Austin Bits and Atoms: January 2010
http://austinbitsandatoms.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 6, 2010. Side-by-side I had chicken breast packages. One organic, one not. One cost $9.00, the other cost $3.00. The organic chicken breasts were small. The non-organic breasts were HUGE and resembled turkey breasts more than their sisters in the other package. Thoughts that came to mind included, OMG. All within a matter of seconds. I chose the $9 organic breasts but it really was a challenge to put the HUGE $3 breasts back on the shelf. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Road Bike - Caliente.

Austin Bits and Atoms: June 2010
http://austinbitsandatoms.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 8, 2010. Phone Recluse No Longer. The Sprint HTC Evo 4G phone arrived last night. 3G and 4G capability. 8 GB SD card. The Palm Treo never recovered from tagging along in the pool during my long swim. The dry rice trick didn't work. Many speculated on FB that I intentionally killed the Treo. Thursday, June 3, 2010.

Austin Bits and Atoms: February 2011
http://austinbitsandatoms.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 22, 2011. This bear is out of hibernation. The last four runs have been fantastic. The legs feels like brand new springs. I got a tweet the other day from a friend's stream saying the Mexican smoke is back. I found a NASA satellite image. That we should all check to see if the smoke is making its way to Central Texas at the particular time we decide to run. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Austin, Texas, United States.

Austin Bits and Atoms: Endurance Events No More
http://austinbitsandatoms.blogspot.com/2010/11/endurance-events-no-more.html
Saturday, November 20, 2010. Endurance Events No More. Endurance races are for the young. I'd rather be done with the event in under two hours and get on with it; sitting with friends, drinking a beer and having a meal. Training for endurance sports take too much time away from other things I like to do. I'd rather go fast for minutes than go slow for hours. So it was a good ride while it lasted. I'm getting out with my knees intact and enough cartilage to last a few more years. View my complete profile.

Austin Bits and Atoms: September 2009
http://austinbitsandatoms.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 30, 2009. ACL Plan B in Place. It's hard to believe I haven't used this trail more often as it's super close to the house and is hardly used. Just as I was finishing I stepped in a hole and I felt my ankle go sideways as I braced my fall crashing down on my hands. I think it'll be ok as there's hardly any swelling. Tuesday, September 29, 2009. Back to the Drawing Board. Friday, September 25, 2009. What I've Been Reading This Week - Link Friday. Well Blog - NYTimes.com. A note to summ...

Austin Bits and Atoms: Visiting the Longhorn Half-Ironman Again This Coming October
http://austinbitsandatoms.blogspot.com/2010/07/visiting-longhorn-half-ironman-again.html
Thursday, July 15, 2010. Visiting the Longhorn Half-Ironman Again This Coming October. There's only one thing that could get me back to do the Longhorn Half-Ironman. Again If my brother called up and said, "Why don't we do it together? There was a long pause of several weeks between the call and the registration. I think we were each feeling the other one out on level of seriousness. Yesterday, he registered. I manned up and registered as well. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Austin Bits and Atoms: November 2009
http://austinbitsandatoms.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 17, 2009. In order to run a marathon or even 10 or 13 miles you have to at least plan a few weeks, if not months ahead. I mean, sure, you could wake up one morning at 4:00 am and think you could drive down to the race of the week and sign up at that moment. It's been done many times and the people who did this probably survived. I finished the run. Met some good people. Had a great time in San Antonio. Now disillusioned about signing up for races. I'm in a training rut t...The rut will ...

Austin Bits and Atoms: Bad Shoes
http://austinbitsandatoms.blogspot.com/2010/07/bad-shoes.html
Thursday, July 22, 2010. I felt a slight rubbing on the right side of the right foot but disregarded it inconsequential as I wasn't over five miles for the evening. I gasped when I saw my little toe while getting dressed for a gym workout today at noon. A reddish bloody blister. The numero dos pair of New Balance will find themselves in the trunk of the car tonight and that's where they'll stay, except for when they're on my feet while on the trail. Labels: New Balance 431.
