I Say There's a Reason Things Happen
I for one welcome our new Yahoo overlords.
The most concrete confirmation of what’s about to happen yet: “Sources said that the Silicon Valley Internet giant’s CEO Marissa Mayer has decided that buying Tumblr was going to be ‘the stake in the ground of what her strategy is going forward for Yahoo.’”
I have no motivation to shower right now. Mostly because I do not feel like I deserve a shower. I haven’t run all week. I went out tonight with the intention of doing five miles. My chest was super tight and I couldn’t get enough air. My hips hurt, but in the end I just gave up. I walked three…
You know what the hardest part about going through depression was? Never wanting to shower. Ever. I mean, to this day I hate showering. I do it, but it’s still not every single day. (No longer than every other). But I remember it being so burdensome, I would probably go three or four days without one. When I would, it would be hard. This post just reminded me of that.
Guys, guys. GUESS WHAT MY WEIGHT WAS TODAY?!?!?! 227.3. 227.3!!! I haven’t been below 230 even when I regained momentum after the first time I gained all the weight.
Sooo good! I am a mere 7lbs away from what I was at when I entered college. (and am a LOT more fit). And 27 away from my goal weight.
See what running long distances does to me? I become a fat burning machineeeee. I feel so good.
Dr. Kermit Gosnell was found guilty of murder on Monday, for killing three babies during supposed late-term abortion procedures he performed at a clinic which serves low-income women in Philadelphia. He was also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, and 21 counts of performing an abortion after 24 weeks of pregnancy. Gosnell faces the death penalty for his crimes, and sentencing is expected next week. (Update: Clarified wording based on newer version of the story. — Scott @ SFB; Photo via MicahFries.com) source
GOSNELL CASE COVERAGE?! What is this?!! Is this for real? Am I imagining this?
Medical Update
Last evening, just 23 days after the bombing attack on Boston, our seven year old daughter Jane underwent her eleventh surgery. While she has more trips to the O.R. ahead of her, last night’s operation marked an important milestone, as doctors were finally able to close the…
They have a tumblr! Praying for this family. Wish I knew what they looked like in case I saw them around
Diagnosed with autism at age 2, told he would never learn to read, now 14 years old and working on a Master’s degree in quantum physics.
If you’re looking for an inspiration today, look no further than Jacob Barnett.
I like his mom’s concept of “muchness”: Surrond children with what they love, be it art, science, sports or whatever, and they will develop more fully than molding them to a design would ever allow.

An Ohio prosecutor vowed Thursday to pursue murder charges against the Cleveland kidnapping suspect for terminating the pregnancies of the women he is accused of holding captive for a decade.
AND YET. Abortion is legal.
I did 6 miles today. I was going to run at lunch, but it was pouring. 
I’m always hesitant to wait til after work to do runs, because I’m that person who is exhausted after a hard days work and will use it as an excuse. But, this time, I figured since it looked like the next picture (which was supposed to show up sunnier than it was) I could get in a quick run between storms and I was home early anyway. My aim was four, so I stopped at the park on my way home that’s next to the Charles River.
I started my run and felt REALLY good. Like, REALLY good, but I was indecisive on where to go (new areas will do that to me) and because of the weather. So, I stopped and turned around at a point, the came back to a bridge. I decided to go for it, cross it, and find the next bridge to cross back. This stretched me, and I ended up outside my comfort zone which generally slows me down (counterintuitive, I know). Anyway, after what seemed like eternity, I found the next bridge. By the time I came back to my car, I was like “well, I’m feeling good, and I don’t think I hear rumbling thunder anymore, so lets go back to the bridge and come back”. Of course I get to the bridge, still feel really good, and decide to go down the path again. This time, I took the wooded trail (note: not sidewalk. We’re talking rocks and things) adjacent to the river. It would be really really fun if I wasn’t so nervous about slipping in mud, getting stuck in a puddle, or getting abducted (ok that last one was the devil getting to me). Here’s the blurry picture of that.
I made it back with .25 miles to go to 10k. So I ran to the end of the parking lot then back to my car. I did it HARD. I had so much energy still! By the time I finish 6.12, it started REALLY down pouring. This is me wet, although not obvious.
And yes, that says “Engineers = Integral of e to the xy”. It’s normally a lighter dark blue… So I called it a day. I told BAA that I would finish in 1:15:00. Today was 1:09:50. Eeaaaasssiiiilllyyy beatable.
So if you switch this next picture with the first picture, that’s what I meant to show as the seemingly sunny break in the storms. That first picture is actually in the middle of ran on the bridge so you can see the drops.
Yes, we all know that the media is biased, but it’s nice to have the data that prove it. According to a report by CNS news, In the first eight days following the beginning of two recent news stories, Jason Collins’ announcement that he was gay and Kermit Gosnell’s murder trial, the media…
So I submitted this to Rewarder.Com, it’s a website which pays you to help people with things. Anything. It’s a really cool website. Anyway, this guy asked what I’d do with him right now if he came to my neighborhood and what 5 places I visit the most. So I wrote about Boston, obviously, and sent him this picture. It’s pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.
So this happened today! Since I dropped down to a 5k in this weekend’s race I realized that a 10k has been my goal distance for like years. And I knew I wanted to get a race on my calendar before this summer. The BAA 10k was a no brainer. BOSTON STRONG.
I so wish I could run this with you! I have to ask my surgeon Friday how long I’m banned from working out :(
Just registered for this today!!!
