Lunch time run on a Beautiful Day

judah — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 23:03:20 +0000

Today was awesome so I had to get outside. And I don’t know what possessed me other than the enjoyment of self imposed pain by extreme physical activity on beautiful days but I ran 4.78 miles. Seriously going to feel this one tomorrow as my 215 (lost 2lbs this week) body isn’t what you would call an ideal runners frame.

Here’s a map of my run. Great access to some fun locations right off campus here at Mentor Graphics. Memorial Park is great for both running and Mountain Biking (when it dries up some more) it’s right down by the river and there is a nice small stand of trees with great trails so it makes you feel like you get out in the forest.

So here’s for more sunny days! And here’s to more 5 mile runs!! DID I MENTION HOW MUCH I HATE RUNNING! But I did it and do it and will probably subject myself to the horror again.

Get it out there

So now I can post videos much faster than before as well. I can upload directly to YouTube from my mobile phone by mms. So it looks like were making things even easier still. I could have probably started doing all of this a little earlier but you know how it goes sometimes. Let’s stay in the current moment and not dwell in the past. Yes, I know most of the time things here are the past even if I’m writing about something happening in the present. By the time anyone reads it it’s in the past.. but that’s nit picking.

So on with the show. Two videos of Lavi (of course). He is definitely the easiest thing for me to document here and you know that’s good for the family!! My vow is to provide something other than Lavi at times just so you don’t get entirely bored.

This first is Lavi’s first experience with trudging through huge mud puddles. I hope this happens again and again for a long time.

And this displays Lavi’s beautiful singing voice…

So there we go. A couple of posts right in a row to get caught up on some Lavi. For those who are interested keep an eye on the right side of this site at the my flickr stream where you’ll see more frequent image updates than might get posted here as blog entries. And now you can check out my YouTube Channel for more video media.

It’s going to be a Sunny weekend here in Portland. Can’t wait to see what kind of trouble we can get into. More time in the forest I hope.

Exploring Forest Park

judah — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 00:15:19 +0000

Alright, after a long lame streak for updates of my life and interesting things involved in that life I’ve made some moves to motivate myself to do it and some easier ways to post content. I’m “all up in the tubes” as they say..

Anyway, last Sunday was adventure day for me, Lavi and Nellie. We caught a break in the rain showers and headed into Forest Park for some exploring. We had a great time most of the first part of Leif Erikson Trail is uphill from where we started but Lavi does a great job trudging up and up.

One of the most entertaining and interesting things to see was when I realized that Lavi was following Nellie around and mimicking her own exploration. At one point Nellie went up to a tree and Lavi was hanging back about a foot behind her. She smelled the tree and then moved on and he walked right up to the same tree put his nose to the bark and sniffed. Then he proceeded to move on the exact path Nellie did when she left the tree. I thought that was awesome.

Also, I saw a woodpecker. I heard it off the side of the trail and was able to scan the forest and locate it’s position.. Nice pecker. So lets see how it goes from here shall we…

Completely Tired!

That about sums it up. I’m freaking tired. Busy days abound but life is cruzing along nicely. Going to have to knock out our taxes this week and the trash needs to go out tonight.

Anyway, hi. Lots of talk amping the neighborhood about outdoor activities. Looks like everyone has the spring fevers!

Can’t get this out of my skull

Don’t look down, just go fast.

I still have them. They exists. There will be something interesting here sometime. Really. I mean, I’m not just saying that. I believe it within myself.
