1/2 marathons

Posted on April 14, 2009

I was supposed to run the 1/2 marathon in Cincy in two weeks. Three weeks. Something like that. I didn’t prepare. However, I am prepared to place blame and list excuses. So here it goes.

While all these excuse are, well they are actually excuses, it doesn’t make up for a lack of will. The reason I am not prepared is because it was harder than I imagined it would be in January. When I finished my 1/2 in October I was on top of the world. Better physical and mental shape I had been in for years.  I think perhaps I am in worse shape now, one year after deciding to do the 1/2 in October 2008.

I am not sure why. I only have excuses. Not a real understanding.

On my agenda, perhaps walking the 1/2 in Cincy in May. Also running the Lou Cox 5k with my oldest son on Memorial Day. I am sure about the Lou Cox, not sure about walking the 1/2. Stay tuned. I will let you all know.

Post Office conundrum

Posted on April 10, 2009

Today I stopped into the US Post Office on Ludlow between 2nd and 3rd St. This place is always empty and there is never a clerk at the counter. There is a sign made of yellow paper hanging on a stanchion 5 feet from the counter. The sign says:

Do not approach the counter, Please wait to be called.

This is the equivelant of the “line”. Wait at the line. Even when no one else is there. A similar hand made sign is taped to the counter. (To the left in the photo) and there is a professional sign attached to the counter as well. This is not a problem. I normally wait behind the first sign, on a nice USPS rug and wait for the person to appear from behind the great wall.

But..But..today I noticed a new sign. Look on the counter. In the same color yellow, the sign reads:

Please Ring Bell

Okay this is a trick. Don’t leave the carpet without permission. To get permission you have to leave the carpet and ring the bell. What to do? Ring and be wrong or wait all day. Hmm. I chose to wait.

Stay. Ring Bell. Stay.

Click on the photo and click again for a closer look.

I was thinking the other day about all the stuff that my kids will never experience, play with, watch or enjoy.

Here is my list:
