Here’s the Hercules and Love Affair one they mention. Not H&LC’s best work, sadly.
While we’re at it, how about some Phil Collins? I know, I was surprised too.
I updated Wordpress this morning and it has caused a few problems with all of my sloppy little K2 hacks. Updated K2 also, which seems to have gotten a little more complicated recently– I feel like I lost a little bit of control, but maybe that’s a good thing. Anyway, hopefully I’ll have it all sorted shortly.
I ran the Tipperary Hill Shamrock Run 4 miler in Syracuse on Saturday. It was my first race since the Buffalo Marathon in May. It was great to be back with a group again, and I’m looking forward to the spring racing season here.
I missed getting my PR for four miles by 1 second! I felt pretty good, but even though I’ve been running a lot in Syracuse, but I was not ready for the hills on this course. My splits were 6:40, 6:54, 7:56(!), and 7:39. This is why I hate short races– my cruise control doesn’t work. Mile 3 featured some of the steepest hills I’ve ever run. My total time was 29:21 (I ran a 29:20 at a race in Central Park a few years back– that race, of course, wasn’t too hilly), average pace was 7:16/mi. I wanted to break 28 minutes, but I guess that’s a goal for next year. The hills in Schiller Park, near our new house, will be a great training ground. I finished 206th, which put me just about in the top 10%, but there were some superfast folks out there.
This was the first run I’ve posted in a while– mostly because my Garmin GPS wasn’t compatible with my Mac until recently, and I’m happily without a PC laptop from work. All my recent runs are up now, including my first couple of 5+ mile runs in months. I’m feeling great, and hope to be back up to some respetable weekly milage in a few weeks (I’m at about 15 now, hope to be up to 25 soon). Once I’ve got my base back, I can start training for NYC again– this time less ambitiously. I received my guaranteed entry email a few days ago, now I just have to shell out again.

Fi-Hi : UBDJ – Urban DJ Mixer: Mixer.
This is the first mixing tool I’ve seen for non-vinyl formats that’s actually interesting. It’s cheap and portable, just like the things you’re supposed to use as inputs, and it leaves cueing and stuff up to the devices.
This would be amazing in a car, or as a theme to a party where everyone brings their iPods and are on the hook to mix.
