After a nice morning 5k, I stopped by to check out these model ship enthusiasts displaying their work, which was pretty impressive.

Car's brakes are working fine. Also barely avoided a mishap on the freeway, when the big rig next to us blew it's tire. Never drive next to a semi-truck!

Spared

I think I like the look of the yellow spare much better than the stock rims. What do you think?

Tire plug/repair kit

So I ended up going to the not so nearby 24-hr retailer to purchase this kit because of a screw that lodged itself into my car's rear wheel. Before that, I had googled DIY videos to get some pointers and how to go about with the repair. All I have to say is that everything looks easier on the screen. One hr later, with a bandaged pinky, a trip to the gas station to inflate the tire, and a bit of frustration, I managed to finish the job.

I could take it in tomorrow morning, but I have reservations to have my car's ECU software updated, and it's suppose to rain all day.

I just may be the few men out there that would even try this.

Some things to consider...

Taking my car in this Sat for the brake recall. I've read on the forums that it's working well enough.

My second half marathon didn't go so well. With hardly any training, I managed to finish in 2hrs 18mins or so. I was dead tired around mile 9 and decided to jog/walk the rest. My friend saw Shia Lebeouf, who finished in about 1hr38mins, and took a photo with him. He has to be fast to get away from the Decepticons!

I've got the LA full Marathon in less than a month...

Editing some shots I took with the phone. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to play in the snow in Whistler in a few weeks.

Vitamin C

I've been loading up on all sorts of vitamins in hopes that I'll be back to 100% for this Sunday's half marathon. I'm projecting a finishing time of 2hrs 15min +/- 15mins for the 13.1 mile race.

I've only ran close to 15 miles so far this year and hardly any the few months before that. Lets see what happens.

Victory day...

For most, it's the thought that counts. I've been under the *weather and I wanted something warm. Japanese ramen isn't the healthiest of dishes, but certainly is one of the tastiest. It provided me with enough juice for two rounds of shopping. Now I've got something to wear as the +1 for someone's wedding. Might be a good idea to find out a little more info on those someones.

After shopping, I cooked a romantic dinner! Well that's what the category was under on the foodnetwork website. This was no surprise because I had forgotten that I left the recipe on my car, and she found it. Pretty smooth huh? At least she said "I like salmon".

congested...

*Fell asleep on the sofa again without a blanket. Now that my room's clean, I guess I can go back there.

Her license plate holder says the following:

"I have P.M.S.

and a gun."

Oh, shoot...

Went to the range with some friends and was a bit nervous when it was my turn to take the first shot. It was fun, but I prefer first person shooters on the game consoles.

Prius from Evil...

Sounds like free us from evil. I've experienced the momentary braking loss for the second time today in my 2010 Prius. I want to try to see if I can get this on film, but there's a lot of things that need to be worked out. I bet there's an app for what I'm looking for.

Anyways, I'm close to 15k miles, and I'm likin' it, since lovin' is taken by McD.

One year memorial service dinner for my grandmother. She always made sure we were full.

I'm stuffed!


On a different note, my dad finished his first full marathon today! 5hrs 45mins for 26.2 miles! His time is better than my first marathon time.

LA coming up...

Chicken and Waffles

I'm craving that!

Also, found a nice site that may be helpful for travelers looking for a great deal on a place to stay. It's called airbnb . Definitely worth checking out, and maybe I'll use it in my future travels.

Just my luck.
This happened while trying to get out of the parking lot. On the
bright side, the side skirt is made of plastic. What to do...

I could probably eat more than half of those pastries in one sitting, but since I've got two marathons (full and half) this month, I'll only eat 12.

Totals miles so far: 3.5 .........
