1. I completed my HB Half-Marathon. Just. Turns out I was running with a severe case of the flu and didn't feel it because I was eating so well. I had a fever in the morning, popped a couple of pills, and ran. The first 7 miles were fine, the last 6 were torture. It took me more than 3 hours... I almost had to crawl across the finish line. But, it was the 3rd race of the Beach Cities challenge, and there was no way I was going to be denied my Beach Cities Medal. It was the most physically challenging event I have ever done. It was the most satisfying, personal win. The body quit. The mind didn't.
2. I've been anticipating Paramore's new album for a long time. I found a quick 6 song sample on youtube, and admittedly am a touch disappointed. I feel there's a lack of a real hook from the main guitarist and the drum style is completely different. Granted, there are two new members of the band since the Farro brothers had quit, but in terms of musical style, they fit my tastes well. the new sound is more pop-like, far more intricate with drums, yet less articulate with melody, yet with a softer sound. Of course, I found songs that resonate with me lyrically, but that is the talent of the band.
3. I'm anticipating the addition of Lotus Elise wheels to my MR2 Spyder. Ive added a chassis brace, and the rigidity helped tremendously. However, Id like to run a higher spring rate wtihout having to lower the car much and somehow skip the coilover route. The best way to do that, for now, is running with thicker roll bars. At least it'll be an easier install.
