July Running and this last week

It was a lousy week to run. It rained every day which meant I only ran three times for 8 miles.  I did 1 on Monday 2 on Wednesday and 5 today.  I think I needed the rest anyway.  The last four runs were horrible.  But today the 5 miles felt smooth, not fast (took [...]

Week in review

My legs feel beat lately.  Although I had some decent runs lately, I mostly feel lathargic.  I know this is because of the increased hours in the lab.  I will be keeping all of my runs at 2 miles with  hopefully more runs in the coming weeks do to working two jobs rather than my [...]

Last minute Potter – spoilers

Last night Lidia got home early so Stacey and I took off to see HP6.  It wasn’t a very good Potter.   Stop reading now if you don’t want details.
Things I liked about the movie:

The Tail of two toes

Thankful

Good news.  I have a position with Life Technologies.  It is a 50% research and 50% production position in their media formulation group.  This is my first position in industry.  What is very exciting to me is the opportunities to grow with LT.  It seems that once in the door the choice is mine as [...]

Great weather is always welcome

We have had a few great weather weekends here.  Unfortunately that means we are entering the season where I feel as though my gym membership is a waste.  I can’t see lifting in a smelly gym when outside is so beautiful.  Luckily this gym is only 20.00 a month, of course I will try to [...]

update to last blog

It is snowing.
I know I said this was a spelling and grammar free zone but that last blog was really bad. So I fixed it up some. Wow, no blogging in the wee early hours of the morning for me anymore.
