Anyone Can Play Guitar

Man! Nothing like good music, a few cups of coffee and a sleepless study session to make you feel alive! Reminds me of the good old days in the Corps with caffeine pills and sleeping bags under my office desk.

That’s Where It’s At

Sub-21 minute three-mile run clocked this morning at 20:53:00. The new goal is 19:30:00.

Sleeping is giving in, so lift those heavy eyelids

So I was running my daily three-mile and thought I was backtracking to older end times, which was briefly depressing until I realized I was running a minute faster than I thought. 21:15! Maybe I should try for sub-20:00.

Intellectual Loneliness

It’s amazing to me to think of how many people there are in the world, and then to think of how many people there are who I don’t think I will ever understand.

Sometimes, I’d love to be brought back to my brothers in shackles and carry out the rest of my days pointing at all those lovely shadows on the wall. But then I’d miss the sunlight.

22:00:00

I did it! This morning, I ran three miles in 22:00 exactly. Now I’m wondering if I should start lifting or try for 21:00.

Ambition Only Leads to Failure

I tried my hand at swimming laps this morning. Kicked my ass. Fun, though.

Victory’s Sweet Even Deep in the Cheap Seats

22:28 on my three-mile run this morning. A personal record!

I’m coming for you fast, 22.

I’d Be Running Up That Hill

Karim — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 15:22:38 +0000

I ran my 3-mile in 23:00 this morning! I expect I’ll get at that elusive sub-22:00 this week, barring any unplanned plateaus.

You Are a Runner and I Am My Father’s Son

Karim — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 22:16:41 +0000

I reached my initial 3-mile goal of 24:00 on Wednesday, and the next day I ran 23:25! Next up: 22:00.

In medias res

Karim — Tue, 13 May 2008 04:36:00 +0000

Sometimes I fear I am too ordinary to expect that I am capable of greatness.
