Caduceus's blog

Playing through the title Okami on my PS3.  My four year-old likes to watch and offer advice.  The two year-old likes feeding the animals.  It is a Zelda-like platform adventure game with RPG elements - powering up weapons and such.  There are a lot of "side" items to find.   Like 100 stray beads?!?

Well, my PC started endlessly rebooting last week.  A friend who is better with hardware and software than me (which isn't that hard, but I did build the damn thing from the ground up in 2005 without issue), shuttled it off and has determined that it isn't the memory or hard drive.  Which leaves the processor and motherboard.

I have been speccing out a system on and off, but wasn't quite prepared to shell out again for a new system.  Maybe I can simply upgrade my wife's Dell box and we can share...  Hrm... maybe not.

Well, I had hip pain prior to running in Orlando.  I ran the marathon at a respectable 4:14 (2 minutes from a PR).  I took two weeks off.  My lower right hip continued to hurt and it came roaring back when I ran a total of 13 miles over the weekend.

My local radiologist recommended an MRI prior to the marathon and I lay on the table in the tube Monday morning to find that I did indeed have a stress fracture in my inferior pubic ramus.

I ran the "Goofy Race and a Half Challenge" last weekend in Orlando - which included the half marathon on Saturday (1:54 and change) and the full marathon on Sunday (4:14 and such). We walked the parks two days before, the day of the half and the marathon and the day after. So it was quite a weekend.

Bloom and her sister came into our house in August of 2001 after we had moved to South Carolina as my wife wanted someone in the house when I was at the hospital overnight.

Last summer, she developed autoimmune hemolytic anemia, which caused her to be extremely fatigued.  She did well for several months, on various medications, but we came home tonight and I found her in the back yard.

I'll miss my running buddy.

Well, I dropped out at 18 miles.  It was a warm day.

I started out with my friend, did well until about 10 miles, he turned to me and said "We're going slower and slower."  And we were.  At that point we had gone from an 8:10 mile, to an 8:45.
