Penfield Challenge 5K
Posted by john on September 30, 2007 in Running
Sunday morning was the Penfield Challenge 5K. This was my first year at this race, and it is a decent race with some notable sponsors and beneficiaries. Nalgene was a big sponsor, as was Tim Hortons, with the raised funds going to the Golisano Children’s Hospital at Strong. The turnout was large (over 220), and [...]
Geneseo 5K Results
Posted by john on September 29, 2007 in Running
Well, the race is over. Results are in. The race was extremely fast - I have never been in a race where the majority of the runners run the first mile under 7 minutes (which is what happened last night). Not only that, but in most 5K’s I have run, people tend to start out [...]
SUNY Geneseo Homecoming 5K
Posted by john on September 28, 2007 in Running
Tonight is the first annual SUNY Geneseo Homecoming 5K. I am excited about this race for a number of reasons. Firstly, it will be my first run since the Marathon - and I have been itching to run. Second, I like visiting Geneseo - and it helps to have a reason to visit (though I [...]
The Cottage
Posted by john on September 25, 2007 in Comments
My grandmother has a cottage in a small shore town in Connecticut. I spent a lot of time there growing up - mostly summers, but some holidays as well. At that time, my grandfather was alive the cottage was usually filled with family and friends. I learned a lot in the time I spent there, [...]
Coding
Posted by john on September 21, 2007 in Coding
I have been doing a lot of coding lately. Some big project, some small. I think that a lot of CS programs in college leave out some of the more important aspects of programing. Things like version control and configuration management, for example. While I did learn these in ‘life after college’, I feel that [...]
Weekend at Training House
Posted by john on September 19, 2007 in Running
Just a note (really for myself) about how the weekend leading up to the marathon went down. Matt arrived right on schedule at 6:30PM Friday night. After a tour of the house, we picked up Debbie Jones from the airport - she had been in Rochester a few weeks prior and was now visiting a [...]
Computer Nerding

Since the Rochester Marathon is over and I am taking a week or two off, I have had some free time to do some of the things that I have been putting off. Things like cleaning, mowing the lawn and working around the house. Tonight, I upgraded my MythTV system to use the new listing [...]
26.2
Posted by john on September 16, 2007 in Running
Today was the Rochester Marathon. I know that nothing I write can explain how awesome of an event this was, or how much it meant to me to be able to finish, so the best I can do is explain the event in terms of how it was managed, how the course was and how [...]
Blogging Via My Voice
Posted by johnscell on September 14, 2007 in Via Voice
This is a test. I am using Jott to blog. If you have never used Jott, you might want to take a minute and head over to the Jott website. Jott is a service that lets you dictate a quick note or reminder and have that note sent to some destination. I use it to [...]
The Big Weekend
Posted by john on September 14, 2007 in Running
Today, my friend Matt comes to spend the weekend at my house. Matt and I wrestled together for Liverpool High School, and I stayed with him in Rome for the 2007 Boilermaker (which, by the way, is a great race - I was not blogging at the time I ran the race, but I may [...]
