Yeah and it looks like I will be in Hood River without a car so that's a hike.

 

Boo!  Well I hope you enjoy Oregon!  It's lovely up there.

So in the ongoing saga that has been replacing my Netbook (a mini laptop) with a tablet, it seems that after spending a million dollars purchasing two external keyboards for the stupid thing (the first one I bought online was the wrong model), it seems as though I am doing just fine using the two onscreen keyboards.

This is surprising to me because I write a crap ton, and all the reviews I read indicated that a "real" keyboard was an absolute must. For whatever reason though, I am not finding that to be the case. So after all of that I've returned one keyboard and may end up returning the other.

I have a surface pro and while I like the detachable keyboard I got for it, it's more a nice to have than a must have.

The foot that was all fucked up yesterday feels a lot better today. I, of course, had a panic because the symptoms were similar to something like sesamoiditis, which would be a bitch to get rid of, but today it just feels like the aftereffects of a cramp somewhere in my arch that happened during/after my race when I would have been too jacked up on adrenaline to notice it - no more ball-of-foot pain, just feels like it could use a good stretch. Gonna try a few miles later, maybe with a metatarsal pad in place.

So, back to the land of the living.  I haven't been around in a few days.  Not enough running over the holiday, mostly sleeping in and stuffing my face.  Now that I'm back to reality, I ran 6.5 miles this morning.

 

On a more exciting note, I took advantage of the Gift card sale that running warehouse had a couple weeks ago, and ordered a $100 GC which came with a free $25 GC.  I wanted to stock up on my Guide 8's, which were on clearance for $72, so with the 15% fb code, I could get 2 pairs with the gift cards.  Anyway, I farted around and didn't order them until today, and by George, they are only $51 now.  So, bottom line, I got 3 pairs of shoes for $105 (or $35/pair).  Merry Christmas to me!!

Procrastination doesn't often pay off like that. In fact it usually ends up costing you double. lol

No kidding, this is not a good thing to reinforce with me.

 

Mine is a Surface as well. I couldn't believe it didn't come with Microsoft Word installed. That's buying a new car without a motor FFS.

Yeah, that pretty much sucked.  Fortunately I had a license I could use to load Microsoft office.
