After this we went to look at Halloween costumes with no luck. We still have a cow outfit amongst us. Who will be the lucky one to wear it?

Muddy Buddy in 2 days!

That's what my phone looked like earlier today because it crashed. Someone's got to push the envelope right?

The Los Angeles Muddy Buddy is this Sunday and I hope to place within the top 10. Last year, my buddy had difficulties with the mt. bike and I was the one waiting for him at every other mile. We ended up coming in 80th place, which is just fine by me. But this year will be different, right?

Right!

No time for milk.
Hopefully I make it to the gym tonight, since the Muddy Buddy is this Sunday!

Nike Human race day. I'm happy with 51.

At the Nike Human Race packet pickup over at USC. The line was long but moved fairly quickly. You can see and anticipation in peoples faces for tomorrow's race. It's going to be a long day tomorrow. Never ran a race at midnight before.

These turned out pretty well. I haven't made pancakes since I went camping in April.
I should have added a scoop of pumpkin ice cream on top.

Ran 4 miles around this area with the local seach and rescue team conducting their training climbs.

The Nike Human Race 10k is in 5 days.

Where the Wild Things Are can be summed up in one onomatopoeia:

"Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrwwwwwwwwrrrrrrrr".

It's truly unique.

Looking at this hurts. I fixed another iPhone with a few new techniques I picked up on my own. It's running better than ever. Please don't drop it again!

The Nike Human Race 10k is in about a week. I need to get back into training mode.

Happy birthday!
It rained all night and morning, and now there's not a cloud in the sky. Well, there's some clouds way in the back.

Looking forward to some cake.

The rain caused a blackout in my neighborhood and all I've got are
some flashlights and my iPhone. The ice and frozen foods are melting,
my sisters birthday cake is suppose to be refridgerated, foods
spoiling, and the power is suppose to come back on tomorrow afternoon.

In case of a blackout or natural disaster, how prepared are you?

This is a great time for me to browse the app store, try reading a
few chapters with my headlamp, and calling it an early night.

What would you do in darkness?

My friend who lives there showed us around her place and the rooftop pool that overlooks DTLA. We sort of went around in circles since this complex is so complex. If you're wondering what the place is called, just check out "The Orsini".

Ran a 5k last night. Getting ready for the Nike Human 10K race with is in 10 days.

Training for the Nike 10k. I've got two weeks left.

The bike rack I bought on ebay finally arrived. It's the Thule 961XT, which can support two bikes. It doesn't quite fit as nicely as I expected on my car, but will fit perfectly on others.

I should start my 10k training tomorrow, since the Nike 10k race is in 15 days.

The weather has been a bit more chilly these days, which means only one thing, maybe two.
I'll let you know when I figure that out. Maybe it means I can't wear my favorite shorts anymore, because I get cold very easily. Maybe, just maybe I'll have to bring my winter wear out of the closet.. I mean floor. Most of my clothing is on the floor. I should really clean up my room.

What else... last night we failed to get some Kogi Tacos. The line was way too long and we weren't going to wait over an hr again for those. Lesson learned.

In honor of dineLA week, here's another photo for Sunday.

Afterwards, they had Pink's Hot Dogs catering in the next room. Didn't taste as good compared to the actual location in LA.

DineLA is back and I've already chosen my first restaurant.
