For hours, days, weeks I’ve been trying to get my WordPress website to work properly. There’s a bug somewhere precluding my editing or saving blog posts outside of the initial text draft. That means I can’t add photos, make changes to any post once I’ve uploaded the text to the site, modify any pages that […]
Mindlessly doom scrolling is a danger of screens and social media. As is mindlessly trawling through the internet and occasionally checking what marathons are nearby. In 2022, as we emerged from the isolations of the Covid Pandemic (which in some ways has only gotten worse with conspiracy theories and junk-faux-science betraying vaccination and actual healthcare), […]
I’ve spent several hours trying to troubleshoot and figure out what’s wrong with the wordpress coding of runkevinrun.com. There was an electrical surge a few weeks back that knocked everything out… and then another power outage recently that seemed to reset the server correctly… or so I thought. But now I can’t seem to edit […]
Having driven straight back from Santa Rosa, barring a quick pitstop to get gas outside the Pea Soup Anderson’s restaurant in Santa Nella, CA, I discovered my webserver is inexplicably down that hosts runkevinrun.com. We had a split-second power outage back home and I’m not entirely sure if the server got fried or just needs […]
It’s hillier than I remember. I say this because when folks have asked me about the San Francisco Marathon prior to yesterday, I know I’ve said, “It’s not as hilly as you’d think, given that it’s in San Francisco.” And maybe that is still true… but gosh it felt like a lot more hills this […]
I’ve been struggling for several months. A lingering injury in my right leg. It’s not plantar fasciitis. It’s not broken. It’s just… tweaked? Weak? Hurts. If emotional and situational stress has a tendency to attack one’s weakest physical part, this isn’t surprising either – my back and leg are definitely the proverbial soft underbelly, even […]
There will be (green) blood. Apparently there was a massive falling out between the race director and The Little A’Le’Inn management — certainly felt like the A’Le’Inn was in the wrong but who knows? What was clear upon the bus arrival (travel time: 2.5 hours from the Vegas Strip), was that this would now be […]
An excuse to run a race. An early start. A bit of rain while we waited. A slog at the end. Not much of a poem, but there ya go. But here’s something to remember the day by: I asked chatGPT to make a CGI animated cartoon version of my finisher photo as that seems […]
Twenty years ago, my brother and I ran the Los Angeles Marathon. It was his first and my second race. The previous year I had run Salt Lake City as a personal goal… and Steve said he’d like to do one himself. I figured I’d train with him… little did either one of us realize […]
Looking back, it’s astonishing I was able to run this thing in 2006. Every year since I’ve entered the lottery… EVERY. YEAR. Even when it cost $11 to do so. And every year it’s the same “thanks for playing… but it’s a no.” The cliched definition of madness.
