Website Updates

So, in an effort to force myself to use the website a bit more, I went through and did a little work on it today. Basically my problem is that I don’t want to update 40 different things with the same information… By 40, I basically mean 2… I really don’t feel like updating my Facebook and website stuff when I really want things to be identical.

I went fishing around through WordPress’s extensive plugin library looking for things that will simultaneously update my facebook and website at the same time. I was pleasantly surprised to find quite a few options. I’m still in the process of playing with them to figure out which ones I like and which ones I don’t. Maybe when I’m finished I’ll post which plugins I ended up with.

Buffalo Marathon Training – Week 7

So it became a little excessive with the daily posts about each run, so I kinda gave up on that. I hope everyone is sorely disappointed.

Instead, I figured I would just write when I had something reasonable to say. This week, it is the fact that I am entering unknown territory. This weeks long run is 14 miles long and will be the longest I’ve ever run. Exciting. Other than that it’s been going OK with the exception of Week 5 during which I basically had to do two long runs because of a scheduling conflict.

Oh! Also got new shoes! Asic GT-2140. They feel good. I had about 500 miles on my old shoes, which I think is excessive for me. With the new ones it feels like I’m running on clouds. Nice.

Buffalo Marathon Training – Week 1, Day 1

3… 2… 1… REST!

Gotta love any training program that begins on a rest day. I technically start today, but the running doesn’t start until tomorrow. I’m glad that weather from last week is gone, I have a better chance of surviving this now.

I have to figure out some way to post my training schedule so I can refer to it. I will get back to you shortly…

Good day.

Let’s try this again.

Its been a year since I’ve started paying for web hosting space. It actually took that long for the spam bots to find my website and start posting things about Viagra and other prescription medications. As I was deleting them all, I noticed that I needed to update the wordpress software. So I did. In the process I also deleted the old database, as I had only posted twice in a year. Mostly I did it to perhaps force myself to start writing again.

We’ll see.
