Countdown App

After looking high and low for close to an hour I finally found a countdown clock that did what I wanted it to. Countdown is a Google Chrome Extension that may not be pretty but it is straight up simple.

I especially like the little clock on the tool bar that shows the number of days remaining. What would be even better is if I could make Google Calendar do it but alas there is no way I could find to achieve this. If there was/is then I would be able to check my calendar from my phone or anywhere and know how many days remained and what day of training I needed to be on.

Life gets busy and I miss a day or two of training. Getting back on track is much easier if I know where to pick back up again. This little gem will help me do that with ease. Thank you Mermin for making it.

100 Days Until BAA115

I'm about to head out for a training run as I get ready for the 115th Boston Marathon. There's 100 days until race day. I've been slacking something serious but no more. Cold weather be damned. Even if it is 4°F/-16°C, the sun is shining and I feel good.

Not sure how long I will be out. I'm thinking 90 minutes. Don't have a specific time because I haven't charted out my training schedule. This far out I'm sure it won't matter a whole lot. So long as I am smart about my pace and keep my feet under me I should be alright.


I've got Qik on my phone so recording and posting videos will be MUCH easier than the last time I did this sort of thing.
