny. I would have taken tomorrow off, so I just switched my running days. Should work out well, but this week will be a mess as far as…

So after more than two months, today I received a brand new computer in the mail, direct from IBM. I think I’ve been a really really good sport in that amount of time, and finally I’ve received the big payoff…but it leads to a problem. I’ve been upgraded from my used IBM T40 to a…

By the way, happy Valenstine (as my sister used to say) Day/Single Awareness Day to all those who are celebrating. 😛

I went running outdoors this morning. Let me tell you, there is a huge difference between treadmill and road running. I was in major pain throughout my run, and had to stop to walk a number of times. I cannot tell if it’s a psychological barrier or if it is actually working different muscles, but…
