Running of the Leopards 5k Results
Yesterday Jamie and I ran a 5k put on by a local high school. This was Jamie’s first 5k and my 3rd so we were pretty stoked to see how well we would do. The run was great and we did pretty good however I was disappointed that the race statistics didn’t have a break down by age group, instead there was one massive list containing everyone in the order they finished: http://www.utah.usatf.org/assoc/ut/lepresults10.htm
I enjoy looking at my age group to see how I rank when compared to others near my age so I decided to write a quick script to generate age groups for the race: http://www.xmech.net/Leopards5kAgeGroups.html
I did much better than my last 5k (4th out of 5th in my age group) and I hope to be in the top 10 next time.
8:36PM Photo Project
While browsing twitter I found a reference to something called the “8:36 project”. You can read about it here however the idea is to take a picture of what you’re doing (no matter how mundane) at exactly 8:36 PM every day.
Being able to look back at your collection of photos will allow you to build an idea of how your life unfolded through a given month, year, and beyond.
To start things off I snapped a picture Sunday night:
Jamie and I decided to try and make some Gnocchi for dinner (it’s always nice to spend some time together cooking) and it turned out great.
I’ll be posting my photos to my picasa album and hope to continue this indefinitely.
